TF2....no text....help please

[Amstell]

Greetings,

I finally got TF2 working properly but the only problem I have is the fact that the text does not show up. I have the updated video drivers and am using .46 version of wine because it seems to be the only one that works properly. I have tried updating wine to the newest version but still doesn't show text. I do not have compiz running. Sometimes it shows up but very rarely. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Amstell

0.9.51 and 0.9.52 should work better for TF2 than 0.9.46, but I'm assuming you've tried those.

Are you running TF2 in dx8 mode, with the -dxlevel 81 switch? I've had similar, but not identical, screen issues when in DX9 mode with TF2...

Thanks for the reply. I tried adjusting all the levels from 70 - 95 and still not working. It is also changing the resolution of my screen and I can't change it back without restarting. Thanks for the help.

Cheers

Are you launching TF2 via Steam or desktop shortcut? I've had problems launching from the shortcut, where as going through Steam start up for me seems to be more stable.

For the resolution problem, check for "Allow the window manager to control the windows" under winecfg -> graphics.

I'm sorry that both of these solutions are kind of long shots, but I can't think of what else could be causing this. Can you list your video card for other people who maybe able to help you more?

I checked the settings and they are all fine. I do use steam to startup tf2. Thanks for your help but I can't seem to find anything on this issue.
