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

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 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

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

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

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

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 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

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

I recently switched over to ubuntu 8.10 and am new to wine, searched and couldn't find an answer. I have not touched any of the sound settings on the computer- and only installed ubuntu about two days ago, so I haven't been able to fool around too much with it to change much. I installed wine and from there steam. When playing different steam games I installed, my sound is distorted, it

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

Specs: Ubuntu 10.10 64bit Nvidia 260 GTX driver ver. 260.19.44 4 gig ram onboard sound wine ver. 1.3.16 So TF2 runs great, in dx9 mode its all good. THAT IS until something pops up on my desktop in the form of a notification or if I needed to alt+tab to something. I'm running it windowed at 1280x800 through the steam interface, the winecfg is not configured to run in a simulated desktop

I had Steam/TF2 working. Using Suse 11.1 64-bit, Nvidia card/driver, 4Gb RAM, 2.6 Intel Quad CPU. ALSA sound (pulse audio uninstalled), Windows Vista, full settings in winecfg. My TF2 crashed and when I started Steam again, the Steam update downloaded and installed. Then Steam wouldn't start any more. I tried a new .wine dir. Followed instructions for removing/reinstalling Steam. Nada.

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

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

I have a hard time trying to run any game through Steam on Wine 1.0-rc2 and PulseAudio. I already configured it according to this sites: http://blog.paulbetts.org/index.php/2007/05/27/make-wine-and-pulseaudio-get-along/ and http://skoruppa.jogger.pl/2008/05/18/pulseaudio-my-ultimate-config/ (in Polish, but similar to this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578).

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

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

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 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
