Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Launching games from a Non-Linux filesystem (E.g. NTFS) Doesn't work or throw an error, it just does nothing.
There should be some kind of error popup notifying the user that steam could not launch the game because it couldn't access/handle/use the filesystem provided.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install a game to a non-linux filesystem (E.g NTFS)
  2. Try to launch it
