Steam installation failing

Hi,

I just tried the wiki on Steam. It failed here on x86_64.

When running:

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/Steam.exe

Steam does not lauch and I get this:

$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/Ste

Nothing happens.

(By the way I already installed lib32-alsa-plugins which is not mentionned by the wiki)

Re: Steam installation failing

I found that I needed to install multilib/lib32-mpg123 x86_64 which made me see the the login window of Steam but without any text.

In order to get the text I had to add option -no-dwrite to the wine command which turns out to be:

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/Steam.exe -no-dwrite

Anyone can confirm that? I think wiki may/could/should be improve. I did this install on a fresh install.

Re: Steam installation failing

The -no-dwrite has been necessary for some time. If you're runnning on x86_64 then I'd also recommend adding

WINEARCH='win32'

as it fixes a lot issues as well.
