Invisible Steam Text

[kami]

How do I fix this guys? I have read it and i dont know how to disable it. Maybe some screenshots on the steps?

Best if someone could update their steam with the dwrite.dll disabled on to rapidshare or.

1. Open winecfg.
2. Go to the Libraries tab.
3. Select dwrite from the dropdown list in the New overrides for library field.
4. Click Add.
5. With dwrite selected in the Existing overrides box, click Edit.
6. Select Disable and click Okay in that dialog.
7. Click they Okay button at the bottom of the Libraries tab.

Wine version? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade.

Did you install corefonts with winetricks? If not, try that.

Post terminal output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

im on wineskin version 1.1.9 or whatever the newest one. Im not sure my gecko downloaded properly. So i checked to see if i can manually download it, but when i see it theres like 1.1.9 beta and 1.1.9 and when i click on it theres a bunch of files and im not sure to download them all or to not.

Wineskin is not supported here; this forum is for plain Wine only. Current versions of Wineskin should have a way to run plain Wine from a terminal.

I had the same issue, new install of Fedora 17, new install of Wine from Fedora repositories, installed Steam and no text. I tried downloading the Tahoma Fonts, but that didn't work either. I followed Dimesio's steps and it worked perfectly. Thanks Dimesio.

Steam currently needs to be run with the "-no-dwrite" option

Code: Select all

wine "c:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -no-dwrite
