Thanks, it's probably because I installed steam by using winetricks. As you can see in my layout: lieven@cthulhu ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files $ pwd /home/lieven/.wine/drive_c/Program Files lieven@cthulhu ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files $ ll total 16K drwxr-xr-x 4 lieven lieven 4.0K Oct 20 15:34 . drwxr-xr-x 6 lieven lieven 4.0K Oct 20 15:34 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 lieven lieven 4.0K Oct 20 15:34 Common Files drwxr-xr-x 2 lieven lieven 4.0K Oct 20 15:34 Internet Explorer And I do have a ~/.local directory which holds the files. lieven@cthulhu ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam $ pwd /home/lieven/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam All steam files are in this directory. My main problem is that the game "Rage" crashes at boot time with the known error: "Failed to create XAudio2 engine" As I can see on the productpage for "Rage on Steam" The solution being to install "winetricks xact_jun2010" which I did but it did not work. Next, I tried to install the complete directx jun2010 release but that failed Now, I want to reinstall the game in a new wineprefix but don't want to redownload the 20GB from the game. I'll try to copy the data, reinstall steam in a regular way in new wineprefix and copy gamedata back and hope it works. kind regards, Lieven
