Summary: Half Life 2 mod The Hidden crashes after Product: Wine Version: 0.9.41. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: harrisonchen@gmail.com
I've been playing the half-life 2 mod "The Hidden" (beta 4) (url: http://www.hidden-source.com/) for awhile and I haven't had any problems. Then I tried joining a server ([BT]BrothersTrust :Hidden Source Beta4a) and The Hidden would stop at "retrieving server info" and then the game would crash. I am not sure if the problem is limited to that server. After this initial crash, every subsequent attempt to join any server has resulted in the same exact crash.
We found a workaround which is to delete all the half life 2 .gcf files, but this requires redownloading half life 2 and this takes a long time.
I am running Gentoo.
If any more info is needed I would gladly give it.
