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 TF2 in Windows before switching to Ubuntu, but here are the specs & software: PlayOnLinux 3.5 Wine v1.0.1-0ubuntu6 Ubuntu (Gnome) Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 2.4GHz 4GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT Resolution: Dual monitors, both 1680 x 1050 Thanks in advance for any help.

Ask on their support forum.
Yeah I pretty much gave up on POL. However, I am now trying to run it straight through Wine and am getting the exact same problem. Any ideas?

Any ideas?Few things: - Have you suspended pulseaudio? - Have you disabled Seam community in-game? - Have you set hl2.exe to win98? - Have you disabled compiz / 3d desktop effects? - Have you added "-dxlevel 81" to the TF2's command line options?
