wine users - Jan 2011 - Since update of January 15th Left 4 Dead 2 (steam) crashes

Hi all.
I was using wine 1.3.10 to run Steam and Left 4 Dead2 successfully until
recently.  Last week, there was an update for Steam, and now I can't start
Left 4 Dead 2.  It starts up, but then immediately crashes. The window
"Preparing to launch Left 4 Dead 2" pops up, and then disappears.  It
worked flawlessly last Sunday, and yesterday it stopped working.

I am getting the same console output as Nick.  See latest (Jan 15th) comment
here
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=18408&iTestingId=46620).

My output for starting Steam, and then try and start Left 4 Dead 2:

I tried Wine versions 1.3.7 and 1.3.11, all with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just tried it with git checkout (wine --version reports:
wine-1.3.11-211-gbaeb0d9)with same results.

Reinstall your video drivers. Make sure that in-game community is disabled as
well as GameOverlayRenderer.dll (via winecfg libraries tab).
