Steam

[tom92]

Hello, I've just joined here as i'm having trouble getting the steam store to load and getting games to download.
When i i load steam, the store doesn't load, but i can access my games library.
When i try to download any game from steam i get the message "content servers unreachable"
And the the games stays in the Que but never downloads and when u try to make it download it doesn't.

Can anyone help me fix this please?
I'd really appreciate it if someone can tell me how to fix this.
I'm running an Ubuntu based distro.

Than you for your time.

I've updated the WineHQ AppDB: Steam / Official Release webpage.

I submitted a pull-request for winetricks, so the steam verb now does the winxp overrides for the main Steam executables automatically.
The latest Git master of winetricks has this support.

Currently you need to use Wine Staging (I think any version since 2.12 - but obviously only 3.x is supported now) - just to install Steam games.

Steam needs a command line switch to disable CEF sandboxing (even when running in Windows XP mode):

Code: Select all

wine Steam.exe -no-cef-sandbox

Valve are threatening to disable Windows XP support, for the Steam Client, in early 2019...
This is going to cause Wine users a heap-load of issues...
