Hi all,

I am running Mint 13 Maya (KDE) and recently installed POL to install and run Steam.
POL brings up a 'cannot find 32bits Open GL Libraries' error that I have yet been able to fix, however that's not what this is about.

I was able to install Steam through POL, but when I went to run Steam it attempted an update. It wouldn't boot up, it just kept trying to install update/extract update.
This is the log file (condensed):

Try installing the "HackSteam" component (Configure button > select virtual drive > Install components tab > HackSteam).
Upgrading Wine to 1.5.25 in this virtual drive may also work.
