           Summary: Steam & games freezes
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.3.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P1
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: magnus at hacka.net


This bug appeared directly after a Steam update issued between the 22th and 23th
of December. I did not have any problems like this whatsoever before this
update. An update of both the Steam files and steam platform was made.

This bug shows both when starting only steam and when starting games in steam,
like Counter-Strike 1.6 and Half-life 2. 'wine-preloader' and 'wineserver' takes
up all CPU time during 1-3 minutes, it then releases so that games/steam is
accessable. Then, after acouple of seconds, everything freezes again. Everything
is 100% unplayable due to these system freezes. I can regain controll of my
system by alt+tab'ing out of the game and killing off the Steam processes.

Once the bug appear 'wine-preloader and wineserver takes up almost all system
time, even when just running Steam with no active game.

I run Ubuntu Linux 5.10 (2.6.12-10-686), Nvidia 6800 GT, Pentium 4 Prescott 3,4
ghz, 1 gb ram. I never had any major issues with playing games in Steam before.
But this bug totally blocks all gaming via Steam.


Here's the output from Steam and top (during the problem):
