Hello lehmannwer,

since you are running FreeBSD 9.1 which is not very commonly used for
Wine/gaming and now considered 'legacy' you have to provide more information.

I tried to set up a FreeBSD 10.x VM with Qemu/KVM but failed on the graphics
drivers/xserver part (got some nice segfaults).
Since I didn't want to waste lots of time on an exotic and seemingly broken
system I gave up.

You have to create a trace log when installing Steam in clean (new!) 32-bit
WINEPREFIX.

1) set WINEPREFIX to your steam prefix (if not default)
2) ensure no processes are running in steam prefix -> 'wineserver -k'
3) start steam as follows:

--- snip ---
$ WINEDEBUG=+tid,+seh,+relay wine ./steam.exe >>log.txt 2>&1
--- snip ---

run until failure/repeated downloads.
Attach the log (compress if too large).

You might also try this on FreeBSD 10.0 (production) or 9.2 (legacy).

@Jarkko:

This bug is about the Windows version of the Steam client, not the native Linux
client. Adding to that, they are not very cooperative/responsive when it comes
to running Steam client with Wine, so expect no help there.
This is already the correct place to report problems.

Regards
