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

Yesterday I downloaded and installed the latest version of Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, and after setting up my hardware I installed Wine 1.1.12, and have been working on getting HL2 running, but with little/no success.

When ever I try to run FEAR 2 or Half-Life in Steam the "Preparing to launch" window comes up and then disappears. I assume every game I have will do this same thing, but it takes way to long to install anything in Steam. Both games produce the following output in the terminal: Code: err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered

I've just installed Empire: Total War without any hiccups (It is validated and runs through Steam). However, When I try to launch the game it just hangs with a window saying "Launching Empire: Total war" for ages without any apparent progress. I would post the terminal output but I do not know how to for games that run through steam. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks in

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

Hello everyone! I've spent the last couple of months working on a wiki that contains what the thread title says: a list of Steam games that are either native to GNU/Linux or are runnable in Wine, categorized by their AppDB rankings. A bunch of people at the Steam forums have been working on it, but it looks like a lot of people here use Steam to get their games, so it seemed to make sense to

I've been using Linux Ubuntu for a few days, but I already love it :) However, when I'm running windows games under wine, I get less than 10fps, while under windows they work really fast. I have installed latest Nvidia drivers from ubuntu repositories and Direct X 9c under wine (yes, dxdiag works, and it passes all the tests). I have also seen on youtube, that many people don't have

Hello, I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, or has tried this, but I am running WINE under Mac OS 10.5.7 on my MacBook and I'm trying to play the Half Life 2 Demo to see if it's worth purchasing Orange Box. I've installed STEAM and I have no problem running that with WINE, but when I try to play the demo everything stops working. I enter the demo from STEAM, and I

I'm trying to run Steam on Fedora 16. Steam was installed with windows, and games where downloaded. when I try to launch with wine /media/disk/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/Steam.exe i get fixme:process:GetLogicalProcessorInformation ((nil),0x32e48c): stub fixme:process:GetLogicalProcessorInformation (0xce0c00,0x32e48c): stub CellID: Fetching server list from CSDS. . .

Hello, I've tried a few Steam games, and played them for a bit, but I have a few problems: 1) Because I run dual monitors, normal full screen games will not work. Furthermore, full screen games with a virtual desktop go in a 800x600 window and will not resize, so I have to play the games in a window in a virtual desktop. This is relatively minor and I can live with it, but it anyone has a

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.

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

I am trying to track down a crash in Steam (Steam itself, not a game through it). In following appdb instructions for Steam I realized that it was installed in /home/tparker/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steam.exe and not in :~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files> where I had expected it, although that second directory does have a SteamInstall.msi sitting in it but

Hey guys, Can anyone help me close the gap between my POL and Wine setups? I currently have a laptop running PlayOnLinux 3.8.8 and a desktop running only Wine 1.3.9 (Fedora 14). As the subject read, the laptop with POL is running fine, but a generic install with the latest .msi file from the Steam website is not. Steam on Wine, was able to run it's own autoupdate, but after that refuses

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with the newest version of Wine. I'm relatively new to Linux, but I do understand the basics of terminal.

Then, when I click
