Can't launch steam

[deliverydud]

Every time I try to launch steam, I get this in the terminal

fixme:ver:GetCurrentPackageId (0x33e470 (nil)): stub
ILocalize::AddFile() failed to load file "public/steambootstrapper_english.txt".
fixme:winsock:WSAIoctl SIO_GET_EXTENSION_FUNCTION_POINTER: unimplemented DisconnectEx
net.cpp (263) : Fatal Assertion Failed: PlatformSocketsInit failed, error [no name available] (10045)
net.cpp (263) : Fatal assert failed: net.cpp, line 263. Application exiting.

_ExitOnFatalAssert

(Note: I'm running Linux mint Cinnamon 64-bit)
Any suggestions?

What version of wine are you running? Did you make a fresh install of steam into a clean WINEPREFIX?

See: WineHQ AppDB: Steam / Official Release.
Specifically the Installation and Steam Client Build Issues sections.

I try and keep this AppDB page reasonably up-to-date with any new Steam build issues that appear - following a client update...
