[Wine] Launching Source engine games results in crash, small res
Well I'm able to get Steam running fine, however I've tried to play the following: Team Fortress 2 Left 4 Dead Counter-strike Source Portal When I try to launch Source based games the screen goes black and then it resizes the resolution to something like 1024x600. I am able to get the Left 4 Dead intro movie to play with this script: WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.steam wine /home/l33/.wine.steam/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam/steamapps/common/left\ 4\ dead/left4dead.exe I've tried it in KDE with compositing off or on. My preferred method of gaming is running a separate X server on DISPLAY :1 by putting the above WINEPREFIX command in a script name l4d.wine, then making another script: xinit /home/l33/scripts/l4d.wine -- :1 My openGL performance is decent in the unigine heaven benchmark, so I know my drivers are working to some degree...just not in DirectX. I have the latest Catalyst 9.7 fglrx with a 4870X2 in Arch Linux x86_64. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem, I've been able to run CS:S with wine 1.3.0 until the last linux kernel update (2.6.32-24-generic). Wine 1.3.1 won't fix it, so I think its because of the kernel update.

If you are, can you 'downgrade' to 10.5 to see if a problem that was previously reported affects your video card? If performance improves, please report a bug to AMD/ATI. James McKenzie

After that release Battlefield Bad Company 2 lost Crossfire support (bug), and I've heard Starcraft 2 doesn't do so well with the newer drivers. I'll post results. I also forgot to mention that I did install COD4 Modern Warfare just to see if I could get any recent DX game to run. It ran without any sort of tweaks, but there was this strage tiling effect going on. It could have been a result of Crossfire 'Super Tiling' rending mode gone horribly wrong.....I didn't try setting Catalyst AI to advanced before uninstalling. In fact I'll go ahead and test with Catalyst AI disabled, since I can't remember if I tried that or not.

> Well I didn't mean the distro, but is that the kernel you're on? I didn't think Ubuntu updated that fast......As I said, I updated my kernel 2.6.32-24-generic (it was a security update), and before that update I could run any Source game fine (HL 2 and CSS). I use the 10.7 Catalyst drivers.> ironzorg at Aurelia:~$ lspci | grep -i vga > 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650> ironzorg at Aurelia:~$ fglrxinfo > display: :0.0 screen: 0 > OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. > OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 > OpenGL version string: 3.3.10057 Compatibility Profile Context FireGLI insist on the fact that I only updated the kernel, and suddenly hl2.exe became to crash after a couple seconds I run it.

I use the catalyst drivers v10.7, kernel 2.6.32-24-generic.

Just saying: I rolled back to the 10.7 drivers, the 10.8 makes all my games have weird FPS drops... Ill tell you when the 10.9 is out.

As long as you play WoW and start to gather WoW RuneScape Gold (http://www.storeingame.com), you must have bags(Buy WOW Gold (http://www.zyy.com)). It seems obvious, but many players forget that you are limited in what you can carry by the number of bags you have! The more items you can carry the more Cheap RS Gold (http://www.gobuycheaprsgold.com) you can convert. Trouble is, though, that bags are expensive and made of hard-to-get materials. This is a primary reason why so many serious players buy WoW gold online.
