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

[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

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

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'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... I have Nvidia Geforce 9800GT with driver 190.32 and Wine 1.1.28 (1.1.29 messes up my steam menus) I allso

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

Running OS X 10.6.3 on an Intel Mac (processors "2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo", memory "3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM) and the newest version of Wine accessible through MacPorts. Hey. A little while ago, I was having trouble installing wine. I eventually managed to install with MacPorts. Everything was going fine until today, when the program I actually wanted to run (Dwarf Fortress 0.31.01)

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.

I could not make the bestfortress driver 0.02 work for my Best Fortress LI675VA, so I have made a patch for the driver. The reason was, that all responses are preceded and terminated by CR LF, but the driver would discard everything after the first CR LF. The following patch discards everything up to the first LF. It also adds a debugging feature of displaying the accepted data (level 5 i.e. -D

Lots of 3D games such as Team Fortress 2, Audiosurf or Stalker have very low performance in comparison to running on the same computer on Windows. What can I do to improve it? What developers have still to implement to fully support 3D rendering?

The AppDB lists Team Fortress 2 as Platinum. It says it should run "flawlessly out-of-the-box." In Windows, I can max out all of the settings and get a steady 100+ FPS. In Wine, I have to set everything to Low, and even then, I still only get 20-30 FPS, occasionally dropping down into the 0-10 range when multiple players are on the screen. That doesn't sound flawless. Aside from

Hi. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and wine 0.9.60. I have got loads of steam apps to run including team fortress 2. However, when I join a game in Counter Strike: Source, as soon as I get to the team select, it freezes up, with the gunshot sounds repeating. It then simply closes. I looked on appdb and the main causes are alsa sound, and to make sure only alsa sound is selected in winecfg. I also

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

I am using version 1.0, and when I try to start team fortress 2, the loading and menu screen are all skewed and messed up, and the sound just loops over and over. Then when I quit, my screen resolution does not revert to what it's supposed to be. [Image: http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/1561/screenshotgx1.png ] Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

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.

I just hooked up an old Best Fortress (with new batteries). Those things are built like a tank, and it works out of the box in Fedora 14 (nut-2.6.2) thanks to the bestfortress driver still in the project. It had disappeared for 2.0, but I sent it in for 2.2, and you guys kept it going. -- Stuart D. Gathman <stuart at bmsi.com> Business Management Systems Inc. Phone: 703
