similar to: Problems with sound and video when running team fortress

Okay, so awhile back I had a problem with Steam. It wouldn't start and so I fixed that after installing a minimal version of winetricks (I removed a few things I knew I wouldn't need). Then Steam worked. Unfortunately I then had a problem with Team Fortress 2. This time the game wouldn't load. So I read the AppDB for Team Fortress 2 again and it said to disable Steam Community

Hello, I'm trying to run Team Fortress 2 on Linux using Wine 1.0. I tried starting the game from Steam, but it shows the loading TF2 window, then closes and never starts the game. I know the game isn't supposed to run on Linux, but I have a question about gameinfo.txt. I tried starting hl2.exe in: /.wine/drive_c/Program Files/steam/steamapps\*user*\team fortress 2 folder, but it said I

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'm using openSUSE 11.1 KDE 4.1 and I'm trying to install Team Fortress 2 which I installed by clicking run with wine on the setup.exe which was on the DVD. Steam installed installed with no problems, But when I start TF2: 1.I get no background image in the menu, 2. there is no crossair in the game, 3. the scoreboard doesn't appear by click tab, 4. the frag notifications doesn't

One sort of questions why a company the size of Oracle, working with DARPA funding, wouldn't have the resources to design the virtual machine they required for the project... although reading the article they never do *quite* say that Fortress is being put down... just that the research group is winding down on it, the JVM target work isn't going to be completed, and the current

I thought this would be of interest to LLVM developers: The Fortress project, which was an attempt to create a very advanced language with implicit parallelism, parametric polymorphic types and many other cutting edge language features, has announced that they are winding down the project. What I found very interesting was that one of the reasons they gave was the lack of a suitable execution

I haven't been able to find a way yet, but is it possible to somehow have steam run not in a virtual desktop or at least a seperate virtual desktop than team fortress 2? If I could alt tab or switch desktop spaces and be able to access steam from my taskbar so I can talk to my friends in the game (since in-game overlay doesn't work) Or join them using the steam friends options without

I can install other hl2 mods and they show up in my games list and run fine, however whenever I install fortress forever it doesn't show up. I've even tried the shortcut that installs from the setup. But when I run that it just says loading source sdk base and nothing happens. There is no useful terminal output either. This is on wine 1.1.19. Help would be very much appreciated.

Are you used the command line ( -dxlevel 80 ) option to launch the game? This solved my problem of corrupt graphics and texts in game.

Installed Wine 1.3 from Ubuntu 11.10's Software Center, installed Steam from official Website, loaded up Team Fortress 2. Nothing. Nothing happened at all. So... what do I need configure to get it running?

Hello all, I'm trying to get Team Fortress 2 going and so far it's working good minus the fact the fonts for the server list are just about unreadable. I'm running on a clean ~/.wine directory and I had winetricks install: adobeair, d3dx9, corefonts, unifont, vcrun2005, allfonts, flash, amd gecko.

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,

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

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

Hi, my UPS is a Best Fortress LI1420 with the monitoring master running fedora 7. I have to replace the manufacturer's software "Checkups II" because it's not working with releases after fc4. My choice is the nut package. But it isn't just installing rpm's and configure the parameter files. ? The first hurdle to take was realising the UPS doesn't send a prompt.

[As posted as Ubuntu Question #184284 on Launchpad] Hi, I try to set up nut (2.4.3) on my Lucid (10.04.3 LTS) to make use of my old but very trusty UPS (Best Power Fortress 660 LI). Yes, this UPS is old (about 16 years), but with its third battery pack last week it is as good as new. It runs perfectly well with Windows XP, Vista and even Windows 7. But not so with Ubuntu and nut. After

Hello! I just installed TF2 and Steam through WINE. However, once I started it, it said my hardware must support at least Pixel Shader 1.1 to run the game. I looked up my Gfx card online, and the specs say my card supports Pixel shader 1.4. The requirements on the box say I need a card that supports Direct X 8. This shouldn't be a problem, because I've used both 8 and 9 on Windows. Is this

Hi guys, Everything worked fine on 1.3.4 I think, then since a new wine version I guess (or new tf2 one ...) the game just doesn't launch at all ... I voted for http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25256 but I would like to know if there was something to do (ubuntu Lucid) please. Thanks Shad

I can not seem to get TF2 to run anymore. Steam launches fine, TF2 takes awhile to load but still loads, and then I says loading for a few minutes, my mouse appears in front of tf2 and then it crashes. Things I've Tried. -Update from 1.2 - 1.3.2 -disable audio -add gameoverlayrenderer to the dll disable as well as 64 version to be safe. However it still crashes. here is a pastebin of the

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
