portal

[trynet]

I'm trying to play portal, I've tried opening it with-
env WINEPREFIX="/home/tyler/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 400

and
env WINEPREFIX="/home/tyler/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 400 -dxlevel 80

but every time it opens, it gets to the "loading..." screen and closes with the message "This game has a minimum requirement of DirectX 8.0 to run properly"
I'll admit that I have no clue what I'm doing, never had the need to use wine before.

My guess would be that Wine doesn't emulate DirectX above 8.0. Try running portal with the -opengl flag. Since Wine emulates DirectX and doesn't actually use real DirectX, it'll probably run better that way anyway.

nope, still same error -_-
