--- Comment #7 from Jonas Jelten jonas.jelten@gmail.com 2012-10-03 13:43:04 CDT --- Created attachment 41957 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=41957 debug=all log of wine SteamService.exe /runAsService, including patch id=41943 by Christian Costa
with this patch, i now get the message "The Steam servers are too busy to handle your request for Portal 2. Error Code (55)"
In both XP and 7 modes, before applying it, this came up in XP mode only, in 7&Vista Steam wanted to install SteamService => Still unable to launch Portal 2
Error 55 may be described here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9851-PFHN-9932
If I launch SteamService.exe /runAsService manally, this doesn't help, also produces error 55.
SteamService.exe quits after 10s with status 0, winedebug=all may contain the reason.
I attached the output, and inserted newlines where the program stays for 10s (and had to compress the file as it was too large for the upload).
strace reveals some "process_vm_ready: Bad address", which may be the cause.
I'm pretty sure that the launching problems of many games are caused by SteamService.exe failures.
