Is anyone here excited for the upcoming Steam linux client?
Q. I sure am. I'll just start buying games for linux to support the platform. Rarely will I boot into windows anymore. Except to play Killing Floor or Battlefield 3. Hopefully AMD will release better linux drivers by the time it's out since I'm not a big Nvidia fan.
A. I am. I think that Steam for Linux will change a lot by fixing one of the few shortcomings of Linux and helping Windows users keep our precious games.
How do you get a game to work on Steam?
Q. I am using Linux Ubuntu, and when I open the game Team Fortress 2, it opens, I can hear the sounds and everything, but I can't see the game. All I can see is a black screen.
A. First, get a distro that is more stable than Ubuntu. I play TF2 and most other steam games on Slackware, and they all work great.
Having said that, though, most of the time your problem is either the wine version you are using, or the video drivers. Wine is at 1.5.20, and I'm finding it to be a very stable release. Check your video drivers, see if there is something more current. The current AMD drivers are for the most part stable, not sure about the current nVidia drivers.
If you know how, create a new wine prefix, and try playing TF2 in that.
