Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When running Dota on a multiuser system, if another user has run it at least once, other users aren't able to run Dota with the error: "Only one instance of the game can be running at one time". Dota is closed and not running on all other accounts.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Login with user1 and open Steam and launch Dota
2. Exit dota2
3. Logoff/Switch user to user2
4. Open steam and try to launch Dota

The issue is fixed by deleting /tmp/sourceengine*.lock file(s).

I have the same trouble. Lock files should be removed after program that was created them has been closed. Please fix this.

[Turmfalke2]

lock files should be per user.
