similar to: TF2 crashes when about to log in

Playing tf2, most of the time it runs very smoothly in fullscreen, and even in windowed, but occasionally, for a few frames, it either cuts to a distorted view of my virtual desktop (when I'm using one) or just random fluorescent colors set at right angles to each other. Anyone know what is happening? I can't take screens because, well, it's not taking them. Solutions appreciated!

I really feel like a n00b posting this, but I can't for the life of me find how to apply this patch. http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=21763&action=edit One of the Steam updates broke TF2, and according to the comments in the bug tracker this should fix it. I just have idea what to do with the file. Also, my wine setup isn't like most peoples. I compile wine from source and

I have a GTX260 216 core, running the latest Nvidia binary driver(260.xx). I have a Phenom II x4 3.2ghz, and 4GB of DDR3-1600 ram. All in all, not a bad system. Now, my problem is that no matter what settings I use, I tend to get in the 30-50fps range with DX8.1. Lower if there's a lot of action onscreen. The interesting thing is that my frame-rate doesn't change significantly with

I'm running 2.6.33-gentoo-r2, nvidia 9800GTX+ driver 190.53, wine 1.2-rc* and my TF2 seems to crash (basically just instantly turns off) every time someone shouts for medic in my vicinity (or when i shout for one) .. looks like wine doesn't like losers

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 have managed to get TF2 working at an acceptable framerate under Wine. However 3 problems arise when playing it. When I run the game, it always sets my texture detail level to "Low" when I can run at "High" or "Very High" with very little performance loss, but no matter what I do, whenever I exit and restart the game, it reverts the texture detail level back to

I'm really hoping someone might be able to help me with this one. Both CounterStrike Source and TF2 play really well on my machine but eventually cause the entire system to hard lock (requiring a reboot, I can't even access terminals). I've spent a significant amount of time trying to get this to work. I have tried completely removing Pulse Audio, setting the game to win98 mode, and

Hi, I've looked through the posts but couldn't find a solution to this. I'd be really grateful if someone could help, I'd like to convert a data file of mutual information that is formatted as a matrix:             TF1    TF2    TF3    TF200... Gene1    0.0    0.2    0.2 Gene2    1.4    0.0    2.8 Gene3    0.3    0.6    1.7 Gene6000.... To a list: Gene1    TF1    0.0 Gene1   

Hello! I just installed TF2 and Steam through WINE. However, once I started it, it said my hardware must support at least Pixel Shader 1.1 to run the game. I looked up my Gfx card online, and the specs say my card supports Pixel shader 1.4. The requirements on the box say I need a card that supports Direct X 8. This shouldn't be a problem, because I've used both 8 and 9 on Windows. Is this

Hello, I got a real problem as TF2 is my favorite game, when i start steam and click on Team Fortress 2, it loads and the menu shows up, but when i try to join a server whole TF2 hangs! So i'm forced to "Kill process" to make it shut down, i've tried running it in a virtual screen etc. but nothing works. But it does work with Crossover Office Pro and Crossover Games, so i

Hello all. I'm having a spot of trouble with Team Fortress 2 under WINE. You see, the game appears to randomly stop working and blank out. Here are my system specs: Motherboard: MSI 790GX-G65 RAM: 4GB DDR3 CPU: AMD Phenom II Video Card:PNY/Nvidia GTS250 Performance Edition After the screen blacks out, I am returned to my desktop, with the resolution still at TF2's max.

I've got a c function in a dll and have been able to call it from R. The function is : void __stdcall testfunc2( unsigned long *a, double *b, unsigned long *c, double *result ) { *result = 0; *result = (*a) * (*b) * (*c); } and the R code to call the function is as follows: dyn.load("c:/openfvs/biometrics/debug/biometrics.dll" ) tf2 <- function(

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

Hi, I'm using Suse 10.3, GeForce 8600GT 512mb, driver version 169.12, and wine 1.0 rc4.

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

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

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

so first off wow works on wine but wines being gay and when i hit maximize it maximizes but the actual wow window is still the same size and i have problems running tf2 on crossover it tells me "Setup file 'gameinfo.txt' doesnt exist in subdirectory 'hl2'. Check your -game paramater or VCONFIG setting.and tf2 works fine if i just switch over to ms home edition by restarting.

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
