Summary: Source engine games don't even launch Product: Wine Version: 1.3.9 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: JimiJames.Bove@gmail.com
If I launch any game that uses hl2.exe, the launching window will finish and close, the process will pop up in the process monitor for a few seconds, and then just go away. The game never launches. I don't know if I have to specify any debug mode, but simply running it in the terminal provides zero output during the launching of the game.
This has been going on since 1.3.6 or 1.3.7, though it wasn't those updates that caused it. Nothing at all on my computer, in fact, was updated when this problem popped up, and updates for both WINE and Steam haven't fixed it, nor has running winepulse or killing PulseAudio before launching WINE. It also isn't fixed by every step that Valve and the Wine AppDB offer for fixing issues, including -nointro, -dxlevel81, and disabling Steam Community In-Game. It isn't fixed by a virtual desktop or a different Windows version setting. That's all I've tried so far.
I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 x64, kernel version 2.6.32.22.23 and I miss playing GMod and TF2 :(
