I there, I recently installed wine, and followed this document https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CounterStrike to install steam. After installing steam I logged into my account and installed Day of Defeat Source from my steam account. After downloading and installing when I click play I got this error in my command line: errle:RevokeDragDrop invalid hwnd (nil) errle:RevokeDragDrop invalid hwnd

Yesterday my computers hard drive was supposedly destroyed because of windows as dell tech help told me over the phone. My friend came over today and introduced me to ubuntu and wine. My computer is working wonderfully on this os but I have a problem. I bought elder scrolls III on steam yesterday 20 minutes before my computer crashed. I don't really know the first thing about computers. I have

Hi guys! I was reading to the platinum games list and I noticed that many are accompanied by the "steam" label (i.e. day of defeat steam): what does that mean? Can't I use the normal game dvd to install the game? Sorry but I'm quite a wine noob! Thanks in advance!

A few weeks ago I reinstall my laptop with Debian etch (upgraded to lenny), kernel 2.6.27.8, wine 1.1.10, fglrx v8.11 (ati x2300) and Steam api version v007 There is no problem to launch Steam.exe (`wine /path/to/Steam.exe &`). However, after Steam.exe startup, I can not launch Day of Defeat. No specific error displayed on the screen, the `Preparing to launch Day of Defeat' dialog popped

Hi there, I'm running Ubuntu 8.04, 32-bit. Now using Wine 1.1.17 Using Ati binary driver 9.2 for x1600 series I'm experiencing problems with Left 4 Dead. Basically I have sound, and I can get to the main menu no problem using this command (which I found on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=far0jjAlg24). Code: env WINEPREFIX="/home/xxxx/.wine" wine "C:\Program

I am running wine1.3, installed from the winehq repo on ubuntu 10.10. I installed steam through winetricks, nothing else. After this i told steam to start installing civ V. And for some time it just downloader with 1.4mb/sec. then suddenly everything stopped... and all i could squeeze out of my connection was 150kb/sek. Is there anything in wine1.3, or perhaps steam running under wine1.3 that

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?

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

Hello WineHQ I am looking to install Steam onto my laptop. (Toshiba L655 w/ Ubuntu 11.04 64bit) Following several of the guides I have found online I was able to install the steam platform/engine with no issues, however when I go to download one of the games from my library to install it or access the steam store. It will crash out, displaying the following error stream in my active console.

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

Whenever I change the sound driver from ALSA to OSS in winecfg all of my steam games are muted. Some of the games doesn't even start, some of them start but are totally silent with OSS. I installed a couple of non-steam games into the same wineprefix, interestingly they can use both sound systems. So this issue is applied only to steam games. If I apply the WINEDEBUG=+dsound parameter when

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

[Image: http://flare.xenmedia.org/uploads/Steamasd.png ] I get the following error, tried to google but found no working solution. Nothing has changed on my system. Steam worked fine when i tried it 1 week ago. I doubt the issue is Wine.

Just so you guys know, there's a new game available on Steam that I would hope to see some development for Wine, which is this awesome puzzle game called Braid. http://braid-game.com/ It's a 2D side scroller, but it's so much more. I've played the demo on my brother's X-Box 360, but never could convince him that it was worth it to download. SO I was hoping I could stir up some

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

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

Since well at least 1.3.29, i have to activate the game every time i start the game...and you know after 5 times...its done activating...so I trashed 3 times already with those 3 engines, so i would be happy if someone can look into this.

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

Just a quickie question... Could someone remind me how I attach my console output to a game being run through the Steam client? Otherwise I think I am just seeing the output from the Steam client itself - right? I am trying to troubleshoot launching Bioshock 1 and I don't have a retail copy of the game to try out...
