Hi, Out of curiosity, has anyone successfully been able to play HL2 or CS:S under wine? Today I finally worked out the kinks getting the original HL to work, and I know some people have been playing around with this stuff. Currently, HL2 and CS:S freeze over on startup. Has anyone even gotten it to start or even play?
I've gotten it to start with Oliver Stieber's patches. However, at the time it was not playable, and had major glitches. Since then, Oliver has released a new patch - you can look at this work on directxwine.sf.net. I have not tested with that - appdb status needs update, but I want to track what's in CVS wine from now on.
At the moment HL2 does not work with CVS wine, but there are several large d3d patches posted this week that are not yet merged. I was also told that HL2 would not work until proper memory management is put in place for surfaces...
