Me too, installed Cedega 4.4.1, and all sorted. Found a new toy now though. Recently installed NeverWinter Nights thru portage

All i needed to install it was the CD-Key!!

Gentoo, cedega and steam:

I was getting the same error, about:

Code:

Steam.exe &#40;main exception&#41;&#58; Win32 Attempt to read from virtual address 7471641 .....

Yet i thought i had cedega 4.4.1 installed. Though i'm not sure which steps were necessary My fix involved also installing point2play (point2play-small-2.0.3.tgz) then unmerging cedga and merging it again. I noticed when i unmerged that the output was talking about an older version of cedega. Perhaps something from the old-version got jammed? Perhaps I was missing the latest point2play and so cedega 4.4.1 didn't successfully install?

So, there's a variation on the fix.

with gentoo you download the cedega .tgz files into /var/portage/distfiles/

(gentoo)
# emerge --usepkg transgaming-fontinstaller
# emerge --usepkg point2play
# emerge --unmerge cedega
# emerge --usepkg cedega

and then steam would run again. Reinstalling cedega and running steam lead to this warning (but it now works, which is the main thing)

Code:

Updating TransGaming config and registry info

Sweet...can anyone help me fix this for Windows?
