Summary: Desktop launchers generated by Steam use unregistered URL handler Product: Wine Version: 1.3.8 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: shell32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jkohen@users.sourceforge.net CC: Andrew@CodeWeavers.com, sirbubbles01@yahoo.com.au
After upgrading Steam to the new UI, the application icons Steam generates have a launch command doesn't work with Wine, because the steam URL handler isn't registered (at least in GNOME):
[Desktop Entry] Name=Uplink Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wine" wine winebrowser steam://rungameid/6910 Type=Application StartupNotify=true
$ wine winebrowser steam://rungameid/1510 fixme:ntoskrnl:KeInitializeTimerEx stub: 0x110f60 0 gvfs-open: steam://rungameid/1510: error opening location: La ubicación especificada no está soportada (That translates to "unsupported location.")
A desktop file generated with the older UI looks like this and launches the game fine:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Name=Deus Ex Game of the Year Edition Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wine" wine "C:\Archivos de programa\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 6910 Type=Application StartupNotify=true Path=/home/user/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Archivos de programa/Steam Icon=/home/user/.local/share/icons/b45c_hdtp.png
There's a workaround for this problem. Add an URL handler for the steam protocol to your desktop environment and have it run the following: wine "c:\Archivos de Programa\steam\steam.exe" %s
