--- Comment #8 from Berillions berillions@gmail.com 2012-10-03 13:56:09 CDT --- I have the same problem than you, actually i can't install a new game (No connection, server too busy etc...)
But the patch is not the cause because : 1- I have the problem when i launch Steam in clean wine source compiled (without patch) 2- Same problem with wine source compiled with the patch 3- Same problem when i launch Steam on Windows Seven ;)
It's a Steam problem.
