Invisible Steam Text

Post by 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.

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

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

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
Read the AppDB pages and submit problems there as well for specific applications. They normally have fixes and instructions for bugs listed there first.
