Winesteam stuck on connecting steam account

Winesteam gets stuck on connecting steam account, if i run it from lutris.
I tried running it manually using the wine binary downloaded by lutris, in the same wineprefix, and it works then.
Here’s the console output:

I’m running the XFCE desktop on the Manjaro distro, Linux kernel 4.16.

Wine cannot find the ncurses library (libncurses.so.5).

You seem to be missing stuff, make sure to install wine on your system to get all required dependencies.

I have ran the first command on this page: https://www.gloriouseggroll.tv/how-to-get-out-of-wine-dependency-hell/. Yet it still complains about ncurses, even though I have ncurses and lib32-ncurses installed.

Ok, turns out i had to install lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs.

Well actually that didn’t solve the problem, now winesteam sometimes starts and sometimes doesn’t.
