Hi there

Recently migrated from Arch to Debian
Trying to get Steam under wine working but for some reason , both wine and wine64 fail to launch steam.
A bit confused as it worked out of the box on Arch.

Quoting: Guestwhich version of wine?
I'm having problems too, after a steam update, with recent wine (although actually I normally run wine-git).

1.8.7-2
razing32 Nov 3, 2018
Quoting: GuestThat looks really old then, considering 3.19 was released recently.

I'm wondering if i am on some older repos.

Edit : Yes i am , seems i am on the Stable version.
I think most people use Testing , no ?
razing32 Nov 3, 2018
OK . I did an install from the wine instruction from debian
But the stable version still remains 1.8.7.2
Funnily enough steam now starts but fails to download anything as it lacks access to servers.
Wonder if this has anything to do with my user not having sudo rights.
razing32 Nov 3, 2018
Quoting: Guestmaybe it's just the package version:

wine --version

should give the actual wine version id.
I've not used debian in a long time, but I always used either testing or sid when I did.

razing@debian:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam$ wine --version
wine-3.0.3


So it seems it is 3.0.3
I would move to testing but a bit worried what a full system upgrade might imply.

There is a huge difference in every package version between the two systems. Not sure if this was the best choice. Also, you might need a 32 bit wineprefix for Steam (both for installing and running).

@razing32: If you have some experience with compiling, you can build Wine from source. With your CPU (i5-7400) it will take you about 15mins for each architecture (32 + 64 bit) and you won't have to switch to testing for it.

Don't use Debian stable for desktop purposes, use testing. For Wine I configured Winehq repo anyway, it updates Wine more frequently.
lucinos Nov 4, 2018
For desktop purposes (where stable just does not fit the needs) it is just simpler and safer to use testing. Testing is still pretty safe but the downside is that the purpose "I want a completely stable distro" is somehow defeated. At least if you stay on testing and do not do something stupid, it is still pretty safe and not worse than Arch.

I used the 32bit version to install steam.

I'll be honest this is one of the more confusing aspects of debian for me since it has so many images and options.
How can i be sure if what i have is stable or testing ?
I tried checking /etc/-os-release and my apt-sources list

Is that testing or stable ? Do i just replace main with testing and do a system upgrade ?
