--- Comment #10 from Christian Widmer shadow@umbrox.de 2012-09-04 19:09:38 CDT --- At least the steam installation problem seems to be something else because it has just happened again and only spawns the timeout message[1] after having failed. Furthermore it is indeed not in wined3d. That one is probably related to steam itself (maybe an update or something the like).
