Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

During the installation process, some games ask for confirmation to install additional software. These windows do not appear on SteamOS, resulting in an endless download. Exiting this process is possible only with a button reset.
Examples of games: GTA 4, Sleeping Dogs, L.A. Noire

Delete the installscript.vdf file from the game directory. The game Sleeping dogs works fine in SteamOS in full-screen mode without borders and without the "white window" effect.
