[Bug 40098] New: WSALookupServiceBegin return value is causing Steam, other applications to exit

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40098

Bug ID: 40098
           Summary: WSALookupServiceBegin return value is causing Steam,
                    other applications to exit
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: winsock
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

WSALookupServiceBegin (and possibly other, related functions) return
SOCKET_ERROR. A recent Steam update has brought this issue to my attention. It
would appear that Valve have either added functionality to steam that requires
WSALookupServiceBegin to function correctly, or, have made Steam exit when
WSALookupServiceBegin returns an error.

Having researched this, I have found other issues and forum posts around the
internet, some related to steam and dating back quite some time (2013 was the
earliest post I saw about this and steam). Non of these appeared to cite
failure due to this issue.

I will also submit this to the steam issue tracker, but I am posting this here
as this issue could be the responsibility of either party as far as I am
concerned.

Not major (see bug reporting guidelines).

Missing implementation of WSALookupServiceBegin is already tracked as bug
29231, so this would be a duplicate.

However, as far as I know, Steam is not an affected application. It works fine
here even with the stub.

Interesting.

What is your configuration? It would be interesting if this were a
configuration issue, and it would be very frustrating too.

I recall this issue becoming present when a parallel installation of
Wine-Staging existed on my machine, but there is only one wine installation
right now.

Closed INVALID because the issue was unrelated to ws2. I was led to believe
that it was related to ws2 by erroneous output on the part of Steam.

The actual problem was dwrite. It appears that a certain package (I am yet to
find out which) was causing Steam to crash when rendering text.
