Teamfortress 2 on Ubuntu 7.1

nipzor · Post by **nipzor** » Sun Feb 24, 2008 12:28 pm

So I installed Steam via Wine, launchign it, logging in, everything seems to work. When i try to launch a game (e.g. TF2) it will start the valve video, and i see the menu laoding screen, but then suddenly it will just exit and return to the desktop. when i first launched tf2 it told me that i need atleast direct x8, no idea why its not showing up anymore ( itried to install direct x after that but it didnt work). i have no idea what to do, asked several times in the irc but nothing could help so far. also, steam sais this:

I assume you mean 7.10 by 7.1, right? 10 = October in their system.
7.1 would mean a January 2007 release. Letting us know the version of
WINE would be helpful. Thanks!

Did other apps which need OpenGL work, e.g. glxgears?
What GPU-driver version did you have?

Did you disable "in-game steam community"?
Steam -> File -> Settings -> In-game disable "Steam Community In-Game".

just tell me step by step how to check such stuff and i tell you how it turns out, remember that i'm very new to this linux stuff

oh and i'll try it with a disabled steam community, maybe this works.

edit: disableing steam community did not make t work ;(

[quote="nipzor"]just tell me step by step how to check such stuff and i tell you how it turns out, remember that i'm very new to this linux stuff[/quote]

1. open a command line and type:
glxgears
-> post one result line (should look like this "26820 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5364.000 FPS")

2. open a command line and type:
fglrxinfo
-> post the output (I don't know if this works, but if not please say it)

3. Could you say which chip your GPU has?
(9200,9800,X800,X1600,X2600, ...)

That is your problem - ATi drivers still have lots of problems on Linux, especially under Wine. Wine uses lots more advanced features then most other native Linux programs.

First make sure you using the latest driver version available.

Not sure if this will do anything, could you try disabling GLSL? Add this to registry:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"UseGLSL"="disabled"

Ubuntu has a nice site with a couple of hints, e.g. this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI

To edit the wine registry you simply have to type this in a console window:
wine regedit
-> a window pops up, where you can add the posted key

And last but not least ... here is a link which you can read (if you speak german) http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/122521/15/ . It contains some useful information.

While my TF2 works under Wine, I get really poor performance. About half of what I get under Windows.

I've got GLSL disabled and OffScreenRendering set to fbo.

In-game Steam Community in Steam is disabled.

I'm running the 169.09 nVidia drivers using a 7600GS under Ubuntu 7.10.

glxgears gives me high performance, but if I let it run for a while, every line report gives me a lower number of frames with lower fps than the previous line. It never goes up, it always goes down.

Any other suggestions?
