Paste of errors in terminal window

I used to be able to run the game Deus-Ex from Steam. That was on 1.0.1 (Debian
testing distribution). I upgraded to 1.2-rc2 and now when I launch the game
from Steam I get a series of errors in the terminal window from which I started
Steam (see attached).

winetricks steam says:
    warn "Before running Steam, make sure you have corefonts installed, or it
may crash; see wine bug 22751"
    warn "Once Steam is running, disable player notifications and in-game chat
in Settings, or games will crash on launch; see wine bug 22053"

Do those help?

@Dmitry
I would love to do that. However I cannot get wine 1.0.1 to compile. That is
the version I was able to successfully run the game under, but that was from
Debian packages. I'm trying to recompile 1.0.1 from source to make sure that
the game crashing under 1.2rc2 isn't a byproduct of the options I passed to the
configure script. I've downloaded the debian wine source package and copied
their configure script invocation (adding --skip-tests, per the
RegressionTesting tip).

Attached is a copy of the error I get while building and my config.log. This is
on Debian/testing. I have libfreetyp6-dev installed (version 2.3.11). Any idea
what this error means? Google didn't turn up much. The FT_MulFix declaration in
freetype.h is inside a #ifdef but I can't tell how the pre-processor is
evaluating the #ifdef condition.

You need to cherry-pick commit de251e1c62651d8160b340a4fb9d0f9834a8e538 as is
done in the Debian testing package.

Thank you for the pointer! That did solve my compilation problem. However now
that I've compiled 1.0.1 (at commit de251e1c62651d8160b340a4fb9d0f9834a8e538),
using the Debian configure options, my installation exhibits the same
misbehavior I witnessed when I compiled 1.2rc2 myself. So I guess the problem
is not with the code, but with my build of it.

I am using gcc (Debian 4.4.2-9) 4.4.3 20100108 (prerelease), ld
2.20.1-system.20100303.

Did you try the tips in comment #1 ?

Also, try installing an older gcc and building wine with that
(e.g. by putting it on PATH before /usr/bin), just to see if
it's the compiler.

Just found this bug. Deus Ex from Steam works great for me with wine 1.2 and
all its RCs, both the Debian unstable and the locally compiled versions.

I found a workaround (this also works for another problematic Unreal Engine
game.......... Borderlands): use a crack from gamecopyworld.com
I find the 1.2 european crack works well, but then it's the only crack I've
tried.

Somewhat off topic, but I think something is just generally wrong with Epic and
their Unreal Engines. This game is using the Unreal Engine 2, Borderlands is
using Unreal Engine 3, and yet both exhibit similar issues. I wonder if with
further testing, we might if more Unreal Engine based games delivered on Steam
have issues on wine.
With that said though, I realize it's more likely that this particular bug with
launching the game through Steam is related to the form of copy protection
used.
