Hello again!

Please Sir, we're not requesting you to support Wine. We're wondering if you can
tell us what you did in the Steam platform update between the 22th and 23rd of
December 2005.

Telling us that will allow us to resolve the problem ourselfs.

Very best regards,
Magnus Glantz

Hello,

We do not support the use of wine, Steam is a windows application. Using wine is
completely acceptable, however we cannot provide support for this application.

Hello,

After an update of Steam and the Steam platform between the 22-23th of Decmeber
a very nasty bug appeared with Steam and Wine. Wine is an Open Source
implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. With Wine it has before
been possible to run Steam and Steam based games flawlessly in many diffrent
Linux platforms, until recently.

Between the 22 and 23th of December Valve made some kind of update that makes
Steam and all Steam based games to frequently freeze, making Steam and it's
games unusable and unplayable. Alot of people are using Wine or Wine based
solutions to be able to play you're games on Unix based platforms, but right
now, alot of them can not any longer.

The Wine Open Source community are trying to solve this problem. You would help
us and many of you're customers if you are able to tell us exactly what was done
in the update between the 22th and 23th December 2005.

A Wine Bug tracking ticket has been opened for this at:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4131 there you can read more information
about this problem. This bug has been verified by the community. Some useful
information that has arisen is that the problem does not seem to appear in
off-line mode.

Best regards,
Magnus
