Issues in a single application are severity 'normal'. Read more about severity levels descriptions there: https://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs#severity
Ehmm... I had read but I thought steamwebhelper AND lcgol counted as TWO applications not as a single application... :?
Did you try those workarounds? If not then please try each at a time and report if it changes anything.
It would seem that the first workaround avoids the steamwebhelper crash but it gives me the impression that the process don't respond (while lcgol still doesn't work).
Second workaround has no effect for both apps.
However I don't think this problem is a duplicate of the ones you mentioned because it did not exist before mid-November, even without workaround, while that bug has been open in 2012.
In other words until about mid-November the situation was:
- steamwebhelper worked fine in a completely clean prefix (meaning without installing anything that steam didn't install automatically) having bugs 45121. - lcgol worked fine in a completely clean prefix (meaning without installing anything that steam didn't install automatically) having bugs 46155 and 50332.
Since about mid-November the situation is:
- steamwebhelper and lcgol crashes in a completely clean prefix (meaning without installing anything that steam didn't install automatically). - steamwebhelper doesn't crash in a clean prefix using 'winetricks corefonts' but it seems do not have bug 45121 (or it's frozen and does not spend cpu time).
Of course I've excluded a regression trying several versions of wine including those where the problem did not exist and, since the problem is reproducible in a live older than mid-November, I thought that the cause must be an update by steam (of course I can't be completely sure because steam can't be downgraded).
