Hi, as some of you may know, there were some issues reported recently about the Steam version of this game not starting. Presumably the solution was to compile wine 1.2+ with a recent version of GCC and binutils, so that the copy protection software could hook certain functions. I've done this, and I've posted some details in the bug tracker (<a href="http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23553">http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23553</a>).<div>
<br></div><div>The In-game Steam Community works for me now, which reportedly is a sign that the above steps went well. However, Deus Ex: Invisible Wars still won't launch. The pop-up error window reads "Application Error: Problem starting up Steam."</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm using Wine 1.3 that I compiled myself, but I get the exact same error with Ubuntu's package for Wine 1.2, which, according to reports of several people on Wine's bug tracker, doesn't meet the compiler requirements I mentioned at the top.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have a bunch of DLL overrides created by winetricks when I installed dx9, VC Runtime 2005, 2008, .Net 2.0, XNA RT, MSXML 6.0, PhysX. I believe everything else is pretty much standard, and those are needed by most games anyway. Many other games work just fine.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anybody can help me diagnose the problem? Is anybody able to run the Steam version of this game?</div>
