Thanks for the tip. I have noticed that the initial load on any of the Source games isn't that bad on my machine (about 10 seconds.) Are you actually able to play any of these games?

To make it easier entering HL2 menu, you can disable the animated background and kill the start video.
Here is my hl2 tweaking guide:

I have to update it after my exams. Suggestions are welcome :)
The howto section will be wiki like soon (I hope end of july).

Wow, you're not kidding... ;-) I did have some better luck with HL2 deathmatch and CS:Source though. I can create servers and actually try to play, but currently the mouse movement is way too sluggish. If you give it a second or two to compensate for the slowness, weapon firing animations are pretty fluid, but only for a few seconds. You can even walk around somewhat. Hey, it's a start :) I can give you some screenshots of the multiplayer stuff if you like.

Hi Ivan, Yesterday I read your posts on the list saying that you're able to get HL2 to run with some patches.
The only patch that I'm using outside wine-cvs is here: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2005/03/0504.html
It's necessary to let you type the Steam password and download HL2 over the web (since MSI still doesn't work).
That's great--I can't wait to see it actually be playable. :)
You'd have to wait a bit more, currently it's way too slow (I really mean this...). I'll post some screenshots on appdb when it becomes playable with cvs.
