 The first suggestion would still mean that the user would be likely to get
 the crash until they set it themselves as "Steam version" (somehow, which
 I am also not sure we support currently).
 The second (which I also don't think we support currently, ie. detection
 considering the folder) would be an automated solution, but it would
 assume that future Steam builds for the .exe (how likely are those?) won't
 fix the missing resources issue...

 We could check for the md5 hash of the game.exe file (which would be
 similar to checking the version info, but... safer I guess?) but we can't
 guarantee that the game folder with have the game.exe file always, and the
 engine does run without it, so I am not sure how this would complicate the
 game detection code (currently stark engine's detection does not consider
 the game.exe file at all).
