I did that thing where you set hl2.exe in the CSS folder to run as Windows 98 and where you have to put a certain patch into your cstrike/resource folder but to no avail.
And yes I have steam community disabled.

can confirm that.

Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04

I'll try to run it in console tomorrow.

I too cannot get source based games working. On 9.04 ubuntu. About 2 weeks ago i was able to get CS:S online and working in a server on 8.10 and then after format and installing 9.04 none works using the same settings. I installed 8.10 again and it still doesn't work. Not sure if wine was an earlier version or maybe a video driver difference between the latest nvidia driver.

I'll post what the error is when i get home

The proplem is that Ubuntu 9.04 uses Pulseaudio. You have to disable it. More info can be found googling "Disable pulseaudio 9.04 Ubuntu" or so on. I did this and source games started working again.

hmm, are you sure? audio itself works without problems...I'll try now.

*edit
it seems that you are right...

Code: Select all

pasuspender seems to be a good thing...will test it

*edit
okay, I've played now ~ 1 hour without crashing.

the command has to be executed in the Steam directory

Code: Select all

pasuspender -- wine ./Steam.exe

ARRRRRG! I HATE 9.04!
First the fact that its a pain in the ass to install proprietary gfx drivers (especially for ATI)
Nessus not working, now this.
I swear this is like the Oblivion of Ubuntu versions.
ie: ridden with bugs.
