Quake, Quake2 , Doom3 etc failing to install

Support
1

Hello,
I’m having issues installing quake 1, quake2, doom3 and probably anything else
requiring winesteam to copy over game data.

the installer tries to install from Linux steam client (and fails)

I’m running the latest Lutris from the Debian Repository
I’m running Debian Strech (testing)
Steam Linux build Aug23 2016, at 18:25:43 (1471977975)

it used to work about 3 weeks ago on Debian testing but I’ve since reinstalled with an encrypted home & system.
and games are now stored on /mnt/games/Games on their own HDD outside of the encryption

the output of lutris on the terminal is

thadeus :: ~ » lutris -v

any help would be fantastic :blush:

Can you check the permissions in your Steam folder? When moving stuff from one drive to another, your user pid might have changed.

Lutris will try to write a file to .local/share/Steam/SteamApps/appmanifest_[appid].acf where appid is the id of the game on Steam. This is what triggers the download of the game and wrong permissions would explain why it’s not downloading.

I don’t have that dir or file at all
/home/dthomas/.steam/CONFIG/SteamAppData.vdf!
the closest I have is this all lowercase.

and all permissions are set to dthomas:dthomas

Have you checked the .local/share/Steam/SteamApps/ folder? this is the one that is used by Lutris. You should have a file called appmanifest_2320.acf if Lutris managed to create it.

the file
.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/appmanifest_2320.acf
does exist just not in that location it is in a lower case version “SteamApps”
.local/share/Steam/steamapps

I botched it by
ln -sf .local/share/Steam/steamapps .local/share/Steam/SteamApps
all works again as far as installing goes :0)

but I don’t understand why all my steam stuff is in lower case

I’m running ext4 so nothing fancy on the filesystem end.

Ok, that’s weird. Steam was a Windows only program for a long time so it’s case insensitive for most of its stuff. We have ways of dealing with that in Lutris ( https://github.com/lutris/lutris/blob/master/lutris/util/system.py#L186 ) and so far I haven’t noticed any difference by having paths in lower case or mixed case in Steam.
