network problem of sorts
network problem of sorts
I'm using linux mint 17.3 and I'm not sure what update did it, as I didn't change anything myself but I noticed something that has to do with Wine's networking abilities is no longer working for me but I'm not sure what it could possibly be that is a problem across multiple programs. I go into Steam and though I can log on and use my friends list or even receive downloads and chat I can't use any of the web pages inside the program like "store, profile page, community, ect-", I recently bought another game that tried to register itself and it couldn't because of a communication error that happened, and finally yesterday I tried installing Dungeon Fighter Online and all went well until I got a message from the the update window with the web page in it that I had to log in before playing and couldn't go on but the strange thing with that was that the page below actually showed up and I was able to so something was just not communicating. Sorry if I can't be more technical here but it's not like I'm even getting any other system error messages, something with Wine's networking aspects is just not working as far as I can tell.

Symptoms sound like either https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39403 or https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37110.

I keep that up-to-date with the latest Steam breakages - as soon as they are reported!
Make sure you have a supported version of Wine (i.e. ≥1.8).
Make sure you launch the Steam client with:
Code: Select all
cd "${WINEPREFIX:-${HOME}/.wine}/drive_c/Program Files/Steam"
wine Steam.exe -no-cef-sandboxThe next worrying thing to watch out for is the "Chromium Embedded Framework" (CEF) is expected to switch to forced sandboxing v. soon (followed shortly by the Steam client - which is built directly on top of this framework)... Then there won't be a workaround for this issue at all...
