I've been trying to figure this out for days, but i cant understand why all games i run under wine crash, whether the wine appdb reports them as working or not. not even source engine games work, i get an "hl2.exe has encountered a serious error and needs to close. i tried changing the drivers for my video card (ATI Radeon 5770) and reinstalling them, i built all of wine's dependencies in the terminal. Any idea whats wrong?

Ok, i figured it out. The error was the result of ATI lacking proper support for their 5xxx series cards. I busted out my old 4850 and am using that for my steam games. Everythings working now WHEW...
