Summary: Steam crashes on the first start Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: Other URL: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1554 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: regression, download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-kernel AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: vitaliy@kievinfo.com CC: rob@codeweavers.com
