Additional Comments
Occasionally, but rarely a particular sound will drop out; like only weapon firing sounds. This is possibly a platform independent bug. Any background service like akonadi or notifier daemons can slow the games overall performance a little. I notice intermittent short (fractional seconds) lockups during action, and the first time I start a game I will lock up for about 10 seconds some time several minutes after starting to play. This may be a system issue (quad 2.4GHz Q6600,4Gb DDR2, 512Mb 8800GT) but I feel it's possibly related to wine too. I would be grateful to hear of what lightweight window managers others are using. I can't be sure, but wine 1.5.8 feels better for raw frame rate then the previous few versions I have used. It's been years since I used windows, but I doubt that it was ever better than the performance I now get from Kubuntu 12.04 and wine, for running L4D2. Very bummed that DX8 isn't supported, as that alone nearly doubles my framerate in TF2. Would love those fps in L4D2 also. I start game from steam with: -novid -noborder -windowed -width 1680 -height 1050 -console Specifying -heapsize 2097152 is something I have done. But for some reason I removed it. Will try to remember to figure out if thats useful or not.

To change startup settings, right-click on the game in Steam, select
"Properties, then "Set launch options...". You can add any of the
following options, seperated by a space.
If you have multiple screens, you'll probably find that the game tries to stretch over all screens, instead of just one. In this case, you'll need these options:
