cannot buy games via steam

Post by ZombieRedShirt »

I'm having a problem with the last few versions of wine. When using steam to buy games, once a game has been added to the cart, clicking on "Purchase for myself" results in the next page not loading and cpu usage being maxed out while nothing happens. Bits of the next page may eventually load, but most of the elements will be missing, and the page appears to not be encrypted if the red x in the steam address bar is to be believed.

Lots of these lines being spammed.
[0816/000003:ERROR:proxy_resolver_winhttp.cc(97)] WinHttpGetProxyForUrl failed: 12178

Log attached from an attempted purchase.

More info. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, 12 gigs of ram, nvidia gtx260 video card with official drivers. I've also tried wine 1.5.8, 1.5.9 and 1.5.10. Same result

Turns out I had to compress the log before I could upload it. Here it is.

Buy it inside the browser. Works fine here.

Vitamin, while I will of course do that in the meantime, considering that I was at one time able to buy games via steam under wine and that I now cannot, this does qualify as a bug, does it not?

This is a forum not bugzilla. Here we trying to give you a solution to a problem. And if you just want to report a problem - file a bug.

That's the same problem for me. Buying games within Steam client on Wine worked before but with those mentioned releases of Wine it doesn't work at all or is very problematic.

I don't see a bug report in AppDB page of Steam regarding this issue.

Then do what Vitamin said and file a bug at bugs.winehq.org :D
