Then I search forum which comes up with this thread - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=9410">http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=9410</a>, which seems has problem similar to mine, suggesting <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24096#c5">http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24096#c5</a> would solve the issue by rename GameOverlayRender.dll. However, after renaming the file, the Steam still fail to launch. I can only type id/ password and see it trying connecting, then fail.

I found an interesting thread on Steam game problems in the
Codeweavers support forum (thank you Ken Thomases for one of the
solutions), after googling on the error message above and finding
nothing on MSDN or any other authoritative web site. Problems with
the gameoverlay.dll file have been discussed many times in
relationship to Steam games.<br>
<br>
For those, you can go into the Wine Configuration (winecfg) tool
(code: wine winecfg or just plain winecfg). On winecfg's
Applications tab, click Add Application. Select the executable of
the Steam game that's having the problem (or just type its filename,
like <i>foobar.exe</i>) and click Open. Select the Libraries tab
of winecfg. Type GameOverlayRenderer in the "New override for
library" edit field, click the Add button, click the Edit button,
select Disable, click OK, and click OK. That prevents the in-game
community overlay from even being loaded for that game.<br>
<br>
You can apply this to the entire WinePrefix by not typing in a game
name and then following the instructions above. This will stop
loading of this file for all programs in the WinePrefix.<br>
<br>
Something else you might want to try IF this does not work is using
winetricks and installing MDAC 2.8 (some games are strange and use a
database access for their game data.)<br>
