Hey guys, I am having a problem running steam on wine.
I am running the latest wine from the respos. and i am on hardy. 86 x64. I have a nvidia geforce 9600gt with the latest drivers installed.
When i try to install steam it loads fine with no errors at all. I can also log into steam with no issues. The problem i am having is that when i try to install a game using steam via interweb it just crashes. I thought maybe i could just go over to my windows half and copy my games over to my .wine/drive_c/Pgram/Steam / folder and when i launch steam again it shows my installed games but when i try to launch the game it just crashes again.
heres my output when i double click on a game from term.
err:shell:SHGetFileInfoW pidl is null!
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered

Double click the game icon in steam and steam just crashes and shows the output i have posted above.
Hi, I don't know, but I am quite sure you posted this:
Hello, I am using Ubuntu 8.04 x64 with wine-rc4 and cant get steam to install any game. Steam will work and let me navigate through the tabs/ect but once I click "Install Game" it crashes. I've tried several re-installs with no success. Here is my error message
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} could be created for context 0x1

On AppDB. Someone answered but you've already done that on your topic.
Moderator: please don't send people on the wild goose chase. The stuff you posted has nothing to do with Steam.
You know what, I got it running. It was an issue with the drivers after all. Steam didn't like the 173.14.09 drivers. I noticed they had 173.14.12 released i installed that and it worked great.
Steam works fine now, so do my games.
However i did notice something. Whenever i launch a game in steam it moves my custom added tool bar icons to the right.
Also, could you give me any suggestions to add performance to tf2, Its a bit choppy when i play. i get between 45-60 fps in bigger parts of the map.

What's your computer like? You could just have the settings up too high. I would take off any AA you might have to see if that helps. Other than that there isn't much you can do that won't have pretty dramatic effects on the visuals (I disabled ragdoll on my laptop).
edit: and 45-60 FPS really isn't that bad given that most movies run less than 32 FPS.
Hi, I don't know if this is possible in your game, but most source games support extra parameters to lower the gfx quality. You could add -dxlevel 81, -dxlevel 80 or -dxlevel 70 to lower gfx quality. I started CS:S with 70 but bumped into some texturing problems with some mods and moved to 80, but nowadays with my custom build it runs full speed. Maybe these will help you
Also, maybe lowring your display resolution will help? Are you running compiz in the background or something that could 'choppy' it?
