wine users - May 2012 - Portal 2 disappears on initial loading screen

Hi,

I've got a problem playing portal 2 on steam through wine. It starts to
load, I get the valve and source logos that come up after opening the game but
as soon as it goes to the loading page (before the main menu) it just vanishes,
without any error. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? The AppDB says the
game works fine in general. I've also managed to play other games on my pc
through steam, like portal 1 and team fortress 2, though they initially loaded
into a resolution that was 'out of range' for my monitor, but this was
easy to fix. I've tried running portal 2 in safe mode and also forcing it to
use a specific resolution but it still just disappears. Anyone know what to do?

1. Run it from the terminal so you can get useful information.

Thanks for the reply.

I've run it in the terminal and pasted the log.txt contents where you said.
