HL2 needs to be compatible with WINE, not Ubuntu. It's one of the Ubuntu Team's duties to make WINE compatible with Ubuntu. I was able to get HL2 working under WINE in Intrepid but Intrepid doesn't work on my new machine. Jaunty does work on my new machine but it is also in development so bugs exist. This is one of them.
My new computer is a quad-core that more than meets the recommended spec for HL2 (link to it was in first post). I'm only using my Intel On- board graphics so it isn't a driver issue with Nvidia or ATI. Since game performance isn't the issue I wouldn't expect the video card to be the source of the problem but with newer machines I wouldn't be surprised if there was a correlation. No evidence that the hardware is the source yet, though. The problem is that it is forcing my session to logout. This is not typical behaviour of a failing program. 'Proper' failing means a program crash and Ubuntu being sent a crash report. There should be no reason for a session crash to the logout screen when loading HL2 in WINE. http://appdb.winehq.org/ As you can see from that link, HL2 and most/all Valve games work flawlessly under WINE. -- Playing Half-Life 2 in WINE causes forces a logout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335905 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
