Ubuntu and Day of Defeat Source

[littlespy]

I'm not sure why but for some reason day of defeat source isn't working right for me. Everything loads up alright and I connect to a server but it hangs at 'Sending Client Info' There are no errors in cedega it just hangs there, I let go for about an hour. Eventually cedega crashes, and I can even kill the x server with control + alt + backspace. If anyone can help me, I'm not really sure what logs or anything you would like to see but I can ofcourse send you them.

This same problem happened on my first AMD64 Ubuntu install, and now on a fresh x86 install.

for anyone else that might come across this problem, I started hl2.exe with the params -heapsize 512000 and -dxlevel 70 and dod:s booted right into game

I've had simular problems with CS Source (same engine). I was testing things out in XP and everything would work fine for a few days, and then suddenly, they stopped working in XP as well. I also have an AMD 64. In fact, after various seraches, I found that this problem seems to be related to the AMD 64 and Nvidia combo. usually, some combo of the following seems to fix the issue in wine, cedega and in windows:

-dxlevel 70 (force DirectX 7)
-32bit (force 32bit mode)

turning the audio to 2 speakers
using a windowed game instead of fullscreen
copying all files from the bin folder into the source folder. (so like copying all files in the \steam\username\cssource\bin folder into \steam\username\scsource)
