Steam issues with PlayOnLinux

Hello everyone, to say I’m even level 1 at this would probably be giving myself too much credit. I have decided to take the dive into Linux through Ubuntu Studio since I find myself doing photography stuff on the side among other things and figured it would be a good option.
Anyways, I have been trying to install games through PlayOnLinux on Steam and apparently I can never get a connection to the server in order to download the games. The error that is thrown after trying to debug is C0000135. Any thoughts on this? I appreciate any and all insight on the matter :slight_smile:

You need to use a patched Wine Staging with Esync. Lutris has esync builds of Wine with the fix for Steam. They cannot include the fix for Steam in vanilla Wine or Wine Staging, but the esync builds from Lutris should work.
