RE: HL2 Loading
by Anna K. on Thursday October 4th 2007, 15:11
I had this problem initially, and what happens is that HL2 expects there to be some sort of sounds device, as a result it basically hangs up trying to load it if you don't specify the sounds device in wine. To do so go into winecfg and select one of the sound devices (not sure off the top of my head, so just select one until it works) until you get sound, and then the game will load as it would normally.
