> Windows 7 still powers my gaming rig by it most likely will move to Linux because Steam.

There are some kinks to be worked out. I'm seeing the following scenario:

I have Ori and the Blind Forest installed through Steam on Ubuntu 18.04. Attempting to play it through the steam client causes a crash. Navigating to the install directory in a terminal and running the simple command `wine oriDE.exe` runs the game with zero apparent problems.

Of course Steam isn't using the local wine installation, but... still? The game works flawlessly with the absolute bare minimum of effort. What's Steam doing instead?

(I tried watching the startup process in the Steam console, but it appears to be committed to printing only uninformative messages.)
