Wine: Steam fails after 'Connecting Steam account: <account>'

(Great first post no? )

I've been crawling through WineHQ and the Archlinux forums for the last few days examining similar issues, but so far non of the solutions in them have worked out for me.
So the problem is as follows: Steam starts, the connecting to account window pops up, runs for a while and when it should close then start the main Steam window it just silently quits.
I'm fairly new to Arch and linux in general, I made sure I read the manuals and guides before jumping in, so I'm either missing something crazy simple or its totally over my head.
I've double checked that I have the ttf-win7-fonts, gecko, tahoma (winetricks) and corefonts (winetricks) installed.
The output that Wine gives me when running Steam is: http://pastebin.com/XxgEad4K

I'm not sure if its relevant, but I'm using the xf86-video-ati drives for an ATI HD5570 (Redwood) card and direct rendering does work. Steam does consistently crash at 26% when updating, but resumes at 27-28% when restarted.

Does anyone know where I'm going wrong?
