Can't open Steam through WINE

JeffDaniel · 2017-07-11 07:08:04

I've tried the method on the WineHQ database, PlayOnLinux, winetricks, and now just tried installing via regular Wine. I'm obviously doing something wrong.

Every time I try to install Steam, there's always the same error. It installs, I just can't open it at all. Not even to the login screen. It installs just fine, and shows the "Updating Steam" screen. But after it updates, it just fails.

Here's the error log.

After that, nothing. I can't open it again, or else that message will show. I've even syslinked from my existing Windows install on another hard drive and still get the same message. I'm running wine-2.11.

I've got the same issue. Steam worked fine yesterday. Today it just updated, then crashed.

$ wine steam

Same problem here, Problem persists across all tested Wine versions from 1.9.24 (via PoL) up to 2.12.
Problem exists in x86 wine as well as in amd64.

Related upstream bug report: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43315
Staging patch: https://dev.wine-staging.com/patches/144/

wine-staging users should expect an updated package today to fix the issue. Users of other variants may need to compile his own wine with this patch applied.

The bug report above reports that wine 2.12 fixes the issue, but I'm getting the following error:

fixme:ver:GetCurrentPackageId (0x32e440 (nil)): stub

wine --version
wine-2.12 (Staging)

Have you tried using Wine-staging branch of Wine, it might work for you but be aware that Steam is available in the repository natively without wine.

@PrimeArgon Like me, he probably wants to play a windows only game on wine, like Fortress Forever or a Steam copy of GTA:SA, for example.

Same problem here.

solved to replace wine by wine-staging

Pacman -S wine-staging and use wine version system on POL solve my pb.

for me :
2-12 and 2-12staging Pol version don't works

PS : I use one 64 bits wine prefix
