When I start Endless Legend, the game tells me that audio could not be initialized. After digging through the logs, it looks like the following line from the diagnostic HTML is relevant:

Path '/Volumes/VAPOURS/SteamLibrary/SteamApps/common/Endless Legend/EndlessLegend.app/Contents/Public/Audio/' made relative to working directory '/Volumes/VAPOURS/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Endless Legend/', result: '../../SteamApps/common/Endless Legend/EndlessLegend.app/Contents/Public/Audio/'.

It looks like "SteamApps" in the working directory has been lowercased to "steamapps" somewhere and that's confusing the code that figures out the relative path. Specifically, "[...]/steamapps" is being treated as the base directory (hence the "../../" prefix on the relative path) but "SteamApps" is still being included. This means that the relative path actually resolves to "[...]/steamapps/SteamApps/[...]".



There is definitely a bug in the path construction here. "SteamApps" and "steamapps" should either be treated as equivalent (in which case the relative path becomes "./EndlessLegend.app/Contents/[...]") or different (in which case the relative path becomes "../../../SteamApps/common/[...]"). At the moment, they're being treated as equivalent in one part of the code and different in another.



Part of the trigger for this may be that I keep my Steam games on a separate FAT32 filesystem. HFS and FAT32 are both case-insensitive, but they probably have different ways of handling that.



As a workaround, I created a symlink ("ln -s . SteamApps" in the SteamApps directory) to make the incorrect relative path valid, and sound now works in my game.

Hello jerith, thank you for your report, I'm forwarding the file to the technical team!
