Hi, I'm trying to get Half-Life to run under Linux with wine, which is allegedly possible... I'm running debian unstable and don't have a windows partition. I installed wine from cvs from cvs.winehq.com:/home/wine, and ran the ./tools/wineinstall script, following the instructions on the howto here: http://lhl.linuxgames.com/howto/half-life-HOWTO-0.4.1.html I get to the part

Hello, I am having a problem running Diablo in WINE. It installs properly and will run, but at the title menu all I get is a blank screen, but the menu is there for I can navigate it, i just can't see it. I realize that this is due to a problem with DirectDraw, and have read articles on this. But I am new to WINE and have little experience with Linux as a whole. I was hoping that someone

Hi, Sorry for this newbie question. I have a old piece of software called 'Titanic Explorer'. It makes heavy use of QuickTime within the application's front-end.

Hi everybody, I tried today to install and play Half Life under wine on a toshiba satellite 3000-400 with an nvidia geforce2 go graphic card and an integrated sound card (i810). I downloaded both wine and winex from the CVS repositories, and compiled them with opengl support without any problem. I tried to install half life. winex hung when testing the wave sound output, and wine worked

Hello. I have installed Diablo 2 + LOD, no problems there. Try to start the game I get an error like this: "Error 22: A critical error has occured while initializing Direct Draw." When I run the D2vidtst.exe it cant find any working video mode, It could be because of my graphics card (Mobile Intel? Graphics Media Accelerator X3100), but on wintendo it is working fine. I get this in

Hey all, Two issues with HL-CS. First, my system specs: XFree 4.2.0 stock Redhat one - January 23. 4.2.0-8 Redhat 7.3 - WineX(and Wine 20020228) 512mb RAM Matrox G400 card.

It worked fine with most programs...but not Half-Life and some other games... My recommendation is that you dont use a preinstalled version of windows as the basis of a wine

Hi, I've installed Dune 2000 and the 1.06 patch in Wine, and it runs very well, except that it doesn't accept keyboard input. It wasn't any better without the patch. The entry at the appdb doesn't mention anything about it. Does anybody know how to fix it? I've already tried changing all the settings on the "graphics" tab in "winecfg". Half-Life, for

Hi, If I play a game in Wine - either Caesar III or Half Life come to mind right now - they seem to work better for me in a windowed setup where the game is not full screen and I can still see the rest of my Gnome desktop in the background. Caesar III plays well under Cedega or Wine, HL much better under Cedega, but the point being that I've tried both. The frustration I've had is

Hi, I installed Half-Life via wine on to boxes today, one with a Voodoo3 and one with a TNT-2, everything went fine, upgraded to the newst Half-Life Version (1.1.1.0).

On the TNT-2 box, when I go singleplayer, after "Loading..." wine gives "wine: Unhandled
