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

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...

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 all dudes. We're organizing a petition to ask Creative to include Ogg Vorbis support in one of their next firmware releases of their digital players. This is very important for two reasons: 1) Creative is a big company. If they include Ogg support in their digital players, other manufacturers will follow the example. 2) This should improve use experience of this class of products for

Okay, so awhile back I had a problem with Steam. It wouldn't start and so I fixed that after installing a minimal version of winetricks (I removed a few things I knew I wouldn't need). Then Steam worked. Unfortunately I then had a problem with Team Fortress 2. This time the game wouldn't load. So I read the AppDB for Team Fortress 2 again and it said to disable Steam Community

I am using version 1.0, and when I try to start team fortress 2, the loading and menu screen are all skewed and messed up, and the sound just loops over and over. Then when I quit, my screen resolution does not revert to what it's supposed to be. [Image: http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/1561/screenshotgx1.png ] Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

I thought this would be of interest to LLVM developers: The Fortress project, which was an attempt to create a very advanced language with implicit parallelism, parametric polymorphic types and many other cutting edge language features, has announced that they are winding down the project. What I found very interesting was that one of the reasons they gave was the lack of a suitable execution

One sort of questions why a company the size of Oracle, working with DARPA funding, wouldn't have the resources to design the virtual machine they required for the project... although reading the article they never do *quite* say that Fortress is being put down... just that the research group is winding down on it, the JVM target work isn't going to be completed, and the current

Lots of 3D games such as Team Fortress 2, Audiosurf or Stalker have very low performance in comparison to running on the same computer on Windows. What can I do to improve it? What developers have still to implement to fully support 3D rendering?

So, TFC works great under wine, no problems cept one, i can't connect to any servers. The world renders fine, my sound is fine, everything is good cept connection to server. I can browse the server list, see updated info from master server, i just can't join any games. Latest Wine. Fortress Forever, i cannot even ping the master server, nor can i enter the game.

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

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

Hello all, I'm trying to get Team Fortress 2 going and so far it's working good minus the fact the fonts for the server list are just about unreadable. I'm running on a clean ~/.wine directory and I had winetricks install: adobeair, d3dx9, corefonts, unifont, vcrun2005, allfonts, flash, amd gecko.

This may not directly be a vorbis topic, but it could have some VERY serious implications for open source development. I read this morning on the doom9 site about the "Security Systems Standard and Certification Act." I not a lawyer so I'm just going by doom9's interpretation. Here's an excerpt from doom9: "Should it pass kiss your rights as a consumer by bye. As a side

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 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

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

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

In 1.1.5 the sound/music in games played allright. Since 1.1.6 it skips badly - plays for a couple of seconds, then stops for half a second, then plays again, then skips and so on. Happens on every game on Steam - Team Fortress 2, Everyday Shooter, Peggle Extreme - and also without Steam - Icy Tower. I have Razer Barracuda AC-1 sound card. I've found that in Winecfg when I choose Alsa driver
