Same problem here. I purchased Half Life 2 + Episode 1 using Steam. The status
stays at preload complete and I cannot lauch the games. Under Windows my account
works.

I found out that at the first installation it works. After some tests I noticed
that deleting the reg key HKCU/software/valve it works but I have to do it all
the time.

I also tried to move my installation and the reg keys from the windows install
but that did not help. But I noticed that the wine regedit was not able to
import the REG_BINARY key HKCU/software/valve/steam/users/<uid>/licenses. I then
found out that exporting a REG_BINARY from wine and reimporting it also caused
trouble. It seems that the REG_BINARYs with 00 00 00 in it are causing trouble
in wine.
For example importing a REG_BINARY with value

00 00 00 40 af 50 47 36

will cause the error

regedit: ERROR converting CSV hex stream. Invalid sequence at
',00,00,00,40,af,50,47,36'

while 99 99 99 99 works fine.

That could explain why only certain steam accounts make trouble. Can the other
ones please look whether they have a string similar to 00 00 00 in the license
string found in HKCU/software/valve/steam/users/<uid>/licenses
