WINE + CSS launching but then closing

[Yuck]

Hi,

Just installed WINE and Steam+CSS. I've checked several guides and still struggling to get CSS to run. Here's the terminal output from trying to run from the command line with instructions found from a link from winehq, any help would be much appreciated.

Anyone any ideas?

Steam appears to be running just fine, same happens when I launch CSS from steam. I get the slash screen (fullscreen) of the 2 CTs and "loading" text then it drops me back to my desktop.

Im by no means a expert in this area, but are you using an ATi card by any chance?

If so, before you load the game from the steam gui, you can specify advanced loading options. I added -directx 81 to the command box, and it allowed me to run TF2 ok.

Just something for you to try. Of course if your not using an ATi card, then not sure if that would work.
