Steam Installation Errors

[MHardeman25]

Hey guys, I'm sure that this question has already been answered. If so, could someone direct me to the answer. The problem is that, steam.exe cannot access the Internet. My Internet service is fine, and I have not had any problems with steam accessing the Internet in the past. The problem only started a few days ago, and I am not sure what the cause is. I have tried basically everything. I visited Steams troubleshooting site, i manually bypassed the router to the modem and the problem persisted, so the problem isn't the router. I hard reset both the router and modem. I deleted the clientregistry.blob. I uninstalled wine and steam with apt-get remove --purge wine, and deleted the .wine folder in /home/ to remove settings and then added the wine repository and downloaded wine1.3 and reinstalled steam using sh winetricks steam. The problem persists, only now I can't even finish installation b/c it can't contact the servers. I get an error message "Steam.exe (main exception): To run Steam, you must first connect to the Internet." WHAT DO? Computer specs below.

I have the exact same problem and I've tried the same things as the OP have. The links above didn't give me any answer on how to solve this.

Kubuntu 10.04-64
Intel E6300
6 GB RAM
ATI HD4850-1GB
Wine 1.2 and 1.3.5
Also tried in POL 3.8.3

Can anyone please help me on this?
I hate having to log into Windows to be able to play my games.

Don't run as root. Remove your wineprefix and reinstall steam. Also make sure your distro provides wine_gecko (or you placed it in the right place).

[Wrelbyrd]

Never intended on running Wine as root.

Couldn't find any wineprefix, but I tried reinstalling Steam several times.

I've tried following all kinds of different guides, but I always get the same error.

Couldn't find any wineprefix

It's "~/.wine".

I've tried following all kinds of different guides, but I always get the same error.

Terminal output?

My Steam.exe install runs like a charm on my rig... I've got a few games running really well (and some 'on the go' with issues). Even managed to get 'World In Conflict' running the other evening. The Steam client can handle restoring backups and such...

Core i7 920 @4Ghz
Nvidia 8800 GTX 768Mb
6Gb DDR3 RAM

I am using the Nvidia blob driver 260.19.12 w/WINE 1.3.5.

Initially Steam used all/most of my CPU (impressive when it's a quad core CPU, clocked @4Ghz) this turned out to be caused by the Nvidia driver version I was using (from the Ubuntu repository). The latest Nvidia drivers sorted this problem out!

Remember to follow all the fix guides on the bottom of the AppDB Steam page - closely! I think it needs "winetricks IE6" as well.

WINEPREFIX is just a shell variable to allow you to use multiple "virtual" Windows installations (each installed on different paths). The main WINE program will read this variable (if it is set) and use it as the root of the Windows installation (otherwise it defaults to the standard ~/.wine/ directory).

Definitely don't d*** about with root or you'll end up with b'jorked paths for WINE... Time to remove and reinstall in this case...

You got any firewalls installed? That could be an obvious issue for network access...

Try running steam as administrator (right click function).

Or uninstall all reinstall steam (move your steamapps out and back after) delete the .blob files and start as administrator.

No!. DO NOT EVER run Wine as a root! http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_as_root
