<term>Game X fails to start</term>
<listitem><para>Games may fail to start because they lack
dependencies (this should be added to the script, for now),
or because they cannot be patched.The steps to launch a game
directly are:
<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>Add a file named <filename>steam_appid.txt</filename> in
the binary folder, with the appid as contents (it can be found in the
stdout from steam).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH from the nix/store steam script,
with some additions, launch the game binary:
<programlisting>LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.steam/bin32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/nix/store/pfsa... blabla ...curl-7.29.0/lib:. ./Osmos.bin3
</programlisting> (if you could not patchelf the game, call ld.so directly
with the binary as param). With this technique, I can play many games
directly from steam. Others, like Team Fortress, cannot be patched
so I only managed to run them from the cmd line.
