Steam

[Mr_Grieves]

The freezing/halting bug affects (as far as I know) <0.9.3 and 0.9.5.

Wine 0.9.4 and Steam causes a crash to desktop, but this is patchable, read more here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4128

I wonder if any users of other software than Wine are having the freezing issues with Steam?

To replicate the bug you just need to start Steam, not any game. After a minute or so Steam with freeze and become 100% unusable, then the freeze will release.. and so on.

I'm getting the same problem and it looks exactly like this



I know about the fonts but how can i transfer them over to my damn fonts thingy?

[Mr_Grieves]

Download the font, then:

cp tahoma.ttf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/

i got a prob with steam too.
i tried it with cedega, i installed several games, but when i run the game i get an steam error which tells me "steam validation rejected" .
my key is 100% valid and no one else is using it.

Download the font, then:

damo@OMG:~$ cp tahoma.ttf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/
cp: cannot stat `tahoma.ttf': No such file or directory

Are you able to login? What happens if you run "Validate Steam/Game Cache" (right click on a game).

damo@OMG:~$ cp tahoma.ttf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/
cp: cannot stat `tahoma.ttf': No such file or directory

Have you downloaded the font??? That command requires that you are in the same directory as the downloaded font.

Where do i get the font from? BESIDES WINDOWS.

Want me to click for you? -Sarcasm-

Or perhaps a friend of yours can send it to you? Via e-mail? IRC? Etc.

strange thing, now i cant even run steam well. it locks up short after login.
i hate steam :/

I haven't tried STEAM lately, but it was doing this lock up thing for me on Cedega as well. I can only imagine its harder for someone using just wine to fix it. On the Transgaming forums they were talking about it being a problem with a recent update of STEAM that broke third party projects like Cedega. Some people get the problem and others don't. I had it for a while, then it went away. I would suggest trying at another time, as it might be something to do with some announcement that STEAM is trying to load up at login (thats my untested theory anyway),
