Hi all.

I have been using (trying) to use steam games on linux through a virtual drive.

I have installed Borderlands 2 and it runs perfectly, until i press a key, then it freezes before crashing.

I can get through all the menus and even into the game, where i can aim, look around, and shoot, until i pres a key, then it crashes.

A little help, please?

Does disabling Steam overlay help?

I cannot navigate to the steam optons, as there is no text on my steam windows. It is running in a virtual drive, and i have all the POL packages recommended but cannot fix it.

Ok, nevermind. I now installed the steam client through the "Install program" official option on POL, and then from that it worked. I was using steam on a previously used virtual drive, and used 'Install components' on that drive to get steam. Go through the setup on a new virtual drive, and it all works perfectly. Thanks for the help.

 

Out.

Don't forget to mark your post as "solved"

Also, I have confirmed that Wine 1.7.40 and newer now support the in-game overlay for most games.
