          Severity: normal

Terminal output in latest Git.

Left 4 Dead 2 does not start, even when installed correctly.  This is different
to bug 20736, which is only concerned with the installation.

Various hacks from bug 20736 are required install it to the point where it will
try to launch (alternatively a Windows or Crossover Games copy can be used).

This works fine in Crossover Games.

There no longer seems to be a way to install this correctly with Wine (see bug
20910), but it can still be done by copying over the installed files from a
Windows VM.  (At which point this bug is still present in the latest Git.)

This seems fixed for me when using a copy installed using Crossover Games. 
Still can't install with Wine, so bug 20910 remains.  Others seem to be OK now
too judging by the AppDB comments.
