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 TF2 files?
Oh, and when I go to the Steam Store, it always crashes.

I'm running 1.3.25 using Slackware 13.37 64-bit (I have the 32-bit multilib packages) and I'm updating to kernel 3.0 right now (2.6.39.3 before this upgrade).
bump for help TF2 says it needs to download update files and all of that, but before that starts it crashes.

Have you been to the Steam and TF2 Application Database pages in the Applications Database? http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9901 There is a VERY IMPORTANT note about a page and a half down about disabling the introduction, which may help in this case. Read through all of the most recent notes as well. James
I did, and it's not the intro I'm talking about. Had it been, I wouldn't be here asking about it since it's not the intro, but the game downloading updates when it opens the box and says: "Preparing to Launch Team Fortress 2..." Is when it crashes.
