A posssible work-around that works for me:
First off, my system specs:
Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit Wine 1.0RC3 AMD Athlon XP 2.2GHz 2GB DDR1 RAM (Dual Channel) Nvidia Geforce 6800n 120GB WD IDE HDD (100 for vista, 20 for linux for now)
My work-around:
This was a sort of response to that thread where the guy had his friend change their status and it worked for him... That did not work for me, but I found the idea of status changes to be interesting.
What I do, and it's worked 4 or 5 times without fail (at least for one open chat window) is to first type something... Then go to your Friends window and change your own status. I simply went through the list, changing my status all the way through offline, then back online then through again. Once I did that, chat started refreshing correctly and working great.
This is a hassle, but it works for me.
I believe this is something that the Wine devs need to take seriously. Friends IS one of the most important parts of Steam now.
yep works for me, too the other solution (open steam friends, closing steam friends, opening again) doesn't work for me. Thanks for that :)
Not a problem :)
Josh, you need to remember that what works for you may not work for others. I did in fact try your open/close suggestion and that did not work and I just built off of what others tried. This is the only way I can get it to work.
I'm glad my suggestion was able to help another.
