for those who can't see video and just have the sound, try adding this to you launch options via steam:

-novid -console -nod3d9ex

Hey man, i dont use Ubuntu here but have a geforce 9800+ and do all the steps.

My Dota run but i dont see any image, the sound of the buttons and everything else works. (i dont try to start a game)

Any suggestion?

[Ubuntugeeks]

@Gpretos Hello, its kinda hard to know what to do becuase its still beta, so just keep on trying ^^

[MrFlorinmoisa]

@DAFrankie same here :| any ideas

[moritzfl]

any way to make it work with OSX and lets say WineskinWinery or any other Wine-thingy?

[foxsick]

@Ubuntugeeks Yes. I installed c++ gecko mono followed commands but hear only sound and dont see dota 2 window

[foxsick]

@Ubuntugeeks Yes I installed everything - mono gecko c++

Then steam => install = > play

I hear the sound but there's no dota 2 window.

[Ubuntugeeks]

@foxsick hmm ok, do you have all the software needed?

//UGeek1

[foxsick]

@Ubuntugeeks The same problem with me.

I have sound but dont see wine window. Standard driver HD5870

Ubuntu 11.10

[haree60]

I already down it from torrent but i cant playy why ??

I play game and 0 serveers

[DAFrankie]

@Ubuntugeeks Yes, that must be the graphic card : it's an old GeForce. It did the same on Win until I updated the driver. Unfortunately NVidia does not provide better drivers for Ubuntu...

[Ubuntugeeks]

@DAFrankie thats strange what grapics card are you using?

//UGeek1

[DAFrankie]

The game seems to work for me... but no display output, only the sound :/

[royspeed27]

[royspeed27]

[Ubuntugeeks]

@Jackchin97 cmd?? are you running windows?

//UGeek1

[Jackchin97]

i open cmd and type sudo apt-get install wine and its not working

[Ubuntugeeks]

@Jackchin97 you mean how the game works on linux? or something else?

//UGeek1

[Ubuntugeeks]

@MrTacoManx Hi!

i think that its not that buggy to be honest after i tried it, its just the caracter logo thats missing. but sure maybe in the futere it will e fixed by adding some additional software. i think playonlinux is going to make an installation script so you dont have to do anything, but that will prob take alot of time.

[Jackchin97]

how does it works?
