How to configure Steam after latest content server bug

Post by zebesian »

Thanks to anyone reading this. I think I'm just missing a step or two here...

I'm new to Wine and trying to get Steam working on MacOS 10.13 using Wine 3.12 (the latest Staging version).

I'm able to successfully install and run Steam, but I am unable to reach the Valve content servers to download games (a bug noted on the database... also see report here. The fact that I am using the latest version of Wine Staging, however, should have accounted for this).

The big problem seems to be with `steamwebhelper.exe`. I tried making a new wineprefix and set it to use Windows XP. This stopped me from getting the pop-up error message from `steamwebhelper.exe`, but I still couldn't reach the Steam content servers. I can't figure out what I'm supposed to set to make this work—I figure it's probably a matter of running Wine with a certain parameter. Has anyone done this successfully?

Any help would be very appreciated. I'm happy to post logs, but am not sure how to distill them/what would be useful.
