encountered error when launching a game on linux,
might have got an extra slash there and /dosdevices didn't exist for me,
what worked for me was just to add another makedirs:
existing code
if not file_exists(self.prefix_dir + "/dosdevices/c:", follow_symlinks=False):
os.symlink("../drive_c", self.prefix_dir + "/dosdevices/c:")
if not file_exists(self.prefix_dir + "/dosdevices/z:", follow_symlinks=False):
os.symlink("/", self.prefix_dir + "/dosdevices/z:")
new code
if not file_exists(self.prefix_dir + "dosdevices/c:", follow_symlinks=False):
makedirs(self.prefix_dir + "dosdevices")
os.symlink("../drive_c", self.prefix_dir + "dosdevices/c:")
if not file_exists(self.prefix_dir + "dosdevices/z:", follow_symlinks=False):
makedirs(self.prefix_dir + "dosdevices")
os.symlink("/", self.prefix_dir + "dosdevices/z:")
