Additional Comments
I get stable 100FPS with 'Sync to VBlank' turned off; playing on the OpenGL renderer. Played both on bots and some servers in multiplayer - i didn't encounter any problems (besides MOTD not working*)
And i find it funny that CS doesn't crash when i'm changing it's screen resolution in options. It almost always crashed on Win7 when i did that.
Tested on:
- Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz,
- EVGA GeForce 9800GTX 512mb RAM,
- 2x2GB GeiL DDR2 Ultra 800MHz,
- Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer.
* I've been playing this game for more than 4 years, and through all this time i recall only one server using MOTD for other purpose than advertisement. I find it pretty useless this days...
The second trick was so useful that I should thank the person for this. I love this game so much. Thanks for making it playable in Linux under wine. Thank you, wine.
Solving the problem with audio delay
by Aleksey on Saturday February 5th 2011, 14:07
it is enough just to put in the settings "winecfg > Audio > ALSA (emulation driver). And in the game settings to register the console _snd_mixahead "0.012". If there is a wheezing sound, increase the value _snd_mihahead.
New config is Karmic Koala with Wine 1.2. Emulated desktop.
Minimizing / desktop switching works fine when run on an emulated desktop. Sound only lags behind fractions of a second.
From time to time, performance goes down for about 2-3 seconds. I can't tell if this is related to my system, but I don't have a slow laptop at all.
The most annoying bug is the mouse not reacting for several seconds. That happens eventually and while it's more than a nuisance anyway, it can really render a serious match unplayable.
Steam functions (ingame menu, chat) don't seem to work. At least the shortcut doesn't.
