half life 1 source has stopped working

[JeanC]

Latest wine, rc4.

I'm not looking for a solution as the current state of the project seems to be in a lot of motion, just thought I'd mention it. Maybe hear what others are experiencing with these games.

Half life 2 is working though.

Still works here. What video card? What drivers? What distro?

[JeanC]

Kubuntu 8.04, nvidia 7600 GT and the closed source nvidia driver. It worked say three weeks ago but I update regularly.

Did you killed/disabled pulseaudio? Have you changed any settings from default in winecfg and/or registry?

What driver version?

[JeanC]

doing 'dpkg-query -l | grep nvidia' gives:
nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.13-18.41
It's the latest as far as I know.

I didn't do anything to sound no. By killing pulse, do you mean going to System Settings - Sound System and choosing anything other then Autodetect? I believe pulse is the default in kubuntu.

I tried all settings on the graphics tab in winecfg yes, up to virtual desktop.

I should mention that also San Andreas has the same behaviour, it started up a while ago (though it was not playable because the character kept moving without keypress) but now it dies right after the splashscreen.

I am also trying to start the games on a fresh x xerver, without window manager. Code:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash 
X :2 -ac & 
XPID=$! 
sleep 2 
cd '/media/data/Games/Half Life 1' 
DISPLAY=:2 WINEDEBUG=-all wine "/media/data/Games/Half Life 1/Half-Life Source.exe" 
sleep 1 
kill $XPID 

Half life 2 does this well..

No the 'kill -9', remove/disable etc. Make it NOT run, NOT load.

Wine will not work with it period. If you want the proper way to disable it oir remove it - ask your distro support, not here!

You *are* actively driving people away from here this way, no matter how helpfull you are.

Unfortunately I have to agree here.

That's the only way you can be heard by your distro people. As it seems they are totally clueless of all the problems they cause to Wine. With all their "features" that totally incompatible with Wine and lots of other programs.
