wine users - Aug 2008 - Bold I know... problem with Steam in darwine

Ya ya i know a little over the top..
I got the program to install and run surprisingly smooth actually, the only
issue I have is when it comes time to install the games using the steam client.

Under the my games section when i select a game and click install the program
crashes.

This is what I am getting in the log.


-------------------

err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not
registered

---------------------

anyway any help is appreciated... in case it helps
I am using mac OSX 10.4
I am using Mac's version of X11

well i managed to get steam to run even smoother.

I even got scroll bars to come up in the steam window, which has been a major
issue with most wine builds running steam.

The trick was to disable OpenGL now the only problem is again the same issue.
Wont install the games.

Im getting this in my log.

-------------
err:d3d:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat
err:d3d:InitAdapters Failed to get a gl context for default adapter
err:wine_d3d:WineDirect3DCreate Direct3D9 is not available without opengl
-------------

any ideas?

Hi. Well the second error is obviously because of disabling opengl. What wine
build are you using? how did you install it? (yum, aptitude, apt, self-compile?)

I use steam with my built version (directly from GIT) of wine and it works
pefectly with steam. ALso using a native riched and the other requested
dll's with winetricks worked pefect, heck, I installed all my games from
steam, but I'm on Linux and I'm really not into MacOSX.

But I think that error is related to gfx stuff as I had similiar stuff with a
game before.

Try steam with native COM with winetricks (MSDOM) but I don't think
it'll work as steam tends to crash using it, still it is a good try and it
would throw ole errors away (i think).

By the way, can you chat in steam? It's the only thing I can not always do.

Disable steam-community-ingame.

The scrollbars issue is odd and I think probably indicates a gfx problem (but
are you talking about steam-like bars or theme-like bars?)
