--- Comment #3 from Jason Bogstie jason.bogstie@gmail.com 2008-10-22 17:43:50 --- I am the maintainer for this game in the AppDB. Someone found a workaround that resolves this issue. Please see the AppDB entry for more information, but the basics is this:
People are almost universally having issues with the game crashing, in order to resolve this issue perform the following:
* Update to the newest version of wine found here * Launch winecfg * Under the 'Applications' tab select 'Add Application' * Browse to Program Files - Steam - steamapps - [steamloginname] - zombie panic! source - select hl2.exe and click 'open' This should add hl2.exe to your applications list in winecfg. * Select hl2.exe under the 'Applications' tab, click the drop-down menu for 'Windows Version' and select Windows 98. * Click 'OK'
This will force wine to run the game as windows 98 and any problems with crashing should be gone.
