Summary: Steam: cannot have set-ups for games that steam does
not also run with
Product: Wine
Version: 1.2-rc5
Platform: x86
URL: http://store.steampowered.com/
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P1
Component: -unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: 1337swordman at gmail.com
The problem is that steam will not run with certain simulating modes that are
needed to fix up the games e.g. some games may require simulation mode to be
windows 98. As the latest version of steam does support 98 and requires you to
upgrade systems you cannot run the game.
One possible way to fix it may be when/if steam is released for Linux. A wine
developer could ask valve for the integration of wine into steam. Not only
would it mean Linux users could run steam games that are windows only it means
more games are going to be bought from steam benefiting both. Of course if such
a thing is done there will need to be a good integration of the wine tab which
will show how compatible wine is with the game.
