Anyone know if/how you can use the new wisotool (http://wiki.winehq.org/wisotool) with the games it supports through Steam? I have several of the titles it "supports" and would love to give it a try if it works through Steam. Regards, ~Jeff

Another fortnight, another Winetricks. This release fixes a handful of bugs, and adds a handful of games (or, really, ports them from wisotool). It also brings back the old verb dotnet20sp2, since that seems to work with wine-1.3.18 (please let me know if it's useful). It also adds a rudimentary gui to prompt for Steam username and password, cleans up the --help message, and improves mac and

Another two months, another winetricks release. (So much for release early, release often :-) Highlights: - fixes a bunch of verbs whose download URLs had changed, especially vcrun2005 and vcrun2008. - fixes the annoying "unexpanded variable" error which happened when running old wine with a new wineprefix. - brings back gog support (though without automated download for now; any

wisotool is a handy winetricks-like script for automatically installing games from .iso files copied from your own dvds (or, if the game is freely downloadable, it will download it). Just like winetricks, it is intended to make testing Wine easier, but might be useful for people who simply want to install games. Unlike winetricks, wisotool is quiet by default; it doesn't ask any questions

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I need a little bit of help. I'm running WINE 0.9.59 on Ubuntu 7.04 For starters I'm trying to get steam games to work on wine. I can get steam installed, and I log in fine. but when I go to launch a game it says "the latest version of Microsoft DirectX is needed to play this game" So I look around the internet on how to installed dx on

Another week, another winetricks. (A bit early because of the macosx fix.) Highlights: Fixes install check on macosx; many other small bugfixes and updates, too. For vineyard compatibility, don't explode if a wineprefix has spaces in the subdir name. New option --force for when you want to override the dependency check Experimental support for Steam games, see new verbs alienswarm_steam,

Another, er, quarter, another winetricks. Online as always at http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks or http://winezeug.googlecode.com Thanks to Austin English for taking on most of the work keeping winetricks up to date! (And apologies for my own slowness in doing another release.) Changes since 20090116: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r491 |

I have a brand new computer with a fresh install of Gentoo linux and wine. I have been able to install and run Steam, but Steam itself always seems to freeze some short time after starting it. Usually this takes place at the "Connecting account. . ." dialogue, but every now and then I can actually get a game of HL2 loading. I have never got as far as the HL2 menu being active. It does

I have read over and over about people having the same issues with Steam in wine - none of them had the new rc 1.0, but I'm still experiencing the same problems - the frame rate issues, as well as the weird green textures in the start-up screen. Anyway... everyone says its DirectX 9.0's fault, and to run it under 8.0. The problem is... I only have a shortcut for Steam, and the system, for

I'm wondering if anyone can help me? I'm trying to run Secret of Monkey Island special edition in Steam on wine with Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat. I can install steam and use it to install the game (after it installs directx), apparently with no problems, but when I try to run the game, a window opens saying "Preparing to launch The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition".

Another fortnight, another Winetricks. This one has a heap of bug fixes (e.g. works again in kde, don't think glsl=disabled means disabling glsl.dll, don't expolode if a wineprefix has single quotes in the name), and the following new verbs: DLLs: d3dx11_42 xact: now also installs xapofx1_1.dll xact_jun2010: newer version of xact for games that need e.g. xapofx1_4 Apps: utorrent3: new

Hi, I'm using Gentoo Linux and Wine 0.9.1. I had no problem to install Steam, but Halflife and it's Mods like CS doesn't work. After starting the game through Steam, the background image appears, but there are no menu entrys and the App didn't reponse anymore. If I minimize CS and maximize it again, the background didn't get repainted. When having virtual desktop disabled

I just installed steam+TMN and it seems to run quite well apart from sound. I tried switching to OSS and got not sound while on ALSA I get the occasional "click" and thats about it. Other software I have run through wine is WAR beta and WoW both of which play sound fine, so I suspect maybe Steam is holding up the sound device or something? I am on Ubuntu Hardy. I also used winetricks

(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

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
