--- Comment #5 from Matt mattcbro@earthlink.net --- Steam is definitely messed up for me. I'm on Linux Mint 16 64 bit. Steam will hang on authentication. The upgrade to wine 1.7.8 is supposed to fix it, but it does not.
It works for a little while and then something gets corrupted and the original problem resumes. The corruption is outside of steam and even the prefix, but is somewhere within linux.
First I have a clean 32 bit prefix and I have wine 1.7.8. $ wine --version wine-1.7.8
I start steam: $ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 WINEARCH=win32 wine "c:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe"
bunch of fixme's and then the first telltale error: [1216/034438:ERROR:resource_bundle.cc(417)] Failed to load C:\Program Files\Steam\bin\chrome.pak Some features may not be available.
Wasn't this supposed to be fixed with 1.7.8? Maybe not. Later there is this error: [1216/034438:ERROR:network_change_notifier_win.cc(126)] WSALookupServiceBegin failed with: 8
and these err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {77f10cf0-3db5-4966-b520-b7c54fd35ed6} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {77f10cf0-3db5-4966-b520-b7c54fd35ed6} could be created for context 0x1
there are a few more fixmes that go by and errors of the last type and it never finishes authenticating. It just hangs.
Unfortunately steam is a key reason to even be using wine and it simply doesn't work.
