Steam games can not load filesystem.dll

CrashTestDummy · Post by **CrashTestDummy** » Sun Sep 20, 2009 1:20 pm

Got this problem lately: when I try to start a Steam game, like HL2, CS:Source, Portal - anything - it wouldn't start and I get this message: "Could not load filesystem.dll. Filesystem crashed during construction", or, alternatively, "Unable to load: C:\Program FIles\Steam\steamapps\#my_profile_name#\counter-strike source\bin\filesystem_steam.dll"

I've learned that this problem is known to native Windows and is usually fixed by deleting Steamclient.dll or simply reinstalling Steam altogether, but it didn't work for me.

Any ideas about how to make it right? I've tried searching WineHQ but come out with nothing.

System info: Wine 1.1.28, OpenSUSE 11.2 M7 32-bit.

Help would be highly appreciated!

Upgrade to 1.1.29 and try again.

Your Steam install is damaged / you running this off of file system that doesn't support everything Wine requires / your Wine is broken.

First get the latest (wine-1.1.29) Wine version. If the problem persists, reinstall Steam (see AppDB page). If that doesn't work - report bug to SuSE and downgrade to stable version. 11.2 is still in alpha.
