--- Comment #19 from zilchonum zilchonum@gmail.com 2010-05-15 21:56:48 --- I've also experienced this bug several times in tf2 and looking at the feedback from GKrellM I can confirm that it is probably a memory issue. I think that perhaps wine has issues with paging memory (or maybe the page file isn't supported in wine, I don't know)?
I have also seen a similar effect in Call of Duty 4, where I could play any one level at a time but the game would hopelessly freeze upon loading another level without first going back to the level select menu. So this bug is not specific to steam games. However the CoD symptoms weren't as severe as tf2, I could still access the system monitor and kill the problematic processes, but when tf2 crashes none of the gnome hotkeys (ie alt-tab) work, and neither does the ctrl-alt-backspace combo for X.
