 game data somewhere else to use it with native executables.
 Winetricks ( http://winetricks.org/ ) makes installing Windows Steam on Linux really easy.
 
+If using the Linux version of Steam, you can open the console (launch steam with -console or try steam://open/console in a web browser) and enter the following:
+	download_depot 208200 208202
+This will download the base game files to a path similar to (the path cannot be configured):
+	~/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steamapps/content/app_208200/depot_208202/
+Steam will not provide feedback on the download progress so you will have to watch the folder.
+You will also have to run download_depot for your language:
+	download_depot 208200 <language depot>
+	Where <language depot> is:
+		English: 208203
+		German: 208204
+		French: 208205
+		Italian: 208206
+		Spanish: 208207
+		Japanese: 208208
+Combining the contents of both depots will provide the necessary game files for the engine.

 Anyway:
 
 1. Install Doom 3 BFG in Steam (Windows version), make sure it's getting
