Exit steam. Make sure Wine is not running (kill it if it does with 'wineserver
-k'). Run it from the terminal and attach (as a plain text file) complete
terminal output, including the command you used to start Steam.

I can confirm this bug(?). It affects "Half-Life 2: Ep 2" and "Portal" on my
steam installation. HL2 and HL2: Ep 1 work flawlessly.

It seems to be some weird interaction between wine and something on OpenSUSE
11.2 (the system I am running now). I still have my 11.1 installation lying
around and booting into that system with the same home directory (that is, the
same steam installation and the same .wine/* (including drive_c) allows me to
play those games without problems.

This should rule out a damaged steam installation.

On my 11.1 installation I have Wine 1.1.32, but that seems irrelevant as on
11.2 the problem appears with 1.1.28 (default repo) and 1.1.32, 1.1.33 and
1.1.34 (all from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_11.2).

Things that have changed since 11.1 include newer kernel (2.6.31 vs 2.6.27),
and newer fglrx 9.11 vs 9.10 although I seem to recall that it didn't work with
9.10 on OpenSUSE 11.2 either, so that might not be it.

I'll try to install some 11.2 packages on my 11.1 installation to see if I can
find the piece of software that breaks it, but I won't have much time on my
hands before Christmas so it might take a while. Any suggestions on what I
should try first?

This bug is most probably related to bug 20564 (same error with "day of defeat:
source")

After trying out all sorts of new and old packages for openSUSE I compiled wine
from git myself. The problem disappeared. To make sure this isn't due to some
new fix in wine itself I checked out the versions tagged 1.33 and 1.34 (i.e.
those corresponding to the SUSE packages I tried before) but in no
self-compiled version the "bug" showed up.

In my opinion this can be closed as invalid, packaging error downstream.
