Hello I managed to install a version of wine in ubuntu using:
sudo apt-get install wine
which gave me version 1.2.2
This version has been working pretty good with World of Warcraft but according
to the AppDB version 1.3.6 is much better ('platinum') for
Counter-strike: Source. So I d/led the source and installed it in
/home/myname/.wine-1.3.6 but i'm not sure i understand PREFIX
i used PREFIX=/home/myname/.wine-1.3.6 to configure it and eventually i ended up
running a game via $HOME/.wine-1.3.6 with the specified prefix before it, but
how does winetricks and / or winecfg interact with this second version.
Do I need to reinstall each game into my drive_c for each version or can I run
them with PREFIX=$HOME/.wine-1.3.6 and locate the main .wine directory
I guess I'm not really sure how I can make this second version my own and
configure it like I attempt to with the original install
The PREFIX option when you compile Wine determines where it installs. (It should default to /usr/local) When running Wine, you want to set the WINEPREFIX environment variable (It is a run-time option, not compile time) (Yu can export it to set it for all processes started from that shell, or you can use env / prefix it to the command to set it for every involkation) e.g. WINEPREFIX=~/.wine wine winecfg # Gets primary wineprefix's winecfg WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-cssource ~/.wine-1.3.6/bin/wine winecfg # Gets ~/.wine-cssource's winecfg using Wine binary from the compile wine 1.3.6 (reinstalling it into /usr/local might make more sense...)

To specify Wine's location for winetricks set WINE env var: Code: WINE=$HOME/.wine-1.3.6/wine winetricks To run wine builtin programs (winecfg, notepad, etc) use this command: Code: WINE=$HOME/.wine-1.3.6/wine winecfg

I installed Steam with wine-1.3.11 (wouldn't work for me using 1.3.8 ) downloaded CSS (which didn't work with 1.3.11) then deleted the associated 1.3.11 prefix files to use the install path to configure CSS with 1.3.8 .... anyways .. lol I had to do the following: 1. added 'gameoverlayrenderer' and disabled it via winecfg library 2. disabled all the notifications and game overlay in the steam client and CSS properties 3. added -window to the path because the full screen CSS was crashing immediately 4. install quartz (via winetrix) for some reason after a few crashes and some google searches I tried this and it worked? - not really sure if this helped at all tbh 5. winetricks(ed) allfonts (which errored) and separately winetricks(ed) tahoma to be sure 6. Adding http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=18679 to ..counter-strike source/cstrike/resource 7. set all settings to lowest possible setting then consoled 'net_graph 1' to see ping/fps when it did start up once 8. set resolution to 1440x900*** (8***) if I tried setting the resolution to my native res of 1680x1050 it would always crash and seemed to break it for the next few attempts so far it is bearable and i don't think i can improve it --> i can set 1440x900 as fullscreen once in the game and get pretty decent fps (spikes to 200 and avg ~70-80) one last question then i'll stop bloating this thread :) but using winetricks to install drivers - can their effect on the client (if suspected to not be helping) simply be turned off via winecfg > Libraries?
