TF2 hangs when joining a server

Hello,

I got a real problem as TF2 is my favorite game, when i start steam
and click on Team Fortress 2, it loads and the menu shows up, but when
i try to join a server whole TF2 hangs! So i'm forced to "Kill
process" to make it shut down, i've tried running it in a virtual
screen etc. but nothing works.
But it does work with Crossover Office Pro and Crossover Games, so i
don't understand why it shouldn't in normal Wine, but indeed, the
crossover products are modified versions of Wine or something like
that.

Anyone got any advices? I could live with it and run it on Crossover,
but it would be nice to have it working on wine too.

Regards,
Kromgol.

Have you used "dxlevel 81" command for enabling DirectX 8 rendering?

I reinstalled Steam, made new symbolic links to Steam on my NTFS partition, and then BAM! It worked ._.

Anyway thanks
