Fixing Broken Sword 5 (Steam) on Linux
posted on 2017-09-18
Being a patient gamer means
I play, at least in most cases, games that are few years old. Latest
adventure game I started playing is
Broken
Sword 5 but unfortunately it doesn’t launch right after installing it
through Steam on Linux. Reading through Steam’s logs it indicated that
game lacked an steam_appid.txt
file with it’s Steam appid in game’s
root directory. To correct this error I just had to create the file:
cd ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Broken\ Sword\ 5 echo "262940" > steam_appid.txt
