Linux Mint: Testing Steam and Half-Life 2

[mowriter]

I was able to download Steam onto my mint 11 Katya environment (had to tweak permissions to run the DL file as an executable). Set up steam, downloaded ALL my games onto Steam, tried running all of them from the shortcuts, Mint thought about it and quit trying. Pulled up Steam, got as far as the latest updates pop up, then Steam itself closed, not even "crashed," just closed.

Any other suggestions appreciated. Am further along with Steam on Linux than I was, yesterday.

@camdensmith555

i have the same problem :( please tell me if u resolved

[dupasqk]

Steam works fine in mint 9 RC! I think I found my new OS.

[dupasqk]

I am trying linux for the first time because of YOUR video. If steam loads and installs Killing Floor I'll never use windows again.

Thanks!

[dupasqk]

Hey bud! Nice video, I am quite stuck tho! I have mint 8 helena installed and have installed Steam, Direct X and all the frameworks to wine doors, but steam won't launch. Is there something I'm missing???

[1Jinxed1]

hi,

so playing counter strike source or other windows games in linux.

do you see a big drop in fps?

how do they compare side by side on the same system?

thanks

[terrac1de]

depends on the game, but overall  the answer is yes

[royandfrida]

haha your watching starwars good movie lol uhmm i have a question i dont know how to play half life 2 online do you think you can help me i have a windows vista

[DavidPlim]

@royandfrida you mean half life 2 deathmatch? its separate from half life 2 but fairly cheap

[XXsushifreak123YY]

what is the name of the cam you are useing that is like hypercam?

[tepper94]

World of Warcraft 2?!^^

[jeremyofmany]

Didn't see the next video. Nice.

[jeremyofmany]

The title of this video is misleading as all that is shown is the fact that Steam can be installed on a Linux distribution by use of some sort of Windows based layer. Many are familiar with Wine which seems to be one, if not the, most popular. The games and their compatibility/stability on Linux are not demonstrated here, only the front-end gateway (Steam). Nice video, nonetheless.

[blink1420]

You can play games with it just fine, the screen capture program decides to stop recording when the screen changes sizes when you start the game. I intend on making a video showing this soon.

[Rockburns123]

hey i have a problem, ive installed steam with wine door and i try to download my games.. when i click to install them steam freezes and closes, ive tried multiple times same results. please help, i love linux but i want to play my games, it wont let me install without closing!

[PSNisWarlockSyno]

My old PC does that. Right now I'm on my Game one, and I guess its because of RAM issues.

[Rockburns123]

nvm i figured it out! YAY!

[Rockburns123]

how do you do this!?!?!

[Selerzz]

I thought Wine-doors was a GNOME program?

Does it work with xfce o linux mint?

[erics2a]

half life 2 is the best!! :)

[aafaking]

now does that software affect the programs performance in any way. would i be able 2 play something like GTA San Andreas

[aafaking]

the star wars in the background makes the video so much better

[leArchomme]

hahaha

[azcension]

what software are you using to play the dvd in linux

[hollow334]

wait world of warcraft 2?
