Steam Blank Store

Post by tr0jance »

Hello I installed steam via wine tricks on my Lubuntu 16.10, and I don't have the store option it's just blank, all I can access is the library option, the rest will just load and nothing happens, I have Wine Staging 2.3. Thanks for all your help.

Hiya ,

Checkout Steam issues on the AppDB page: Steam Official Release ... Which I help maintain.

You currently need to launch the Steam Client, when run on Wine, with CEF sandboxing disabled:

Code: Select all

wine Steam.exe -no-cef-sandbox
Otherwise no web content will render in the client. This fix has been necessary since October 2015...

I'd generally recommend to use the latest version of Wine or Wine Staging (currently version 3.9).
Wine 2.12 was released nearly a year ago (10 months to be precise).

Also the flag (corrected) is:

Code: Select all

wine Steam.exe -no-cef-sandbox
Note the hyphen / dash ( - ) at the front of the parameter...
