wine users - Jul 2007 - Counterstrike Source, Gold Status?

Hi,

im a fan of this game for quite some time now besides the community its a 
really nice time killer.
After reading the wine app db entry it should run well, but it doesnt. It 
almost immediately drops below 30fps if something happens.
Yes it looks almost like the windows version, the ingame font looks different. 
But whats the point if you cant win any fight?

Ive used the latest wine on gentoo and ubuntu(fresh install), my hardware:
x2 3800+, 2gb ram, nvidia 8600gt
In windows it breaks down to 70fps which is acceptable (16 players, big fight)
remember - in wine it took "something" to drop below 30 which is
nearly
nothing...for example if you respawn with the others its already lagging.

Just in case somebody tries to play it with wine - not possible.
And if you run in someone from l***x-g****s - well, you can believe them and 
waste your time or you dont.

This is in no way criticism to the wine devs - as the page clearly states wine 
will first focus on compactibility and then on performance.

try bf2, great game, great community.

greets
Julius

I appreciate your frustration that you were unable to run or play the game
as well as you'd have liked, and whilst things aren't perfect yet,
you're
welcome to avail yourself of the documentation on that appdb page
( http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3731 ) or to ask other 
players (like me!) for help here, or better still there, where maybe the 
largest number(?) of prospective players will see it.

It's more than "possible" to play Counter-Strike: Source through
Wine, though.
"Not possible" is just counter-true, and a bit misleading for other
users. :p

Regards.
