issue report: Games (Dustforce & Rochard) won't install

[Sars[FUG²]]

When I try to install Dustforce or Rochard they go through the regular dialogue boxes but they don't end up downloading. When I go to play the games I get an error box that says "failed to start game (missing executable). I have restarted Steam and the problem persists.

From my understanding, it's better to wait for games to be available in the store under Linux before you try to install them. Many games are first shown available in the library but are missing executables, until days or weeks later. This was the case with FTL when it first showed up.

I'm not sure why it's like that right now, it's obviously not a good thing, but I would guess that these games are probably running a private beta to see if everything is working right before they are available to everyone.

but these games are under the tab for games I can install in Linux. They are listed right in my library

[Pluffy]

It's a known issue. We all see this. I have Rochard and Dustforce in my library as well.

[Bustaman]

Happens with me as well. Have 38 listed games but only few actually download/execute. :)

Same :(

[flame.leaf [Linux]]

I have several games in my library that have the same issue. If you take a look at the game's propreties, there's beta builds going on. The reason they show up in our libraries is likely because they're in a closed beta or alpha regarding the Linux version (so the devs can access it via steam). They'll work eventually, give it some time.

Same. The game does not install. I bougth Rochard from Indie Bundle and I redeem my steam key. When trying to install the game, the dialog is not as it should be. It doesn't display the game size neither the available space on disk. It only shows the combobox with the options to where install the game.
