I doubt it's an issue of DirectSound. I have Portal 2 working without issues (sound works, video settings on maximum, got 30+ FPS which is pretty much playable) on Debian Sid with wine 1.3.18 built by myself (repo's one is very old). NVIDIA GF 8600 GTS, drivers are 270.30. Recently an update of Portal 2 Steam version was released and they say they fixed some error handling and renderer crashes but this bug was not resolved though. I still have to use the skidrow crack to launch and play the game.
So, here we need confirmation from windows users. Does that Valve update fixed things for you?
Steampowered.com forums seems to suggest it hasn't been fixed in Windows yet...
Anyway, I finally got everything working with
-wavonly
switch. Because the -nosound seemed to help for the manu crash, I figured this would help by disabling directsound and playing all sound content as unpacked wav files.
So what I did so far was:
- install the game from DVD - apply skidrow patch & crack #2 - installed vcrun2005sp1, corefonts, vcrun2008 via winetricks - run the game with portal2.exe -console -wavonly
