You are more than welcome to create your own engine, cross platform installers, and games. Also, since you know how to get around the bug, yet you still complain about it, I think it is you who is stupid. 2 Cents.

Any path, other than . or . equivalent (fully qualified path), relative to the steam binary, seems to send CPU to 100% and steam does nothing. This is almost certainly a stupid coder bug in Steam. It won't install anywhere but the steam current working directory relative to the steam binary. FYI, yes I have deleted ~/Steam and ~/.steam and tried again. ics wrote: > Why don't you specify a path, other than . or ./blabla?
