similar to: Wine and Steam

I am trying to track down a crash in Steam (Steam itself, not a game through it). In following appdb instructions for Steam I realized that it was installed in /home/tparker/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steam.exe and not in :~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files> where I had expected it, although that second directory does have a SteamInstall.msi sitting in it but

Hey guys, Can anyone help me close the gap between my POL and Wine setups? I currently have a laptop running PlayOnLinux 3.8.8 and a desktop running only Wine 1.3.9 (Fedora 14). As the subject read, the laptop with POL is running fine, but a generic install with the latest .msi file from the Steam website is not. Steam on Wine, was able to run it's own autoupdate, but after that refuses

Hi, i have a very crazy issue: Im connecting with a NX Client to a XFCE Desktop. There is Wine, some Fonts and the Gecko Engine installed. The Installation and Update of Steam was very good, but after the Update was finished, i only see a Ghost Window of Steam (even when i kill it and start it again): [Image: http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/5858/xfcesteamghost.png ] I also tried a reinstall

When I open it with WINE (without steam open) steam crashes as soon as it gets me logged in. anyone have a similar problem?

I follow the instruction at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19444 to install wine in order to play Steam. However `wine Steam.exe` throws Code: err:menubuilder:init_xdg error looking up the desktop directory fixme:process:GetLogicalProcessorInformation ((nil),0x32e49c): stub fixme:process:GetLogicalProcessorInformation (0x1dcfc00,0x32e49c): stub

Hi there, I was just wondering how I would go about creating a bash script for Steam apps. I just started college in Pre-Biochem. and Pre-Comp. Sci. so I'm not far enough in yet (and midterms are coming up, how embarrassing) but the point is, I don't know how to create a bash script for steam apps. I know they start up steam first, then log in, and then get into the game. I'm not

So after years of running a 'pure' Linux machine, I finally decided to install Wine so I could play some of my old games - and it's been a disaster. Using either Wine 1.5.3 or 1.3.3 trying to launch Half-Life Source results in nothing happening, trying to launch from the commandline gives this stack trace: Code: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address

I just installed steam+TMN and it seems to run quite well apart from sound. I tried switching to OSS and got not sound while on ALSA I get the occasional "click" and thats about it. Other software I have run through wine is WAR beta and WoW both of which play sound fine, so I suspect maybe Steam is holding up the sound device or something? I am on Ubuntu Hardy. I also used winetricks

This is very possibly an easy fix, as I've had steam running on this particular box before through wine. However, I've been googling my ass off and looking through the suggested fixes on the appdb to no avail. Let's start with my setup: OS: Slackware 13.37 (64 bit with working multilib) completely up to date Video: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT running the most recent linux 64 bit

What is the current status of Steam games in Wine? Some people claim same or better performance than Windows and other say its much worse. At least with TF2, the game goes from great performance with decent settings in Windows, to barely playable with all settings on low in Wine.

Hello, I've been having problems trying to run Steam games. The Steam itself takes up a lot of resources even when idle, for some reason, but the games run rather smoothly - in menu that is. Most of the games I have on steam are multiplayer games, and as the topic title suggests, I can't ever get to play them due to problems on connection. When playing Men of War, the game freezes on

I've just installed Empire: Total War without any hiccups (It is validated and runs through Steam). However, When I try to launch the game it just hangs with a window saying "Launching Empire: Total war" for ages without any apparent progress. I would post the terminal output but I do not know how to for games that run through steam. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks in

[Image: http://flare.xenmedia.org/uploads/Steamasd.png ] I get the following error, tried to google but found no working solution. Nothing has changed on my system. Steam worked fine when i tried it 1 week ago. I doubt the issue is Wine.

Yesterday I downloaded and installed the latest version of Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, and after setting up my hardware I installed Wine 1.1.12, and have been working on getting HL2 running, but with little/no success. I got Steam installed, but when it opens none of the HTML pages render (saying "HTML is currently disabled."), and when I go to the My Games tab to have it download any of the
