TF2 random quit

[Wolvenreign]

Hello all. I'm having a spot of trouble with Team Fortress 2 under WINE. You see, the game appears to randomly stop working and blank out. Here are my system specs:

Motherboard: MSI 790GX-G65
RAM: 4GB DDR3
CPU: AMD Phenom II
Video Card:PNY/Nvidia GTS250 Performance Edition

After the screen blacks out, I am returned to my desktop, with the resolution still at TF2's max. (Not as big as Nvidia Xserver's max.) But that's not the big problem. How do I stop TF2 from randomly quitting?

[Wolvenreign]

Shoot. Darn thing doesn't let me edit. Oh well.

I should add that I'm running the latest Ubuntu 9.04 (as of July 12, 2:12 AM Eastern Time).

Hello all. I'm having a spot of trouble with Team Fortress 2 under WINE. You see, the game appears to randomly stop working and blank out.

There is no known workaround.

The only thing that _might_ help is setting windows version for "hl2.exe" to win98. But it doesn't help in all cases.

I updated to the latest WINE beta, and it seems to be working perfectly now, without any random quit.

Update: It didn't fix it, really. It just cut down on the frequency, or perhaps I've just been lucky. I do indeed still get random quit. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

I'm running 2.6.33-gentoo-r2, nvidia 9800GTX+ driver 190.53, wine 1.2-rc* and my TF2 seems to crash (basically just instantly turns off) every time someone shouts for medic in my vicinity (or when i shout for one)

.. looks like wine doesn't like losers

Terminal output and log file if too long (>20 lines) when this happens?

tried to lower all audio and video details to lowest
before one of the crashes the console says

Code: Select all

fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log Error received from GLSL shader #57:
fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log     Vertex info
fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log     -----------
fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log     0(10) : warning C7050: "R2.w" might be used before being initialized

this repeats around 13x with different shader #, but i don't think it's related... after the game shuts down, the console outputs

Code: Select all

err:ole:RevokeDragDrop invalid hwnd (nil)
fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx (L"c:\\steam\\steamapps\\accname\\team fortress 2\\tf\\resource\\tf2build.ttf", 10, (nil)): stub (repeated MANY times with different fonts)
fixme:avifile:AVIFileExit (): stub!
fixme:winmm:MMDRV_Exit Closing while ll-driver open
err:mmtime:TIME_MMTimeStop Timer still active?!

i'm running the game with

Code: Select all

wine /path/to/Steam/steam.exe -silent -applaunch 440 -window -novid -width 1280 -height 1024

Fascinating the mmtime error. I'm getting precisely the same error before Grand Prix 4 crashes to the desktop as well. Personally, I think this problem might be related to audio as the audio stops BEFORE the game crashes to the desktop. 

This problem needs identifying and fixing ASAP. Actually wine 1.2 shouldn't be released until this problem is fixed.

my problem got solved with upgrade to 1.3.0 ... no more random crashes
