Steam and WineX CVS

[philtesone]

does it work ?

According to this:

it does work right now. Just not 100%. And, it appears that there have been some issues stemming from Valve constantly updating Steam.

It installs fine but when I run it and try to logon I get:

Could not connect to steam network.
This could be due to a problem with your internet connection, or with the steam network. . .

I'm running Slackware 10, WineX CVS as of early this week and CS 1.5 works great. . .

Do I have to have IE6 up and running first? Because if that's the case I'm screwed cos' I haven't been able to get that installed to save my life!

here's what I get when I try to install ie6:

Why do you need IE6 again?

I have Steam working fine since WineX3.1I was playing CS the other week from Steam...let's see if it still works

Nope, seems to crash when you launch one of the games (like CounterStrike)
I saw a fix on the Transgaming forums somewhere...

...edit...

Here it is, for you Transgamers

I applied the patch from the link I posted and was playing CS with no problems through Steam

[philtesone]

ok

nope, it still says: could not connet to steam network

I must have a port problem here. . .
