Additional Comments
Day of defeat source runs, but it's laggy and have
performance drops and fps drops in close combat.
Game have Low fps, and are delayed.
All video settings= low, -dxlevel 81
hardware configuration:
Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4 Ghz
2 GB of RAM,
Soundblaster X-Fi Extremegamer
GeForce 9800GT.
NVIDIA Driver Version:185.18.36
If you would like Day of Defeat: Source to get more attention please vote for it!
So some things I've noticed that you need to get Day of Defeat to run better are:
Alsa-drivers (including all librarys and utils) >=1.0.13 (gets rid of weird sounds for me)
Also make sure to use the oss driver not the alsa driver. If you exerience weird sound issues using emulation instead of hardware.
Graphics driver for Nvidia users >=1.0.8774, ATI users >=8.29.6 (just out of curiousity has anyone with any other graphics card i.e. intel, sis, via, etc...gotten this to work?)
The betas from Nvidia work well also.
Xorg-x11 >=7.0 (anything less gets a performance hit for some reason (anyone else experience this?)
For both of the following make sure these are under the Depth 24. Day of Defeat: Source only plays at 32-bit (Depth 24)
For all 4:3 aspect ratios to show up in game, include the following in your xorg.conf:
640x480
800x600
1024x768
1280x1024
1600x1200
For all 16:10 aspect ratio to show up in game, include the following in your xorg.conf:
1280x960
1680x1050
1920x1200
If you are compiling this from source (like me a gentoo user) I've tested out a bunch of things and recommend the following versions to compile wine:
GCC 4.1.1 (latest stable, slightly larger binaries than 3.4.6 but faster nominally)
Currently the newest gcc 4.2 snapshot makes the game randomly crash. So I'd hold off on using the new compiler.
GLIBC >=2.4
Linux headers (gentoo users) or kernel version (everyone else) >=2.6.17
Known to run well on all versions after and including 0.9.23.
FAQ:
Q: It seems that dod source works once steam as been installed as it is
said in the steam section. But once dod is launched, steam stays in
focus and obstruct the screen. When I try to lower the steam window,
everything freezes and I must reboot the PC, the keyboard is not
responding!
Whats going on?
A: One of the known bugs with steam is that it always is on top and cannot be minimized, or else the system crashes. So if the steam window is still on your screen when you start your game, simply X out of it instead of trying to minimize it.

Hooray for updates! (Wine 1.1.27)
by Martin Schoch on Friday August 14th 2009, 12:44
Since my last attempt to run Day Of Defeat in Wine with DirectX 9, both DOD and Wine received an update. So it is not entirely clear whose bug fix improved things.
But either way, the HUD in DirectX 9 is now mostly functional for me. In particular:
-Flag status (at top of screen): works.
-Health and stamina bars: works.
-Crosshairs: works
-Equipped weapon and ammo display: still broken.
Retested on Wine 1.1.24
by Martin Schoch on Saturday June 27th 2009, 8:46
Just gave it a quick re-try under Wine 1.1.24.
System is
-dual core AMD with 2 x 2.4 GHz
-2 GByte RAM
-MSI NVidia 8600GT with 256 MByte RAM
-Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, binary NVidia driver.
The game runs quite well in DirectX 8.1 (game option -dxlevel81) window mode, only the fonts in server selection and console are a bit scrambled (but still readable). Full screen mode not tested.
Performance is acceptable at about 2/3 the FPS I get in Windows XP. On map Avalance, marketplace, only me logged in to the server:
Roughly 60 FPS in Wine vs. about 90 FPS in Windows XP.
When trying to run the game under DirectX 9 (game option -dxlevel9), however, the window goes black as soon as I try to proceed to the server selection. Totally unusable. This may, however, be partly the fault of Valve:
My Windows installation also shows graphics bugs under DirectX 9 after playing around with the -dxlevel81 option. So take this with a grain of salt. I'm too lazy right now to install Steam from scratch, which might give a more valid test result for DirectX 9.
Runtime Error when joining a server.
by hawake on Monday September 15th 2008, 4:24
When i join a server (both lan and internet) the game crashes with this error:
"Runtime Error!
Program: Z:\home\hawake\games\Day of Defeat Source\hl2.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
ALSA working now
by Martin Schoch on Tuesday May 27th 2008, 16:32
With the release of 1.0-RC2, ALSA became usable for me (crashed with ALSA in RC1, possibly due to the same bug that made Wineconfig crash when testing ALSA sound).
Otherwise, game works fine but a bit slow. Playable but bumpy in window mode, 1280x1024 pixel with high detail settings.
System is Ubuntu 8.04 with AMD dual core 2x2.4GHz, NVidia 8600GT and NVidia closed source drivers.
Directx 7, 8, and 9 Capable Cards render in Directx 6!
by D.J. Mac Farlane on Saturday May 3rd 2008, 21:04
For over a year I've been trying to get SOURCE Games to consistently render in the appropriate Directx Level on many different Machines. I've used Fedora 6, 7, 8, and only one of them has dependably rendered graphics in the Appropriate Directx setting. The Video cards I've used are a GeForce 2 MX 400, 3 GeForce 4 Ti 4200 cards, and a GeForce FX 5800 ultra card. THE -dxlevel command line options don't repair the Scorched and slow Graphics. All my systems are updated to Fedora 8 now with WINE 0.9.58 RPM version.
Back in the Fedora 6 day, I succeeded at getting the system with the FX5800 and one of the systems with a GeForce 4 Ti to render in Directx 8.1 with the Graphics normally at a reasonably good framerate too in Day of Defeat: Source. I've recently formatted and installed Fedora 8 on the system that previously worked with the GeForce 4 and installed livna's kmod-nvidia-96xx drivers (I think I used this version before). Now the Graphics are slow and scorched in all my Source Games and the Directx Level defaults to Directx 6. The dxlevel 70 dxlevel 80 and dxlevel 81 don't improve anything. I haven't tried Steam again yet on the system with the FX5800.
As for the other systems, they always defaulted to Directx 6 in Source Games no matter what version of Fedora or WINE I used. They always behaved in SOurce how the above system now behaves. Any help in getting this system to render Source games how it once did will probably give me some clues on how to fix SOurce on my other systems.

Items disappearing, white textures
by Arho on Monday March 17th 2008, 8:27
All physics-enabled items like boxes
disappears when they are far enough (10-15 meters).
This happens only in dod.
And all physics-enabled items are white. Not
completely, I can barely see some of the texture.
But if I hit or shoot them, or make them move, their
textures get normal, but they get white again when
they stop moving. Some other solid objects are white also.
Same happens with counter-strike source and half-life too.
In counter-strike source the objects don't disappear.
How do I make the textures to be normal and how do I make
the items to not disappear? Thanks.
Day of Defeat Source Crashes!
by Duncan Youngson on Tuesday February 12th 2008, 21:32
I can't run DOD:S using OpenSuse 10.3, steam installs just fine, but when I double click to play the game, the loading box opens, then the game opens ever so briefly (long enough to see the splash screen), before it crashes hard and disappears!
Really frustrating!

Video issues
by Andy Williams on Thursday December 27th 2007, 18:01
I have installed Steam and all three of the games from my CD to Wine. I fixed the issue with fonts but if i try to launch a game, any one of them, I get the Direct3D HAL driver is running and is having trouble with the game. If I choose to Continue anyway the game bombs. Not sure how to proceed from here.
Any suggestions? Be kind, I am a total rookie to ubuntu and Wine. I am running 7.10 of ubuntu.
Under Cedega I can push to 25fps, but reading some of the threads on here that's still low.
Secondly, I'd like to know how to tell WINE which sound device to use for the game - I've got a Sennehieser PC155 USB headset which I'd like to use for voice chat (it's all configured correctly and I know it works) but at the moment I'm getting no sound at all (I know all about the Steam Community bug and have a good workaround - it worked fine in Cedega - before Cedega decided to break Steam).
Error message
by Mark on Sunday October 7th 2007, 13:56
I can run DoD with no problem at all in WINE, yet when I load Steam and launch DoD:S, I get a pop-up that reads my drivers are outdated...Direct 3DHal version 6.14.0.0
I click "continue anyway" and the splash screen loads and then the game is just gone and I'm back at my Steam screen.
I can't find anything that will lead me to updating this driver, so any help would be appreciated.

Performance Problem with 0.9.45
by Joseph Williams on Wednesday September 26th 2007, 4:31
Hi all,
got a problem with the new release of wine. Day of Defeat (and any other game I have using Values Source engine) has suffer a major performance loss....
before I updated wine I was getting 30 - 50 FPS across all my Source games which is quite playable but now I am struggling to get a level started let alone get anything playable I am now getting 5< FPS and worst if god forbid I use a gun or even be near anything that is able to move. I have tried lowering all my game settings in every fashion I can think of but to no avail :-(
I don't have the power house gaming shrine that other do but still have what I consider a nice system
system spec:
Pentium 4 D 3.4Ghz
768MB RAM
Nvidia Geforce4 6600GT 128Mb
running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn
is anyone having the same problem.
any advice to fix this will be met with cheers of gratitude
Steam setup doesn't work
by Don on Sunday July 15th 2007, 21:04
I got it installed fine, however when the first screen that pops up after install for Steam shows up, everything is blank. I can see the buttons, but there is no text. It makes it a little difficult to guess which one I need to hit to continue. At a point, it becomes impossible to continue as I cannot tell what I need to enter in to finish setting up steam.
Pesky gnome-panel
by Todd on Thursday May 3rd 2007, 15:19
gnome panel always shifts the game window down as far as the panel is tall. i can avoid this by setting the panel to autohide but i would like a find a better solution. anyone know of any other workarounds?

FPS are same or better than Windows.
Strange Graphics Glitch
by Thomas McMahon on Wednesday January 10th 2007, 17:40
Hey Guys,
DOD:Source is working well on my Edgy box. I get between 25 - 70 FPS, and in gereral it works quite well. The only problem is I get this really weird graphics glitch every now and again.
What happens is the HUD disappears and there are multi coloured streams coming out of a point on the screen. Has anyone else seen anything like this?
