So, steam doesn't seem to be working very well, (at least on my computer) with about the 10 latest wine versions. I'm running: Kubuntu 7.10 on an old, nvidia nforce2 amd athlon 2400+ nvidia fx5900xt with proper working drivers (glxgears gives me +5000fps) 512mb ram. Here's console output: alex@Burken:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam$ wine steam fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on MPU-401 UART, disabling mixer fixme:process:SetProcessShutdownParameters (00000100, 00000000): partial stub. dir: C:\Program Files\Steam\bin\ *.mix dir: C:\Program Files\Steam\bin\ *.asi dir: C:\Program Files\Steam\bin\ *.flt warning: Unknown nb_ctl request: 4 warning: Unknown nb_ctl request: 30 err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {4590f811-1d3a-11d0-891f-00aa004b2e24} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {4590f811-1d3a-11d0-891f-00aa004b2e24} could be created for context 0x1 Corrupt JPEG data: 57 extraneous bytes before marker 0xdb fixme:shdocvw:ViewObject_SetAdvise (0x1a6fb8)->(1 00000002 0x136ebc0) fixme:shdocvw:PersistStreamInit_InitNew (0x1a6fb8) fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_put_RegisterAsBrowser (0x1a6fb8)->(ffffffff) fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_put_RegisterAsDropTarget (0x1a6fb8)->(ffffffff) fixme:shdocvw:ViewObject_SetAdvise (0x1a7590)->(1 00000002 0x136ec28) fixme:shdocvw:PersistStreamInit_InitNew (0x1a7590) fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_put_RegisterAsBrowser (0x1a7590)->(ffffffff) fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_put_RegisterAsDropTarget (0x1a7590)->(ffffffff) fixme:shdocvw:ViewObject_SetAdvise (0x218708)->(1 00000002 0x13706b0) fixme:shdocvw:PersistStreamInit_InitNew (0x218708) fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_put_RegisterAsBrowser (0x218708)->(ffffffff) fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_put_RegisterAsDropTarget (0x218708)->(ffffffff) fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0x7b76c9e8, overlapped 0x7b76c9cc): stub fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!
