            Bug ID: 50134
           Summary: Steam terminates/crashes in clean prefix.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 5.21
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux

Terminal output for Steam.exe, wine 5.21.

I was hit by #50072, so decided to install Steam into a clean wine prefix with
wine 5.21 to test this in a more reproducible environment.

For convenience, I installed steam using "winetricks --no-isolate steam" into a
non-existing prefix, thus creating it.

The installer worked fine, but the subsequent self-update mechanism of Steam
had to be started multiple times to finish.

Afterwards, I started Steam with the "-no-cef-sandbox" parameter (not sure if
it still has any effect nowadays) and *disabled* the accelerated web content
rendering, then restarted Steam.

Upon restart, even though no applications were installed and there's no visual
indication of a download, the library window can be seen briefly, but shortly
after, Steam just closes or crashes.

The same behavior can be seen when using wine 5.17. I explicitly tested with
this version to rule out any issues caused by some big core changes to DLL
loading in 5.18.

Just to make sure, I used the "corefonts" verb to pull in fonts needed by
Chromium, but that likewise didn't change the outcome.
