Followup: My previous setup was that the game was actually installed by a windows multiboot environment and it was also launched in windows. Later on i linked steam in wine to the same location where windows installed the files and it worked. Now i have a new set-up linux distro and installed the game through wine-steam and it does not work anymore. Same wine version 2.17-staging where it first worked and now not anymore. And every time i check the game files, it downloads a 3,4mb file. Ideas?
After some testings, i suspect Steam CEG. I tried to make it accurate to my old setup, but what changed is that steam now always regenerates the exe without checking the game files, which it did not do before.
