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!

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

Hi List! I have a little problem: I start steam so: *jonas@jonas:~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/Valve/Steam$ wine steam.exe *err:mmio:MMIO_ParseExtA No . in szFileName: "" err:mmio:MMIO_ParseExtA No . in szFileName: "C:\\Program Files\\Valve\\Steam\\" fixme:vxd:VXD_Open Unknown/unsupported VxD L"gdperf.vxd".

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

[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

HI all, I have Wine 1.3.26 installed on my Linux Mint 11 system, and have installed Steam. Steam runs, but it runs incredibly slowly, and causes the rest of the computer to also run very slowly. The odd thing is that the games I have (Portal and Half-Life 2) seem to run fine once they get going. Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions or pointers about what's going on and if there is anything

Hi all, A couple of days ago I decided to give wine on a mac a try caused I got bored of dual booting my mac. I ve been A linux wine user for years and I had some pretty good results with it. I figured that i would have the same results on a mac but i guess I was wrong. I got my version (wine-devel packet wine 1.1.16) from macports. Got winetricks as well. Everything were setup fine and

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

I there, I recently installed wine, and followed this document https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CounterStrike to install steam. After installing steam I logged into my account and installed Day of Defeat Source from my steam account. After downloading and installing when I click play I got this error in my command line: errle:RevokeDragDrop invalid hwnd (nil) errle:RevokeDragDrop invalid hwnd

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

Is it possible to run steam like normal, in gnome, and have the games it launches run in virtual desktop mode? I only particularly want this with Dead Space 2, as it has problems not running in VD mode.I have tried to set Steam.exe as non virtual desktop, and deadspace2.exe as virtual desktop, but it just launches DS2 in the gnome environment. tl;dr Can I have an app running in Gnome desktop

...version as information that'll be transmitted to Valve. Saw it the first time today, has anyone seen that before? Is there an information from Valve about that?

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 everyone! I've spent the last couple of months working on a wiki that contains what the thread title says: a list of Steam games that are either native to GNU/Linux or are runnable in Wine, categorized by their AppDB rankings. A bunch of people at the Steam forums have been working on it, but it looks like a lot of people here use Steam to get their games, so it seemed to make sense to

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]

Martin Otten did most of the work to get Speex up and running for our games about a month ago, and we just recently released it to the Steam beta. So far it appears to be working pretty well, and we're interested in doing more work using Speex going forward. I'd love to hear any feedback that people have using it, especially at the different quality settings. The information on how it
