--- Comment #12 from cherrytreesforever@yahoo.com --- Well this is the case. (I thought this ticket was over--I'm glad it is not). I could spend several hours downloading games on the windows version of steam. When I have playonlinux going, it says steam for windows needs to be installed. So it installs it. Most of the time everything works in the UI for steam for windows (under wine) until I restart Linux. Then for some reason when linux boots back up, everything in the steam (windows version) is broken. The entire UI is non-functional, and all the games are dead in the dirt. Its like (each time after linux starts) I have to re-open PlayOnLinux, have it reinstall steam for windows, then re-download all the games just to play in that session. I just know something isn't right, and since WINE is suppose to make windows apps work on steam, I feel this is somehow an issue related to WINE. I'm not really sure who else to go to, since Steam support tells me Steam for windows does not run on Linux unless its ran through WINE. I know there is a version of Steam for linux, but no windows games can be downloaded or bought for the Linux version of Steam. I hope I was more detailed this time. I re-reviewed my last posts and I didn't think I was clear enough. Sorry about that.
The UI breaks, Everything is forgotten, games no longer work (click the links to say "South Park Stick Of Truth (for windows)" game does nothing. Click the steam icon for windows version of steam--steam loads, but the UI is nothing at all. It is still doing it. tested in 1.9.21... It just won't do what it is suppose to. So still I'm stuck using Microsoft windows to run windows games on windows and the windows version of steam on windows--forever I am stuck with windows :( ---- I really would love to switch to Linux SOOOOOO BADLY!!! :( Its just too bad games are always produced by windows. But thankfully you guys help make Wine so great and others work on PlayOnLinux--hopefully in the future these two software will be so good we all can play our windows games on linux...
Anyways. I hope this issue is resolved soon. I will test again next version.
P.S. I don't like windows...
