similar to: Steam games won't launch

So after years of running a 'pure' Linux machine, I finally decided to install Wine so I could play some of my old games - and it's been a disaster. Using either Wine 1.5.3 or 1.3.3 trying to launch Half-Life Source results in nothing happening, trying to launch from the commandline gives this stack trace: Code: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address

I've tried both 1.1.15 and 1.1.14, and I can't get my Counter Strike Source to launch. All that happens is a window comes up and says "Launching Counter Strike Source...", then the window closes, and the game never launches. Here is my Output from when I launch the game via Steam, to when it stops. Code: err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not

Hi there, I was just wondering how I would go about creating a bash script for Steam apps. I just started college in Pre-Biochem. and Pre-Comp. Sci. so I'm not far enough in yet (and midterms are coming up, how embarrassing) but the point is, I don't know how to create a bash script for steam apps. I know they start up steam first, then log in, and then get into the game. I'm not

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.

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

I just got a steam update and steam stopped working. It didn't work in wine 1.1.43 (which I had at the time) or wine 1.2rc1 (which I installed to try to fix it) including after a reinstall. Does anyone currently have steam working with the new update? If so, what version of wine are you using? In the future I am going to back up my .wine directory with steam set to offline mode so this

Hello folks, I've a problem. I just installed Jaunty, and, thanks to Wine, the latest version of Steam. But, after the installation, it doesn't open. It just stays in processes as "Steam.exe" @ sleeping. Any solutions? (I tried running it on both XP and Vista mode)

I've followed all the instructions on the appDB page, yet the Steam (new 2010 UI version) crashes after being shown for less than a second. here is the output of WINEDEBUG=warn+all: http://pastebin.com/T0K8w1Uv I'm running wine 1.1.44 compiled from source on ubuntu 10.04

Hi, as some of you may know, there were some issues reported recently about the Steam version of this game not starting. Presumably the solution was to compile wine 1.2+ with a recent version of GCC and binutils, so that the copy protection software could hook certain functions. I've done this, and I've posted some details in the bug tracker ( http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23553).

I played Portal 1 for a while yesterday. When I was done, Steam asked to be updated and I let it. Since that update Portal has refused to launch. Here's what happens: The intro videos play, and then the screen stays black. There is absolutely no disk or CPU activity. It's like it just refuses to load. System monitor says hl2.exe is at "futex_waite_queue_me" Other source games

I have tried multiple times to connect to steam without success after updating to 1.1.8. Internet connection works, as I can access pages in firefox, and steam is not down, as I can log in through a vm with no problems. Currently running Ubuntu 8.10 with Wine 1.1.8 Any suggestions?

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

Anyone else notice that launching of games (CSS, HL2, etc.) from Steam appears to be foobar'd using the current SVN (wine-1.1.15-221-g79cc416)? I haven't had a chance to do _proper_ regression test yet, but a quick test of jumping back to 1.14 made things work again. Other games (tested with Anarchy Online) are working fine with the current SVN, so I'm supposing the bug is somehow

Hello, I've been having problems trying to run Steam games. The Steam itself takes up a lot of resources even when idle, for some reason, but the games run rather smoothly - in menu that is. Most of the games I have on steam are multiplayer games, and as the topic title suggests, I can't ever get to play them due to problems on connection. When playing Men of War, the game freezes on

Is it possible to run steam like normal, in gnome, and have the games it launches run in virtual desktop mode? I only particularly want this with Dead Space 2, as it has problems not running in VD mode.I have tried to set Steam.exe as non virtual desktop, and deadspace2.exe as virtual desktop, but it just launches DS2 in the gnome environment. tl;dr Can I have an app running in Gnome desktop

Hi, I have preordered natural selection quite a while ago and it seems like it is getting to a playable state, so I wanted to know if anyone could help me (and many others :)), to get natural selection 2 to work with wine. I would gladly give you a console log, but i don't even know how i start steam-games from console :/. (when i try "wine Natural\ Selection\ 2.exe", it says that i
