I am trying to play War Thunder through Steam on my ubuntu 14.04, but I can't launch it through Steam. When directly launching by clicking the 'launcher' file in the local folders works just fine. Any solutions for this? I signed into Steam while playing this awesome game. Thanks in advance.

Best Answer
As with almost any problem in Steam, the first solution to try is to validate the game files.
Right-click War Thunder in your Steam Library, then select Properties.
In the LOCAL FILES tab, select VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE.
This will take a few minutes to run through and check your files.
If that doesn't work, another common problem with War Thunder is that antivirus software might be blocking the file aces.exe from launching. Make sure that file is in your antivirus whitelist!
