[Wine] Steam (HL2) locks up on 64 bit Ubuntu

[TheDruidsKeeper]

Yesterday I downloaded and installed the latest version of Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, and after setting up my hardware I installed Wine 1.1.12, and have been working on getting HL2 running, but with little/no success. I got Steam installed, but when it opens none of the HTML pages render (saying "HTML is currently disabled."), and when I go to the My Games tab to have it download any of the games, as soon as I hit the install button the app locks up, choking down system resources until I kill it.

Here is the debug information from when I start the app, I can't figure out what the class objects are that I am missing:

Code:

$ WINEDEBUG="fixme-all" wine "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe"
CellID: Fetching server list from CSDS. . .
CellID: CSDS returned 243 servers.
CellID: Connecting to 196.38.180.3:27031. . .

And then as soon as I hit the install link for any of the games, these last two lines are output:

Code:

err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} could be created for context 0x1




Hopefully someone can help me with this because my brain is about fried with all the research I have been doing. Thanks in advance.
