similar to: I am unable to purchase games in steam

How do you install a game demo though? If you try purchase, it says it is not available for purchase, I've tried get,run,install ... none of which do anything.

I've installed steam and it runs (extremely slow though), but when I log in and open the my games tab none of my games are shown. I know the games are still registered to my account though because when i use my old windows computer they are still all there. Also when I tried to repurchase one of my games I was told that the software i wanted to purchase wasn't available in my location yet

Hello, annoying problem here. I've recently installed Ubuntu Maverick beta 1 with wine 1.3.2. For some time now, my steam overlay has been functioning perfectly. Now, since installing Maverick, I've suddenly lost the steam overlay. The process doesn't even launch at all, and invoking it manually is impossible. Are there any known issues with Maverick, wine, steam and the overlay that

When ever I try to run FEAR 2 or Half-Life in Steam the "Preparing to launch" window comes up and then disappears. I assume every game I have will do this same thing, but it takes way to long to install anything in Steam. Both games produce the following output in the terminal: Code: err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered

Whenever I change the sound driver from ALSA to OSS in winecfg all of my steam games are muted. Some of the games doesn't even start, some of them start but are totally silent with OSS. I installed a couple of non-steam games into the same wineprefix, interestingly they can use both sound systems. So this issue is applied only to steam games. If I apply the WINEDEBUG=+dsound parameter when

I'm about to try out Team Fortress 2 because my friends wanted me to join in with them, and I'm using Wine to run Steam. However, because I'm new to this Steam business and everything, I'm just curious -- how do I install a game using Steam as the AppDB says? Or, how do I move TF2 files to this "steamapps" folder, and if that is the preferred method, how can I get the

Pretty new to archlinux and wine but regardless x86_64 arch, KDE4Mod 4.2.1 with qt4.5.0.3, latest wine-bin32-suse from AUR with all of proper bin32 libs isntalled. I have no problems with Steam at all, Half Life 2 will properly run without any issues. My problem is that, not every game that I have on my windows install or that I have bought is showing up currently in My Games tab (not showing not

What is the current status of Steam games in Wine? Some people claim same or better performance than Windows and other say its much worse. At least with TF2, the game goes from great performance with decent settings in Windows, to barely playable with all settings on low in Wine. Can Steam games run well in Wine without having a machine so powerful it can overcome any software problems? Is there a

Hey Ive followed the instructions in the AppDB on how to setup team fortress 2, and after i did the preformence in menus improved, how ever i cannot still join any games. After loading completty finnished, just to send of into In-Game mode, it crashes. No error messages and steam freezes... I have Nvidia Geforce 9800GT with driver 190.32 and Wine 1.1.28 (1.1.29 messes up my steam menus) I allso

Wine Version 1.2, Ubuntu Lycid Lynx Games that I've tried to launch: Half-Life (Goldsource) Day of Defeat Sven Co-op I have tried to run the games with Steam normal installation and with Steam Installed with winetricks Terminal Output when I tried to run Steam and then Half-Life under Steam.

Just a quickie question... Could someone remind me how I attach my console output to a game being run through the Steam client? Otherwise I think I am just seeing the output from the Steam client itself - right? I am trying to troubleshoot launching Bioshock 1 and I don't have a retail copy of the game to try out... Thanks 8) Bob

Hi. I've an issue with wine 1.1.18 on FC10 X86_64 and Steam games. My steam folder is /mnt/windows. It's a NTFS partition. Steam launch is ok. Fonts are anormal but ... That's run. But no game will launch. I had "preparing to launch". But nothing after. No error message , nothing. Same with CSS, TF2, PVKR2, HL2. Help me please

So after years of running a 'pure' Linux machine, I finally decided to install Wine so I could play some of my old games - and it's been a disaster. Using either Wine 1.5.3 or 1.3.3 trying to launch Half-Life Source results in nothing happening, trying to launch from the commandline gives this stack trace: Code: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address

ok i've waited a day with steam running and i've stoped and started steam many times and my games still don't show up in the "my games" tab. The same message still appears when i try to repurchase my games saying that the software i want to purchase is not offered in my area. could it be that steam is misreporting my location the the servers? im using ubuntu 8.04 and wine

Hi, I recently upgraded to the 2.6.24-17-generic kernel and my graphics drivers got all messed up, so I reinstalled the OS, the drivers and everything seemed to work. Then I installed wine every way I could find WineHQ method, synapic method, from source, and most recently the method stickied here (which seems to be the WineHQ way). Each time I install it steam installs fine (after grabbing

Anyone else notice that launching of games (CSS, HL2, etc.) from Steam appears to be foobar'd using the current SVN (wine-1.1.15-221-g79cc416)? I haven't had a chance to do _proper_ regression test yet, but a quick test of jumping back to 1.14 made things work again. Other games (tested with Anarchy Online) are working fine with the current SVN, so I'm supposing the bug is somehow

Hello everyone! I've spent the last couple of months working on a wiki that contains what the thread title says: a list of Steam games that are either native to GNU/Linux or are runnable in Wine, categorized by their AppDB rankings. A bunch of people at the Steam forums have been working on it, but it looks like a lot of people here use Steam to get their games, so it seemed to make sense to

[1.3.13]-Valve's STEAM Games Do Not Work... Hi, I've mentioned this several times already and did not receive a response. (either it will be fixed or some work-around) I can't play many games when using Valve's STEAM client under current Wine 1.3.13 32bit using Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. If I run Wine full screen and run a game from STEAM I can't get the keyboard working (have to
