    Re: How To: Steam Counter-Strike Source Edgy WINE

    I'm having a problem with Steam, maybe you can help.

    I followed the instructions for getting the Tahoma font, and it's sitting in my fonts directory and everything, but Steam still runs without any words.

    I even tried it with a different Tahoma.ttf, but that didn't do anything. Any advice?

    There is a switch for CSS to force GL, I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes.
    Can be run with the following command line switch -gl, I have however not tried it yet.

    You can also bump up performance by knocking down the H/W DX Level. Default is 9.0, I run it at 8.1 which seems to be a bit quicker. The switch for it is -dxlevel 8.1.
    This helped me a bit.

    The following switches may also help for improving performance.
    -gl "Force Open GL"
    -dxlevel xx "70 = DirectX 7.0, 80 = 8.0, 81= 8.1 etc.

    Direct x 8.1 provides the best balance between Performance and prettiness.

    The switches can be added under properties inst my games menu of steam.

    when I run
    Code:
    wine SteamInstaller.exe
    any suggestions?

    You made a typo on the filename

    Try this instead!
    Code:
    wine SteamInstall.exe
    Good luck

    I'm pretty sure I typed in right in the consol. I tried it a couple times, but now I have it installing of my cdrom.
    One thing though, last time I tried to minimize the steam window it froze my computer. Im hesitant to do it again, but is this a known problem and is there a fix?

    From what I can tell the -gl option doesn't offer much of a performance boost but it does seem to eliminate a lot of the graphical glitches I was getting without it.

    Yeah you can't hit minimize at all, you always have to hit exit.

    My specs are: 1.7ghz 512 MB ram and a Radeon 9600 64mb graphics card

    [off topic] Just by curiosity, do you have any performance benchmark in running native in Windows versus running it with wine on Ubuntu?

    And when you say 1,7 ghz CPU, which is the exact model

    Me personally, I don't rember what my processer is its like AMD Sempron Its clockspeed is only 1.7 so since its an AMD that means its like 2.

    Edit: Wow....I recorded Shift-F1, Shift-F2,Shift-F3,Shift-F4 to the workspaces, and it switches really fast in-game.
