Wine 8.18 wow64: steam not launching

[strongtz]

the wine-8.18 build: Pi-Apps-Coders/files@large-files wine-8.18.tar.gz (download)

Steam fails to launch with pop-up window saying: There was a problem with your steam installation. Please reinstall Steam. It works fine with this build on x86_64 Arch Linux.

I think the problem seems to be here:

IPC client is in my process, could/should be using an in-process pipe.
src\common\steam\client_api.cpp (589) : ClientAPI_InitGlobalInstance: InternalAPI_Init_Internal failed, most likely because you are missing a 32-bit dependency of steamclient.dll (the Steam client is a 32-bit app).

Yes, I was aware of this one, it was an old issue.

But I think I have fixed it! And now steam launch. I haven't tested much but that goes farther.

Also, might interest @theofficialgman

the wine-8.18 build: Pi-Apps-Coders/files@large-files wine-8.18.tar.gz (download)

wine 8.18 is not used by pi-apps currently as it fails wineboot -> https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64/issues/1031 . wine 8.17 is used for now https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/blob/master/apps/Wine%20(x64)/install-64#L4 the wine 8.18 build on the repo is there itself since it is good but we can't use it

I am surprised you have been successful in using it.

[ptitSeb]

I don't reproduce the hang with wine 8.18 on my side. Anyway, the fix for steam should also works with previous wine @theofficialgman

[strongtz]

Yes, it does go further with b3daf55! But it still gets stuck somewhere.
