Summary: Steam startup slow on Wine Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
On my nice fast laptop with a 15 Mbit/sec internet connection and wine from git, it takes 20-30 seconds from the time the "Connecting Steam Account: Foo" appears to the time it gains a cancel button. This is about two or three times longer than on Windows 7 on the same hardware. The extra time makes starting Steam much more annoying.
