Pretty new to archlinux and wine but regardless

x86_64 arch, KDE4Mod 4.2.1 with qt4.5.0.3, 1.1.16 wine-bin32-suse from the arch AUR with all of proper bin32 libs isntalled. I have no problems with Steam at all, Half Life 2 will properly run without any issues. My problem is that, not every game that I have on my windows install or that I have bought is showing up currently in My Games tab (not showing not installed, nothing)

Specfically, Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2: which I found a user was sharing my same issue at the WineHQ Application database:

http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1554

But sadly there was no reply to his issue so I am at a lost on how to fix this. This is really a deal breaker between keeping arch and windows

Furthermore, if I create a symlink between my wine steam folder and my mounted Windows ntfs steam folder, the list of my games become a bit more populated but Left 4 Dead reamains missing and Team Fortress 2 has a status of pre-loaded and acts like I like I needed to purchase the game so that isn't going to work either. Copying the files inside the steamapps folder inside the wine drive still does not allow the games to be listed

Okay I guess I can confirm this is not a Wine Issue but a general issue with my arch linux installation. At first I thought it may be a firewall issue on my router configuration but I did not change any settings to allow either of the Windows Vista installations and they worked fine out of the box. A fresh installation of steam on both of my other machines running Windows Vista result in Left 4 Dead and TF2 appearing fine.

However, I have a Windows XP virtual machine. I booted this inside my arch install with virtual box and installed a fresh copy of steam and behold Left 4 Dead and TF2 are missing

Booting the same Virtual Machine of Windows XP with Virtualbox inside my Windows Vista install results in Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2 properly showing up in steam

Where should I start to resolve this????? Doesn't seem like really an issue with wine, the arch forums have no clue really. And isn't really a problem with Valve/steam

:confused:
