similar to: Team Fortress 2 losing priority/ how to fix?

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

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 been in #winehq all day with this and nobody seemed to have any ideas, so I figured I'd post here. I recently installed TF2, which is an official HL2 mod. No problems with installation. The problem is that when I launch the game itself, it crashes almost immediately and I get the error in the attached log (made using WINEDEBUG=+tid,+seh,+loaddll,+d3d,+d3d_shader,+d3d9). Thus

I haven't been able to find a way yet, but is it possible to somehow have steam run not in a virtual desktop or at least a seperate virtual desktop than team fortress 2? If I could alt tab or switch desktop spaces and be able to access steam from my taskbar so I can talk to my friends in the game (since in-game overlay doesn't work) Or join them using the steam friends options without

Greetings fellow Wine users, ????????I saw a prior message in the archives from 'darckness cyrix12 at cox.net' mentioning a problem trying to run TF2. I'm running on the latest git, or wine-0.9.45-426-g71d70f0, and appear to be having a similar problem. I have a gzip of a log with WINEDEBUG=+tid,+seh,+loaddll,+d3d,+d3d_shader, +d3d9 [1], running Steam and attempting to launch TF2.

I can not seem to get TF2 to run anymore. Steam launches fine, TF2 takes awhile to load but still loads, and then I says loading for a few minutes, my mouse appears in front of tf2 and then it crashes. Things I've Tried. -Update from 1.2 - 1.3.2 -disable audio -add gameoverlayrenderer to the dll disable as well as 64 version to be safe. However it still crashes. here is a pastebin of the

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

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

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'm using Wine 1.4rc5 (because earlier versions seemed to lag rather badly when rendering pages in Steam) on kernel 3.0.0-12.20 using the (latest) 64-bit NVIDIA driver version 295.20 (installed from the file from NVIDIA) for the Quadro 160M (which runs has run TF2 just fine in the past). I understand that Team Fortress 2 and other Source games require 32-bit display driver libraries,

I have problems with installing Team Fortress 2 on wine 0.9.59 (the version from repositories). When Steam wants me to insert disc 2, I type "wine eject" in a console, insert the second disc, click ok, but then the same message appears - "Please insert disc 2". When I click it a couple of times, the window breaks - there's only a part of titlebar. Does anyone know a

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.

Ubuntu 10.4 32bit I've tried Ubuntu proprietary drivers, and latest Nvidia drivers 256.53 or something. (gpu = evga 8600 gts 256mb) Wine versions 1.2 and up all have my issue When I run Steam games windowed or fullscreened, they run amazing. Until I get a skype/pidgin/rythmbox/email notification popup, at which point the steam app drops dramatically in performance. (1 different frame every 10

Hello gentlemen, I try to start Team Fortress 2, which shows the Valve splash screen in a little box in the middle of my screen (supposed to be fullscreen), and then the screen goes black for a second and it crashes afterwards. I tried running it with '-dxlevel 81' both from the wine command in the terminal and in the game's properties in Steam, but it shows no difference. Anyone

Hi guys, Everything worked fine on 1.3.4 I think, then since a new wine version I guess (or new tf2 one ...) the game just doesn't launch at all ... I voted for http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25256 but I would like to know if there was something to do (ubuntu Lucid) please. Thanks Shad

Hello, I had low fps in TF2 and I found that I have to disable GLSL. It's working way better now, but i have new problem, a picture is worth a thousand words so here you have link to youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98naGy0B8OQ Anybody knows how can I fix it?

This problem has already been addressed on the AppDB for TF2, and it's been announced that it's due to the video card and mainly occurs with ATI video cards, which I currently have. However, I'm wondering if there's been a solution to this from either the Wine community or ATI themselves. I haven't been able to find anything on either official support website.

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.

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

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
