Team Fortres 2 under wine

[gres]

I have Fedora 8 test 3 x64 and it work fine but I can’t run Team Fortress 2 under wine. Steam is working I can see that TF2 was downloaded 100% but when I I pres run nothing happen. I can’t put any errors because doesn’t know how to get them from wine. But if you have a advice regarding Team Fortres 2 and wine can you please tell that to me?

I have Vista on another partition as well and TF2 works there. But I need TF2 on linux.

Have you run any other valve games in Wine?

I can run it without a problem, just with some extra commands in STEAM: -novid, -h xxxx -w xxxx.

I think there was a direct x level command that might help. Might be 80. Not sure. It is a lot slower though.

Good Luck!

In order for it to run you have to disable some things first, disable(in steam settings) steam community in-game. Also if your tf2 starts in directx9.. you may want to use a command to have it run via directx8.
I can run tf2 under linux but the fps is bad, I'm sure if I lowered some stuff it might be playable but under windows I have everything on high and it runs nicely, wine has a ways to go.. Perhaps it needs more ram witch I didn't have, maybe that's why.. doubt it lol I'm getting another ram stick in a few days though so it will be interesting to see how it reacts under windows even. Just disabling in-game chat if I remember correctly made it run for me but let us know what's up?

cxgames is better than wine or cedega or playonlinux. try that, steam all works good for me on it.

[stephanie.steve]

Steam works but do the games? Still probably need to disable that setting unless they updated that finally..

What's team fortress? Is it like counterstrike?

Check out the third post in this page explaining about tf2 and including some links on what it actually looks like. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=197815

probably not really except for maybe a weapon or 2.. it is fun though

What cave have you been living in?
Team fortress has been around longer that counterstrike and is not really similar. Its more a different type of game.

Try passing --dxlevel=80 or --dxlevel=81
In Steam under "My Games" right click Team Fortress 2 and click properties you'll see a place to add startup options. Try add what I wrote above. Thats one of the things I do when running TF2 under cxgames.
