Adding a Registry Key to Wine

How do I add this registry key to wine:

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

As it says to do at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=9432? In order to get Portal 1 working. When I open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine in regedit there is no Direct3D. I tried making a .reg file containing the line "UseGLSL"="disabled" and then I clicked the import option in regedit and selected the .reg file but nothing happened. I also tried creating the folder Direct3D in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\ and giving the default a value of "UseGLSL"="disabled" but Portal still crashes when I make a portal. Does anybody have any ideas?

Any help is greatly appreciated

You did well on creating the folder, but you have to create a key in there of type REG_SZ with the name UseGLSL and, then, you have to give that key the "disabled" value.

I did this but Portal still crashes. What is it I'm doing wrong?

It wouldn't be case-sensitive, would it?

Two things:
First, you have a "folder" (let's call it that) under Direct3D which, AFAIK, shouldn't be there. The registry key should be in the Direct3D "folder".
Second, as has been pointed out, it might (sorry, not sure, but I don't think it is -- it might) case-sensitive.

This is what I'm supposed to have, but it's not there for some reason. Has anybody else experienced this problem?

Those entries are not there by default; you have to create them. And as Jorl17 already pointed out, you created UseGLSL incorrectly.

winetricks glsl=disabled is one easy way.

Or you could use winecfg, which has a nice checkbox.
