Bug ID: 50134 Summary: Steam terminates/crashes in clean prefix. Product: Wine Version: 5.21 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: ionic@ionic.de Distribution: Gentoo
Created attachment 68625 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=68625 Terminal output for Steam.exe, wine 5.21.
I was hit by #50072, so decided to install Steam into a clean wine prefix with wine 5.21 to test this in a more reproducible environment.
For convenience, I installed steam using "winetricks --no-isolate steam" into a non-existing prefix, thus creating it.
The installer worked fine, but the subsequent self-update mechanism of Steam had to be started multiple times to finish.
Afterwards, I started Steam with the "-no-cef-sandbox" parameter (not sure if it still has any effect nowadays) and *disabled* the accelerated web content rendering, then restarted Steam.
Upon restart, even though no applications were installed and there's no visual indication of a download, the library window can be seen briefly, but shortly after, Steam just closes or crashes.
The same behavior can be seen when using wine 5.17. I explicitly tested with this version to rule out any issues caused by some big core changes to DLL loading in 5.18.
Just to make sure, I used the "corefonts" verb to pull in fonts needed by Chromium, but that likewise didn't change the outcome.
