Launching it through wine instead of opening it as normal works, but there is a
lot of flickering while switching tabs in the Steam client.

What does this mean? How are you running Steam? What workarounds have you used,
if any?

Screenshots of missing text for wine fixed by wine-staging and minor bugs
afterwards

Confirming missing text for wine-11.10-83f7493618d:
Steam Client Windows build 1780352834 (built 2026-06-01)


Fixed by latest wine-staging-v11.10-d1526eaf.  Backtrace errors for installer
were ignored (shown in screenshots) and cause no obvious issues.

Proton heavily depends on wine-staging so it's probably best to run Steam
aligned with that community's methods.


Unclear which staging patches fix but Steam seems to choose dcomp for rendering
similar to Battle.net since staging recently added support:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59631


Severe flicker happens after staging fixes missing text mostly caused by this
log:

01c4:fixme:dcomp:device_QueryInterface {0987cb06-f916-48bf-8d35-ce7641781bd9}
not implemented, returning E_NOINTERFACE.

Adding IID_IDCompositionDevice3 support to device_QueryInterface() for staging
fixes log and flicker:

     else if ((device->version >= 2
               && (IsEqualGUID(iid, &IID_IDCompositionDevice2)
+                  || IsEqualGUID(iid, &IID_IDCompositionDevice3)

               || IsEqualGUID(iid, &IID_IDCompositionDeviceUnknown))

After this patch, splash screen and system tray icon menu appear as blackscreen
but everything else seems functional.  System tray icon menu resolves
blackscreen as soon as mouse hovers over items and is otherwise fully
functional.


@leslie_alistair, this patch has been pushed to wine-staging branch:

https://gitlab.winehq.org/stianlow/wine-staging/-/tree/dcomp-Support-IID_IDC...

I tried to to submit a merge request with a link to this bug but don't have
permission.  Please let me know if I submit a request for permission.
