Half-Life 2 crashing with Wine 1.1.43 on Ubuntu 10.4

Hey guys,

I'm new to this forum and also to Linux. I hope this problem is not caused by my lack of knowledge, but I would guess not. Hopefully^^.

As the title says, I try to play Half-Life 2 with Wine, which is listed as platinum in the Appdb, so I expected no problems. But unfortunately, the game is crashing when I want to start a new game. I see the loading bar filling, but when it's almost done, the game crashes. Here is the console output, as far as I could reach it:

Code: Select all

I killed the process in the end as you can see, it was listed as "Zombie".

I did use winetricks before to get "The Path" running though. But I just downloaded the "d3dx9_36.dll" and limited this overriding to this game only.

I have a ATI RAdeon HD 4870 as GPU and the catalyst 10.4 (the driver the was included in Ubuntu 10.4).

I hope someone can help me. If you need to know any further details, I would be glad to offer them.

Try, in Steam, right clicking on Half Life 2 and going to properties
and launch options. Add the option -nosound and then see if you can
reproduce the crash. If this does cause the crash to go away it
sounds bug 13251 which has a workaround.

I did so, but the game still crashes at the exact same situation. So I guess the sound can not be blamed for this?

I tried this before, but the workaround wasn't working for me.

Since I can not edit my posts (which I honestly don't get) I have to post twice, sorry

Oddly, Guild Wars is crashing in a similar situation. When I select my character and press "Play", the game is loading the map. But when it should be finished, the game crashes/stops responding. The console output for the time of the crash (the last three lines) looks similar as well:

So I guess the problems are connected. Might this be right?
