In this wine version steam still working

But most interesting thing (in tested for now) is this

33034 Many GFWL (Games For Windows Live) 1.x/2.x/3.x games crash or exit silently on startup (DiRT 2/3, GTA IV Steam)

In this moment s stay testing other titles like as dead rising 2, red faction guerilla, fuel, bulletstorm, blazblue calamity trigger, hour of victory, grand theft auto IV, dirt 2, the club, tron evolution, virtua tennis 4, james bond quantum of solace, lost planet 2, section 8, test drive ferrari legends, super street fighter IV, resident evil 5, resident evil racoon city, flatout ultimate carnage, f1 2010 and maybe others

But at this time for example this prevent GFWL live crash and if possible create local profile without problem (as see in video) but if title have another check like as securom need fix for that (fuel case and others)

More later up other results

hopefully this is only a temporary regression and those work soon again

thanks for your continued testing
