Before I used these, steam was worse.Īny help at all on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I also used a couple of commands in the terminal that I found on the internet. I have spent several hours googling and surfing forums to try and fix this problem. Tried using Winetricks, but was unable to do anything at all with it. Tried messing with the Sound configuration, and changing the compatibility for steam to XP, but I'm not sure if I even did it right. I don't believe I've run Wine as sudo, but I may have executed a command involving Wine with sudo in terminal, but only if a guide said to. As well, I've tried using Crossover Games Trial, to the same effect as Wine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Wine once already, and am reasonably sure it's up-to-date. Also, the restricted drivers didn't improve program function.

To get my resolution back is to switch back.

Using restricted drivers boots back in low graphics mode, and the only way What I've done to try and fix the problem: I haven't seen this topic answered in any other forum posts. I'm using a Dell Dimension 4400 with 1.6 ghz cpu, 768 MB RAM,Nvidia GE Force 5500 video card,Ubuntu Hardy Heron, Wine 1.1.10 At least, it doesn't go to the menu in the 2-4 minutes I waited. After the Valve video at the beginning, it fades to a black screen that never turns into a game menu. I was able to download a copy of Half Life 2: Deathmatch successfully, and launch it however, it loads EXTREMELY slowly, with very choppy sound and choppy video. But, it DOES work, and I can deal with it. After a few hours of tweaking, Steam is working, but still buggy and slow, with scrollbars that constantly move, and sometimes I have to move the mouse away from what I'm trying to click in order to highlight it. I was unable to get steam to work at all at first with Wine. I'm having trouble with steam and, most importantly, steam games.
