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

1. What does ~ mean? cd ie. "~/.wine/drive_c/" 2. Steam runs. Hurray. But I can't chat with friends. I can see their messages, but not mine. I assume they never get them because they never say anything more. 3. I launch TF2, I get the valve logo, source logo, then BAM back to desktop. No error boxes. And my screen resolution stays "minimized" to what tf2 was

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

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...

[1.3.13]-Valve's STEAM Games Do Not Work... Hi, I've mentioned this several times already and did not receive a response. (either it will be fixed or some work-around) I can't play many games when using Valve's STEAM client under current Wine 1.3.13 32bit using Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. If I run Wine full screen and run a game from STEAM I can't get the keyboard working (have to

I'm hoping someone can help me figure this problem out. It's been bugginng me for quite a while. First, basic specs: 8.04 Kubuntu x86 64 bit system. Nvidia 9600 GT video card 2GB RAM Wine version 1.1.10 I've been running wine for several years, so it's distinctly possible that I've got some leftover configuration information that's messing me up. I've tried

I've followed all the instructions on the appDB page, yet the Steam (new 2010 UI version) crashes after being shown for less than a second. here is the output of WINEDEBUG=warn+all: http://pastebin.com/T0K8w1Uv I'm running wine 1.1.44 compiled from source on ubuntu 10.04

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

Hi. I've an issue with wine 1.1.18 on FC10 X86_64 and Steam games. My steam folder is /mnt/windows. It's a NTFS partition. Steam launch is ok. Fonts are anormal but ... That's run. But no game will launch. I had "preparing to launch". But nothing after. No error message , nothing. Same with CSS, TF2, PVKR2, HL2. Help me please

My Steam install under wine seems to be in a rather strange state. I was only playing a couple of Valve games (TF2, CS:S), and I decided to add Left 4 Dead 2 to the mix, which worked fine. However, every other Steam game I had then stopped working. For example, I start CS:S and I get the "preparing to start game...." box, and nothing happens; same sequence with my other steam games.

Latest 1.4rc5 Breaks Valve's STEAM Client ??? Hi, I installed Wine 1.4rc5 into my LinuxMint 12 KDE 64Bit Linux OS. I then installed Valve's STEAM client into Wine. When I log into STEAM, I receive an error and then it closes??? Backtrace is here: http://pastebin.com/iDxkehT5 It was working in Wine 1.4rc4. How do I install 1.4rc4 over 1.4rc5 so I can play STEAM ??? Thanks! Jesse

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

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

Lets get this out of the way first. My laptop has: Wine Version 1.3.18 Linux Mint 10 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 @ 2.80GHz nvidia GeForce 9400 nvidia GeForce 260m SLI nvidia Driver Version 260.19.06 If theres anything I left out let me know and I'll do my best My problem is that on the games I am running through wine, I am getting a reduced frames per second compared to what I had before

Did you tried to launch the game directly with Steam ? Tried to install d3dx9 with winetricks ? It's strange that you can play at this game because on Steam, the game will unlock only the 06/24/2011... : http://store.steampowered.com/app/21100/?l=english Illegal download or not, that is the question [Laughing]

Hi guys! I was reading to the platinum games list and I noticed that many are accompanied by the "steam" label (i.e. day of defeat steam): what does that mean? Can't I use the normal game dvd to install the game? Sorry but I'm quite a wine noob! Thanks in advance!

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

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.
