Hi. I'm running Debian Lenny, and I'm having a problem with Wine and playing TF2. I used to be able to play TF2 under DirectX 8.1 before updating to the newest version, no problems. I didn't even have to use the option -dxlevel 81, it was already set to it when I looked under video settings in TF2. However, with Wine 0.9.59, it seems that the DirectX that comes bundled with Wine is

I bought a new computer for myself, and installed Kubuntu on it. I installed Steam on it, bought the orange box, tried to run TF2, and it didn't work. When I started it up, t showed the VALVE logo and played their little jingle, showed the Source logo, then the screen went blank and nothing happened :x . It opened it in the Konsole (Terminal) and it gave me this when the screen (on the desktop

Hi everyone, I hate to ask n00bish questions, but after several days of forum scouring and searching for answers, I'm at a loss as to where to go next. I'm a long-time Linux CLI user, but I haven't really played with Wine or many aspects of the GUI-end until recently. I've been trying to get two of my favorite Windows games to run on my Debian Testing install, and keep coming to

My problem: After some time playing WoW (about 1-2 minutes) the whole screen turns white. Everything else seems to work perfectly, I still have sound and I still can interact with my character. I can even open a terminal (blindfolded) and type 'killall WoW.exe' to quit WoW and make the white screen go away. wine --version outputs 'wine-1.1.37' I use the propiertary nVidia drivers

Hello, I got a real problem as TF2 is my favorite game, when i start steam and click on Team Fortress 2, it loads and the menu shows up, but when i try to join a server whole TF2 hangs!

Hello there, After downloading the latest version of wine, latest graphics drivers and install Steam through PlayOnLinux, I tried to launch Team Fortress 2. The initial Valve sound played and then the menu soud, but there was absolutely no video/display. Checking the processes list, hl2.exe was still running, so obviously something is going wrong here. My system should be fine, as I used to run

I have problems with installing Team Fortress 2 on wine 0.9.59 (the version from repositories). When Steam wants me to insert disc 2, I type "wine eject" in a console, insert the second disc, click ok, but then the same message appears - "Please insert disc 2". When I click it a couple of times, the window breaks - there's only a part of titlebar. Does anyone know a

I'm running the game with the following options: > -novid -dxlevel 90 -width 1024 -height 768 I've got sound working using the ALSA driver. I can play other games just fine. I have an ATI Radeon X2300 which never game me any problems, I even used glxgears and got these results, which I think are ok: > 7851 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1570.134 FPS > 11556 frames in 5.0 seconds =

I am running wine 1.10 with the latest nVidia drivers, the 180 series. Now, everytime I shoot at the glass, or somebody breaks it, hl2 crashes without any unusual output. Just all it does is exit. Even if I throw a grenade, and go away, it will crash when I return to the place and make it load the picture. Any help will be appreciated!

Ever since the RCs and the release of 1.2, I have been having trouble with directx based games not working properly. They did work under wine-1.1.3x. The problems are: video very slow and jerky, about 1 fps, objects appearing as "tears" on the screen, missing some textures, and screen going blank during certain effects. System: 64-bit kubuntu-10.04, dual NVIDIA 9800GT w/ 512 mb, plenty

Hello, I'm using Wine 1.4rc5 (because earlier versions seemed to lag rather badly when rendering pages in Steam) on kernel 3.0.0-12.20 using the (latest) 64-bit NVIDIA driver version 295.20 (installed from the file from NVIDIA) for the Quadro 160M (which runs has run TF2 just fine in the past). I understand that Team Fortress 2 and other Source games require 32-bit display driver libraries,

Hello gentlemen, I try to start Team Fortress 2, which shows the Valve splash screen in a little box in the middle of my screen (supposed to be fullscreen), and then the screen goes black for a second and it crashes afterwards. I tried running it with '-dxlevel 81' both from the wine command in the terminal and in the game's properties in Steam, but it shows no difference. Anyone

Specs: Ubuntu 10.10 64bit Nvidia 260 GTX driver ver. 260.19.44 4 gig ram onboard sound wine ver. 1.3.16 So TF2 runs great, in dx9 mode its all good. THAT IS until something pops up on my desktop in the form of a notification or if I needed to alt+tab to something. I'm running it windowed at 1280x800 through the steam interface, the winecfg is not configured to run in a simulated desktop

I have a GTX260 216 core, running the latest Nvidia binary driver(260.xx). I have a Phenom II x4 3.2ghz, and 4GB of DDR3-1600 ram. All in all, not a bad system. Now, my problem is that no matter what settings I use, I tend to get in the 30-50fps range with DX8.1. Lower if there's a lot of action onscreen. The interesting thing is that my frame-rate doesn't change significantly with
