similar to: Steam games won't launch

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

Hey Ive followed the instructions in the AppDB on how to setup team fortress 2, and after i did the preformence in menus improved, how ever i cannot still join any games. After loading completty finnished, just to send of into In-Game mode, it crashes. No error messages and steam freezes... I have Nvidia Geforce 9800GT with driver 190.32 and Wine 1.1.28 (1.1.29 messes up my steam menus) I allso

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

I played Portal 1 for a while yesterday. When I was done, Steam asked to be updated and I let it. Since that update Portal has refused to launch. Here's what happens: The intro videos play, and then the screen stays black. There is absolutely no disk or CPU activity. It's like it just refuses to load. System monitor says hl2.exe is at "futex_waite_queue_me" Other source games

I'm about to try out Team Fortress 2 because my friends wanted me to join in with them, and I'm using Wine to run Steam. However, because I'm new to this Steam business and everything, I'm just curious -- how do I install a game using Steam as the AppDB says? Or, how do I move TF2 files to this "steamapps" folder, and if that is the preferred method, how can I get the

So after years of running a 'pure' Linux machine, I finally decided to install Wine so I could play some of my old games - and it's been a disaster. Using either Wine 1.5.3 or 1.3.3 trying to launch Half-Life Source results in nothing happening, trying to launch from the commandline gives this stack trace: Code: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address

Anyone else notice that launching of games (CSS, HL2, etc.) from Steam appears to be foobar'd using the current SVN (wine-1.1.15-221-g79cc416)? I haven't had a chance to do _proper_ regression test yet, but a quick test of jumping back to 1.14 made things work again. Other games (tested with Anarchy Online) are working fine with the current SVN, so I'm supposing the bug is somehow

Hi. I had a performance issue with wine and all games. It's wine 1.1.18 FC10 X86_64bits with a Quad Xeon @4ghz and a Geforce 8800GTS512. I had a good frame frame... CSS and TF2 @ 70-100 fps and guildwars around the same... But this is very unstable... And when i walk in the game i had some micro freezes... The game can't be fluid. Same in TF2 /CSS/ Guildwars. For guildwars i've

What is the current status of Steam games in Wine? Some people claim same or better performance than Windows and other say its much worse. At least with TF2, the game goes from great performance with decent settings in Windows, to barely playable with all settings on low in Wine. Can Steam games run well in Wine without having a machine so powerful it can overcome any software problems? Is there a

I had Steam/TF2 working. Using Suse 11.1 64-bit, Nvidia card/driver, 4Gb RAM, 2.6 Intel Quad CPU. ALSA sound (pulse audio uninstalled), Windows Vista, full settings in winecfg. My TF2 crashed and when I started Steam again, the Steam update downloaded and installed. Then Steam wouldn't start any more. I tried a new .wine dir. Followed instructions for removing/reinstalling Steam. Nada.

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

Hi Folks, I have been using Wine for some time now to run Team Fortress 2 (and other HL2 based games) on my Ubuntu system. I was previously running Ubuntu 7.10 with an Athlon64 3800+, a 7600GT (256MB of RAM), and 2GB of DDR2 333MHz. Recently I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 (i386) with an AthlonX2 64 6000+, an 8800GT (1GB of RAM) and 4GB of DDR 800MHz. I was really hoping for a nice performance bump

Hi all, I am trying to run games, like tf2 and hl2, on my macbook2,1. I installed wine-devel (1.3.1) from macports. When I try to launch a game, the valve video plays, then the screen goes black, of it crashed. Here is the log: err:winedevice:ServiceMain driver L"vstor2-vixmount" failed to load CellID: Fetching server list from CSDS. . . fixme:process:SetProcessShutdownParameters

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 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

Yesterday I downloaded and installed the latest version of Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, and after setting up my hardware I installed Wine 1.1.12, and have been working on getting HL2 running, but with little/no success. I got Steam installed, but when it opens none of the HTML pages render (saying "HTML is currently disabled."), and when I go to the My Games tab to have it download any of the

Hi! I have managed to get games like Team Fortress 2 and Mirror's Edge to finally run. But only with really bad performance. If I run glxinfo | grep direct in the terminal, I get: Code: direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set) However, if I run sudo glxinfo | grep direct, it outputs this: Code: direct rendering: Yes I'm not sure if that is relevant, but it seems a bit odd.
