nice that certainly makes it shorter

I finally got steam working with Counter-strike: Source but wow it is so
finicky. 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?
