* Works server browser
* Works local server with bots
* -console parameter works and open the in-game console
What does not
* With mat_dxlevel 80 runs but the Game still reading the hard disk about 10 minuts and Steam process is got stopped by not enough memory (linux kernel kill the process).
* Steam Friends does not run
* Game crashes when I try to search a server if Xfire is running, also with Xfire in-game chat disabled.
* Low fps comparated with Windows.
* With mat_dxlevel 90 there are shiny models.
* With the -dxlevel 70 launch parameter, the screen becomes to a "out of range" for the monitor (maybe a X server problem)
* Sometimes some textures become black.

All things going well, this game will work in current versions of wine (wine-1.0.1 and up) if you:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam && WINEDEBUG=-all wine steam -applaunch 240
Note: Your path might differ, depending on language and installation directory. This is default for English install.
Note2: Additional command line options go after-applaunch * not before. Ex: -applaunch 240 -dxlevel 80 -console
For better graphics quality you might want to use -dxlevel 90 command option and enable GLSL shaders via registry (save this to a "file.reg" then import with 'wine regedit file.reg'):
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D] "UseGLSL"="enabled"
Note: GLSL is enabled by default as of wine-0.9.49
For better performance use -dxlevel 80 or even 70 and the following game settings:
cl_drawmonitors 0 r_WaterDrawRefraction 0 r_WaterDrawReflection 0Also you can disable GLSL.
Thoughts -
(i) In the past Steam updates have been followed by serious errors running CS:S (or even just steam), including serious lockups. When running after an update, be sure that you're ready to
switch to another tty at the first sign of trouble - preferably having a "wineserver -k" sitting ready in it just in case. Just a thought.
(ii) Sound latency issues (skipping, popping as everything struggles to keep up) - most notably sudden lag during firefights can sometimes be cleared up by running "soundlist" in the CS:S console. This is a more general CS:S issue, nothing to do with wine.
If you have other good resource (at least as good as ones above) send vitamin a message with the link.
