Random Freezes and Hangs with looping sound fix by dale on Saturday June 23rd 2012, 0:10 Okay I'm posting this in hopes it helps someone else. After recent steam and wine updates I suddenly started getting random freezes and hangs with repeating sound usually within ten minutes of game play super annoying. A search of the internet revealed this old link from 2007 which I tried and wholaa! It was fixed played over three hours with no freeze or hangs. I typed regedit in terminal and followed instructions I did have to create a PagePoolSize in registry since it was non existent for my wine config and then I input the value for the 384MB per link instructions and now all is well.

Nvrm XID crashes with Wine > 1.3.18 by Frozen Fox on Friday May 11th 2012, 13:41 While on the subject of issues with the game, it will occasionally hang on me for any wine version newer than 1.3.18 that I have tried and the nvidia drivers will leave errors in the console as follows below. With 1.3.18, I've played for months with zero crashes, but I can't play one day with newer stuff without it hanging every hour or two. It seems to be possible sometimes to work around this via CTRL+ALT+F1 then back to CTRL+ALT+F7, but only half the time or so. I usually just force kill it. I have tried MANY Nvidia driver versions and Xorg server versions and kernels etc and found no change in behavior. I would report a bug, but TF2 hangs in Windows 7 in an identical fashion in about the same amount of time and always has (hence why I played it on Wine). Accordingly, I suspect that it may be an issue caused by my video card being defective in some minor way that code in newer releases of wine (which are more similar to Windows than 1.3.18 I guess) somehow triggers. I have no idea though. Anyway, the messages: [68556.257904] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 13, 0001 00000000 00005097 00000100 0fffea00 00000100 [68581.200077] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 8, Channel 00000001 [68583.200048] NVRM: os_schedule: Attempted to yield the CPU while in atomic or interrupt context [post new] [reply to this]

Remapping mouse tilts to middle click by Frozen Fox on Friday May 11th 2012, 13:32 I had trouble in many first person shooters (but epsecially TF2) where sometimes the sensitivity of the middle mouse button to tilting would cause Wine to press "Mouse4" or "Mouse5" (the side mouse buttons) when I wanted to click the middle mouse button instead. I have middle mouse and the side mouse buttons all bound to different weapons, so I would occasionally have the incorrect weapon switch. This is apparently because mouse tilt operations are supposedly complicated and hackish in other OSes, so it would be difficult for wine to implement; thus, they just the map mouse tilts to Mouse4 and Mouse5 respectively. That is my impression from the discussion, anyway. Take it with a grain of salt. Either way, see some thread on the matter: forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=45306&sid=0dd7f8858b3e6a1c91ba1bd232367664 Well, I made a patch to work around this by remapping both of the mouse tilts to middle click. I suspect someone out there may find a use for this too. Note that I don't pretend to have any idea what I'm doing or what this patch really means other than tinkering in the source code and hoping something works with some vague idea of what it seems to be doing, so YMMV and be warned. That said, this patch has worked exactly as I wanted it to for a very long time with no downsides I have found. All I needed to do was edit dlls/winex11.drv/mouse.c and the mousevent stuff. pastebin.com/7MFc29Xy [post new] [reply to this]

Easy Fix for Pulseaudio TF2 no audio by pizzadude on Monday December 26th 2011, 21:12 I created a fix for people who use Pulseaudio and don't want to get rid of it but still want to play TF2 and other steam games with sound. www.mediafire.com/?e6z6b135qv8xnch The files are "PulseOn" and "PulseOff". You can check the source if you want. Basically what they do is they turn pulseaudio on and off with a chmod -x and chmod +x command. It is more effective than doing killall pulseaudio because pulseaudio re-opens as soon as you've started the game. But sometimes when turning it on and off you will lose sound so if that happens, just log out and log back in. (from my experience) Works for me in Ubuntu 11.10 . [post new] [reply to this]

CMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer by urfaust on Tuesday December 13th 2011, 18:13 Currently, I am running the latest version of Wine and Steam on Ubuntu 11.10. TF2 has been successfully installed and will open up to the main screen. Here, I am then able to choose a server and load into it... However, before it fully loads in, the whole game crashes and I am left with this error: failed to lock vertex buffer in CMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer. I suspect that this may be because I am not able to download the ati/amd proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates) (at least not without getting a "/var/log/jockey.log" error). I don't know... I would love to know how to fix this, but I can't really find the answers anywhere.

Bad Performance by mhdevel on Tuesday November 1st 2011, 4:33 I want to buy either a new cpu or a new graphics card hoping for better performance while playing tf2. Actually, i have a Core2Duo E8400 2x3GHz and a GF 8600GTS 256MB. Also available is a GF 9600GT 512MB. - The game runs a bit better with the newer graphics card, but not that much. a simple "top" while playing in virtual Desktop tells me 130%CPU on HL2.exe (multicore rendering), with roundabout 20% idle time. - this number is valid for both available cards.

Game Crash After Checking Mic Settings? by Josh on Friday October 28th 2011, 7:33 Since about the time that the Manniversary update came out, I've not been able to use voice chat in TF2. If I test my mic settings before joining a server, the echo test works fine, but TF2 crashes, outputting the following before having a page fault: "Assertion 'b' failed at pulsecore/memblock.c:451, function pa_memblock_acquire(). Aborting." If I join a server before testing mic settings, the game behaves as though I have no audio input device selected (can't talk and the mic test immediately ends after clicking the test button).

I've tried it on all different settings, but nothing seems to make a difference. Any ideas? Thanks! [post new] [reply to this]

TF2 outright fails to launch, HL2 and Portal work fine by Max Eliaser on Sunday July 24th 2011, 2:17 I see hl2.exe momentarily in the process list, then it disappears. This is with Wine 1.3.24 from the Ubuntu Lucid PPA, however I've been trying to run TF2 on and off since I bought the Orange Box in January of this year, so this bug must have existed in older versions of Wine as well. I'm running 32-bit Linux Mint. Here is my lshw output: pastebin.com/vAghsngW Things I have tried: * Setting -novid, -nointro, -console, and/or -dxlevel 80, 81, 90, or 95 * Setting hl2.exe to Windows 98 compatibility mode (I've reverted this, Portal and HL2 work without it) * Redownloading TF2 altogether * Using a copy of the hl2.exe from Portal instead * Disabling gameoverlayrender in winecfg (this was not needed in order to get Portal and HL2 working) Once again, I'd like to point out that HL2 and Portal both work just fine with -novid -nointro -console -dxlevel 81. And Portal at least seems to work with some minor stuttering without ANY OF THOSE TWEAKS OR OPTIONS AT ALL. (HL2 also reaches the main menu without any options, but I haven't tried playing it like that.) Left4Dead is currently downloading, when it finishes I will test that as well. Here is a log of me trying the various games by manually launching the hl2.exe executables. HL2 and Portal both worked, but TF2 didn't even open a window. pastebin.com/p4Aqebcx Does anyone know any more tests I can do? Thanks, -Max E. [post new] [reply to this]

system mouse cursor visible, flickering? by John on Tuesday July 12th 2011, 17:50 Recently I've started having this issue where the system mouse cursor is visible in-game, moving around and flickering when playing. I thought it might be related to something a different steam application installed, so I set up Steam/TF2 in a clean wine prefix, with no luck (1.3.23 or 1.3.24). Is anyone else seeing this? It doesn't affect gameplay, but it's quite annoying. [post new] [reply to this]

Weird stuff! by Pepy on Monday July 11th 2011, 9:13 Ok, bros I'm running on the following config: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz 4GB Ram Nvidia 9800 GT 512MB (drivers installed from the additional drivers menu) Kubuntu 11.04 (x86_64) Wine 1.3.23 I have the latest (I think) Wine, I've set the hl2.exe settings to Windows 98, I've even added the DirectX files, Visual C++ 2005 and .NET Framework 2.0 through winetricks and things still don't work out as they should. I've installed Steam exactly through the method on the Steam page here at WineHQ (with allfonts, corefonts, gecko, tahoma, etc.) and I'm starting TF2 through the method given here: WINEDEBUG=-all wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam/steam.exe -applaunch 440 -nointro and I also add -dxlevel 81 to the startup settings. Still, TF2 doesn't run very good. Average framerate is about 20 on the absolute lowest settings (multicore rendering enabled, mat_picmip 2; r_rootlod 2; cl_forcepreload 1 and everything low and vsync off from the Video Settings Advanded options). Only at a killcam I get fps above 40-50 even 60. I tried running it with the -gl startup command to be in OpenGL mode but that doesn't work either. Neither does the -32bit command. What should I do? I've seen people with Dual Core processors, less ram and worse video cards than mine and still they get a very good experience. Is there a way to fix this? [post new] [reply to this]

TF2 Serious Mouse Glitching. by Carl Moore on Saturday June 4th 2011, 17:27 So, since TF2's most recent update, the viewpoint jumps to the bottom of the screen, and the character is left looking at the floor every few seconds in-game, making it unplayable, and reducing the rating to Garbage for the time being.

Mouse auto movement by Mark S on Saturday March 5th 2011, 17:42 Hello all, In TF2, the mouse automatically moves towards the ground, rendering the game unplayable. This happened in the previous version of WINE, but it was fixable by restarting X. Now, I am unable to resolve this quandry with the latest WINE update. Checking 'reverse mouse' in the Team Fortress 2 options moves my mouse slowly upwards, which does not help in the slightest. Enabling 'Raw input' for the mouse prevents me from looking up, down, left, or right, but I can still fire my weapon. Any ideas? Thanks [post new] [reply to this]

To save some others the trouble and time, let me repeat it: "Multicore rendering still glitches out the lights and doesn't help performance."

Major framerate boost & FPS stability increase by Robbie on Friday October 1st 2010, 22:01 I just found that -disabling- AMD Cool'n'Quiet solved all my framerate issues. Yesterday, I was getting around 30-40fps, dropping into the teens during action-packed sequences(performance got signifigantly worse after last TF2 update). I noticed that my CPU wasn't staying at its full 3.2ghz speed during gameplay - Conky showed it dropping to 800mhz occasionally! After disabling Cool'N'Quiet, I'm getting ~40-60fps with DX8.1 and all setting maxed(full-size window at 1920X1080 res, 4x AA), increasing to ~80fps with DX8.0 - If I lock the maxfps to 60(120hz monitor), I get -consistent-, if not perfect performance, something I could never get before. You should be able to turn it off in the bios, OR, you should be able to do it on the fly with this command(run as root - sudo wouldn't work for me): echo 'performance' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor and to re-enable it: echo 'ondemand' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor [post new] [reply to this]

Enabling antialiasing - WINE Registry Hack by Dan on Tuesday September 14th 2010, 16:46 I mentioned in my AppDB review that Antialiasing wasn't available for TF2. After some searching, it looks like there's a way to enable some form of antialiasing hack for WINE, which then exposes it to TF2, allowing it to be used. If you add the registry key "Multisampling" (value "true") to the WINE registry at HKCU/Software/Wine/Direct3d/, you'll see x2 and x4 MSAA options in TF2. It does what it's supposed to, because everything here looks a lot less pixelated that way. [post new] [reply to this]

Sound Problems - Workaround!(?) by Matthäus Janiczek on Monday September 6th 2010, 15:34 Hi, i've just realized, that if you loose sound while playing you can restore it. Simply open the audio Options (while playing) an change from "headphones" to "2 Speakers" or the other way round and then click "apply". For me it restores the sound. Can anybody test and confirm it?

Wine 1.3.0 by Jack Diaz on Saturday July 31st 2010, 1:36 Anyone else having rendering issues with the new Wine 1.3.0? both TF2 and L4D2 (haven't tested the rest of my Source games) are rendering upside down.

Unexpected slowness by Nick Lawson on Thursday July 22nd 2010, 23:44 Using the +showbudget command in the console indicates some interesting performance issues under wine. * On a busy scene, in a paused demo playback (so that nothing is changing on screen), the framerate fluctuates between ~30fps and ~45 fps in blocks of about 1 second, like a square wave. Very odd. * For some reason, the gui is eating up more time than world rendering. 10-15ms sometimes for me. Now, turning on +showbudget (remove with -showbudget) makes the VGUI increase slightly becuase its rendered with the VGUI, but this is seriously drastic, easily 15ms or more per frame (which is worth like 30 fps on its own).

Audio-related crash? by Dan on Wednesday May 19th 2010, 21:35 Recently when I've been playing TF2 (as well as a few other Source-based games), at some point during play (usually not too long in, maybe 10 minutes or so?) the audio will cut out and the game will crash about a minute afterwards.

Mouse focus and synergy by Edward on Monday April 5th 2010, 20:55 It seems, since I'm using synergy-plus, the mouse is able to escape when I'm moving it very quickly, and jump over to another computer - usually when I am in the middle of a firefight. This is no good at all, and usually ends up with me dying. I've tried applying the patch to use XInput2, and even when I enable all the tracing for x11drv, I don't see XGrabPointer ever being called. Am I confused in what XGrabPointer does? Would it maybe be a good idea to change the timeout between mouse warps to 5 instead of 10? Any thoughts on how to fix this problem, anyway?

Gold rating ? ? ? by MoKraD on Saturday February 20th 2010, 4:18 Edward, How can you put a gold rating for TF2 while TF2 suffers on a terrible bug when pushing on tab key and crash a the end of the round ? I play on TF2 with wine since more than 2 years (350 h on linux) and It's the first time that the situation is so critical. Like I think and as explain Jeff Cook on if test summary (rejected by Vitamin), the TF2 rating must be "Bronze, but borderline garbage, since it crashes when one does something basic like check score or play until the end of the round."

wineserver leeching cpu used by hl2.exe by Johny Doofus on Saturday February 6th 2010, 11:33 team fortress runs smoothly on my comp in middle/high settings, with a nice framerate. Suddenly, the framerate drops to unbearable levels and it'll only go back to normal if i restart the game. After using the system monitor to find out what's going on, i found that, while team fortress 2 is running fine, the %CPU used by hl2.exe is around 50. Then, when the framerate drops, i find wineserver using around 30/40% CPU while hl2.exe won't be higher than 10%. i'm using wine 1.1.7 and i tried reinstalling the game multiple times.

Team Fortress 2 slow performance compared to other source games like HL2EP2 by Esko Mörkö on Thursday July 30th 2009, 6:27 Performance is quite horrible in team fortress 2 (5-20 fps) compared to Half-Life 2 Episode 2 (30-60fps). When everything is set to highest possible and runnign in dx9 mode (Can't enable AA). Half-Life 2 Episode 2 runs perfectly without any artifacts, but team fortress 2 seems to have some oddities like waters flickering and odd reflections. Also it's curious that team fortress 2's performance doesn't change at all even if I set to lowest possible and to dx80. Shouldn't tf2 be more easier for gfx card than hl2ep2?

Inflated gold ratings *again*? by Sam Skipsey on Tuesday July 14th 2009, 10:45 "Text and HUD not visible in DX9 mode" (which is the default mode) doesn't rate a gold rating for this game ;) At best, it is silver (game works excellently for "normal" use). This is especially the case because many people still seem to have sound problems in Ubuntu, which adds to the list of issues the game has. [post new] [reply to this]

Glitchy. by Jack Diaz on Friday July 10th 2009, 11:38 TF2 is all glitchy when I play in any server, exactly the same when you 're disconnecting from a server you're moving foward but getting pushed back. I'm using dxlevel81 after attempting to use dxlevel90 but the game was to slow and the models were all distorted and stretched out. I've disabled Pixel Shared but I need to keep it enabled or I get an error message saying that I need at least Pixel Shared 1.1.

TF2 broken in June 8 patch by John on Thursday June 11th 2009, 10:48 The other night I got the most recent patch from Steam, and now TF2 is completely broken and un-playable :( For whatever reason, I can log in Steam just fine, but now whenever I launch TF2 either the game will immediately crash to desktop after the intro movies are done (when it gets to the loading/menu screen) or it will get to the main menu screen and stay in "Loading..." mode (the bottom right hand corner says saying its loading). The fix's I've tried are: -Tweaked dxlevel's -Uninstalled the game -Reinstalled in it's own WINEPREFIX None of these worked. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

DirectX 9 mode Offscreen rendering error by Alex Lee on Tuesday May 26th 2009, 11:25 Running under DirectX 9 suffers from lack of offscreen rendering. e.g. the main menu background is black, in-game tab menu does not display, item previews missing.

Terrible FPS by Jordan on Saturday May 2nd 2009, 13:42 The fps I'm getting while running this game under wine are awful. I've got an opty 165 and an 8800gt.

Engine Error *FIX* by Ken on Monday April 13th 2009, 4:18 When you get this error: CAudioSourceMemWave (*\*.wav): GetDataPointer() failed. Go to your voice options and unclick the 'boost microphone' go to servers and connect. Your in-game sound should work. You will have to do this everytime you start TF2, for some odd reason this option does not save. In fact, if your try to edit out the microphone settings in the config.cfg it will not fix the problem. Unchecking that box before starting a game seems to work if you join a server; it does not work if you try to start your own server. It's an extremely temperamental bug but this works well and you don't have to remove pulse audio to do it. [post new] [reply to this]

TF2 Overheating by Chris Bauer on Monday April 6th 2009, 1:11 Around the time I updated to wine 1.1.18, the AGP and CPU sectors of my box began overheating after about 15 minutes of play. It seems strange to me that Wine may be the culprit, but I can't figure out anything else that changed since the overheating began. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 on an AMD dual core CPU with nVidia video card. If anyone has any suggestions or tests I could try I'd appreciate it. Thanks. [post new] [reply to this]

Freezes after playing for 10 mins or so *SOLVED* by Ken on Wednesday March 25th 2009, 3:26 Okay. Not sure if this is the exact same issue some of the "freezes randomly" people are having, but I am sure it is relevant to someone. Set your textures to the lowest possible and work your way up until you can play stable for long periods of time. I have a GTX 295 and it still crashes after 20 mins on 'VERY HIGH' but I play tested for 3 hours straight on 'LOW' and for about 45 minutes on 'MEDIUM'. I believe this is a texture caching issue, and I'm sure those of you with older cards might be having issues even on 'low'. Maybe there is another registry entry that would be beneficial. Any ideas?

Recommended fix by Ben "Diskmaster" Lierman on Saturday March 21st 2009, 21:10 In order to load certain maps, the registry entry for VideoRamSize needs to match the installed video card. Otherwise TF2 (and other source based mods) can't lock the vertex buffer. [post new] [reply to this]

Can anyone recommend a better version of wine to play this on, because the performance otherwise is awesome. Otherwise I'll just wait until newer versions of wine. [post new] [reply to this]

need specifics by Ramy on Tuesday August 19th 2008, 4:46 using Wine 1.1.2 running steam in windows XP mode on Ubuntu Hardy i type this command: wine C:/Program\ Files/Steam/Steam.exe -dxlevel 81 then i have to wait a bit for my game list to load correctly. this takes a minute or 2. starting TF2 is fine. i get valve splash and then i get a menu for TF2. but the background is black. not sure if it's supposed to be that way. when listing servers, fonts do not render. when playing, HUD does not render. there are no other problems. someone said dxlevel 81 was supposed to fix the HUD no? there must be something i am doing wrong when punching in the command through the terminal. my command must be wrong or something. important to note: i can not start TF2 straight from the desktop icon created. it gives an engine error and can not start tf2.

Sound cuts out randomly? by Daniel Metzger on Friday August 15th 2008, 0:23 Using WINE 1.1.2 here. The sound cuts out randomly. Rebooting TF2 fixes it, even though Steam doesn't need to be rebooted. Any clue? [post new] [reply to this]

Laptop performance = desktop performance? by James on Saturday August 9th 2008, 18:09 I have installed TF2 for the first time on my Gentoo amd64 laptop. Strangely enough, the performance of this game is virtually identical on both my laptop and desktop~! laptop: 1.4ghz C2D, 2gb ram, 8400m GS desktop: 2ghz athlon64x2, 2gb ram, 8800gt *scratches head* [post new] [reply to this]

Performance Issues by James on Tuesday August 5th 2008, 23:02 Has anyone had any problems with this game becoming *extremely* demanding in recent wine versions? Right now, with 1.1.2, it is virtually unplayable for me. I'm running it with Gentoo amd64 linux, with a 2ghz dual core Athlon64 and a 8800gt. I will be upgrading to around 3.2ghz with a new processor soon, so I'll see if that improves performance any. For now though, I have to stick to windows with this. [post new] [reply to this]

Latest Team Fortress 2 Issues/Guidelines by Godlkwrth on Sunday August 3rd 2008, 10:30 Using WINE 1.1.2 + NVIDIA 173.14.12 + Kubuntu 8.04.1 i386 I get fairly good results w/ the July 29th update of Team Fortress 2. This system has a 512MB 8600GT w/ the following settings in user.reg "DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl" "Multisampling"="enabled" "OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo" "PixelShaderMode"="enabled" "UseGLSL"="enabled" "VertexShaderMode"="hardware" "VideoMemorySize"="512" Using -dxlevel 90 sometimes works but usually results in an entirely black screen. When -dxlevel 90 does works the graphics are impressive but the HUD fails to render. With -dxlevel 81 the settings can be closed to maxed out in the Video option pane and the HUD will render. I was able to trigger a bug in the nvidia driver I believe by maxing out my settings, however I believe this is unrelated to WINE. There is an issue that still exists however which I think can be fixed. Whenever water is approached on ctf_2fort there's a small "reflection" in the lower left-hand corner. I believe this occurs w/ HDR enabled (but I'm not sure). I'll try to post a pic to demonstrate. [post new] [reply to this]
