[gentoo-user] Valve Steam on gentoo

For some reason Steam fails to start any games on my gentoo box. I am using
wine 1.1.32 with the engine itself and the games all downloaded to gentoo's
partition (not the ntfs3g problem). Steam itself loads fine, but when I
click launch the game nothing happens.

This is very said because Steam is the only reason why I still have to deal
with Windows :(

Any ideas?

There are many, many Windows applications that don't run under Wine.
Especially games. That's probably one of them.

Even if they do, they usually run only with certain video cards.
Usually Nvidia.

I do have an NVIDIA card. Moreover, I have the very same version of wine on
Ubuntu and all of the games are running with no problem. It is only on
gentoo, where I have this problem.

That makes me wonder a bit... you might see if you can't compare the
configuration you have for wine on both to see that they're the same,
and the use flags you have on gentoo compared to the compile time
options ubuntu used... but I'm not sure where to track those down.

Beyond that... any errors on a terminal when the games fail to load?
You might look into the WINEDEBUG variable to get a little more detail
on what's happening, but just running winecfg for a few seconds with
WINEDEBUG=all gives me about 45MB of output.

You have probably already seen this bug and checked if it matches your problem:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/230962

What a lucky discovery the last commenter made there.

The disabling of the in-game chat unfortunately doesn't help my problem

Hi list
          when I setup wine for running windows app I used the 
winetrick. I had solved various problems when I setup dotnetfx or 
another components.
The link: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

Best regards.
