No text at steam login

Post by hokuspokus »

Hello all

My english is poor.

I have Linuxmint and wine 1.7.18 installed and want to play some windows games. There are some text issues with steam and wine, no text visible. if I launch steam by myself I can solve the proble by adding the option "-no-dwrite" after steam.exe. tha`s solve the problem . But that solves the problem only if I launch the steam client by myself.
I have some dvd games which installs by typing "wine setup.exe" . while installing, the steam login appears without text visible .
There is no way to add -no-dwrite option when I launch "wine setup.exe"
I hope someone understands me

i have also used winecfg , removed dwrite .
it didn`t change anything.

thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by "removed." What you need to do is disable it.

That should have taken care of the problem. But are you sure you actually disabled it? There is a longstanding bug where pressing Enter on the Libraries tab simply closes winecfg without saving any changes. So recheck the Libraries tab and make sure dwrite.dll is listed and marked Disable.

I have found a solution for this problem .
This works:
wine reg add 'HKCU\Software\Valve\Steam' /v DWriteEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000

that solves the whole textproblem with wine and steam for me.
