I just switched to Ubuntu full time, and I'm trying to get my windows Steam games running through wine. I'm having an issue getting steam to function, however.
I installed steam through Wine directly, without using winetricks or playonlinux because I was having this issue with those two clients and figured I'd try it without.
Steam loads after the installation, and it allows me to log in, but when I get into the service I have a number of issues. First of all, it immediately kicks me into offline mode.
Next, when I switch it back to online mode and attempt to download any games, I get the error:
Code: Select all
Failed to install gameName (content servers unreachable)
I have attempted installing the windows fonts and disabling sandboxing through -no-cef-sandboxing when I execute the command
Code: Select all
wine ./Steam.exe -no-cef-sandboxing
Neither has fixed the issue.
My connection is just fine outside of the wine virtual drive, and the linux version of steam runs as intended.
In my search on this site, I've seen that the store not working properly is a common issue, but I can't find any mention of an inability to install games.
