When I try to install this, Steam starts to update, but then errors out with “Steam needs to be online to update. Please check your network and try again”
This happens even though I know my connectivity is good and even if I already have Steam up and running.
Lutris then shows a spinning arrow saying it’s installing, but there is no progress.
Any help would be appreciated.

No logs since the game never installed

lutris --submit -issue didn’t create a file. I’ll try again since I’ve likely done something amiss.
I had the windows version of the game running on Ubuntu using Native2Proton but since the June 9 update, that version is obsolete and I can’t connect to co-op games because of the different versions.
The linux version works fine on Steam, but again no co-op because of version differences.
I’m sorry, but I’m completely ignorant of how to use wine so am trying to find a “packaged” fix to get the Win version running on Ubuntu.
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated!
Here’s the pastebin
Got exactly the same issue today with another game. This looks like a Wine bug (the Steam executable doesn’t find the internet connection).
EDIT:
I had a chance of checking different Wine versions, and all experience the same behaviour.

Found a workaround for my case.
Run Lutris on a terminal and repeat the procedure. At some point, you should see a line like this in your terminal output:
Running /usr/bin/wine /home/[user]/.local/share/lutris/runners/winesteam/prefix64/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/Steam.exe -no-cef-sandbox -console
After you get the same exact error, close Lutris;
Set the WINEPREFIX variable on the terminal:
$ export WINEPREFIX=/usr/bin/wine /home/[user]/.local/share/lutris/runners/winesteam/prefix64/
(or whatever path shown above)
Run the following command:
$ winetricks -q steam
After the winetricks script installs Steam on that prefix, you can repeat the installation of the game.
Please let us know if this method works for you.
Cheers,
Davi
This issue has been talked about before. I can’t find the exact post, so I’ll not link it, but there is/was a bug with Steam, specially WineSteam, where the server files (or something) would not be downloaded correctly, so a person would not be able to properly connect to the servers.
This happened to me and, at the time, I told the solution was “simply doing nothing”, because the problem would solve itself after some time of not being able to download.
Some people, however, pointed that there was a series of steps to quickly fix the problem going to some text file and putting a correct string there.
Anyways, glad you solved it.
Thanks for the reply.
There seems to be an issue with the downloaded SteamSetup.exe.
I tried this twice and got the same results.

Oh, and I can’t seem to get lutris to work even for my linux version of the game. It runs on Steam fine.
I did manage to get the Native2proton installation running, but it broke somehow. When I shutdown Steam, Steam was waiting for Borderlands 2(N2P) to close before it would. I had to force exit and after that the N2P version wouldn’t start.
I get the same error when I try to run N2P and then exit Steam. The game never starts, but Steam has to wait for it to close before exiting…which it never does.
Is the games failure to shutdown properly damaging a config file or something?
My apologies for answering just now.
I get the same issue with Borderlands 2. The reason in my case was the sync of the save files to the Steam cloud. I sorted it out after disabling the Steam cloud sync for the game.
Thanks for the info! I’ll try that.
