- Fedora 14 64Bit
- Wine 1.3.15
- Gnome
- Does not open, some times sits on just connecting some times it goes past that but then its gone.
- Asus ROG G60Vx GF260GTX 4Gig DDR3 Intel Core 2 Duo

Every thing looks good, Checked the settings for 3d graphics and audio and any thing else that looked interesting. Steam starts up and starts to log in, then it just sits there or disappears. Part of me thinks its because I should be working not playing video games, but I also think its not. Thanks for any help you all can give me.

Disable puleaudio, install alsamixer/alsa-utils and run steam again.
pulseaudio is the first cause of wine problems (non user related), seconded by ATI/AMD driver.
