Did you log out and then log back in after adding yourself to the games group? |

Can you play other games whose binaries belong to the games group? |

for some reason the game folders in my fs belong to group id 20 and not to games.
this group does not exist. i did chown -R root:games the problematic folders now everything works fine. no idea how this could happen. _________________
