Wine, CS, Steam, Arch64

Hello all. In first place I want to say that I'm completely new to Arch.

I'm going to describe the situation of my box the most precisely way I can, so you guys can help me better.

I installed Arch 2007.08-2 x86_64. I installed Wine doing this:
- Installing these dependencies:

* lib32-alsa-lib
    * lib32-fontconfig
    * lib32-freetype2
    * lib32-libjpeg
    * lib32-libx11
    * lib32-libxcb
    * lib32-libxml2
    * lib32-libxslt
    * lib32-libxxf86vm
    * lib32-mesa
    * util-linux-ng

- Downloaded this tarball.
- Unpacking it.
- Cd into it.
- $ mkepkg
- # pacman -U <wine-packagename>

Then I downloaded the last steam .msi installer. I ran it with

wine msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi

and followed the standard installation steps - no problems yet.

Then I created this script:

#!/bin/bash

# WINE binary
CDLOADER_WINE="wine"

# Steam directory
STEAMDIR="$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam"

cd "$STEAMDIR"

$CDLOADER_WINE "steam.exe" -- "$@"

made it executable (# chmod +x <scriptname>) and created an alias with

cd ~ && ./.steamloader

Then I ran steam with "steam" alias, and configured my account and installed CS (1.6) and CZ. When they were ready (no problems during the install) I tried to launch them. He says "preparing to launch, etc" but then the box goes away and the game isn't launched.

Then, since it wasn't working, I rebooted the computer. I went to the "Main Menu" (using Xfce) and in the "Other" section there is a "Condition Zero" shortcut. I clicked on it. When do it launches CZ but the image is weird (can't describe it, it's a mixture of a Xfce desktop, low-res with the CS menu and you see a low frequency refresh, I don't know).

So I wanted to know if someone knows what is it, or how can it be solved.

Thanks in advance,
Rui

P.S.: my winecfg, is using Windows 2000 for applications.

I had the same problem with i686. It's seems not to be x86_64 related. Disabling the ingame steam community solved that problem for me.

Yeah, as the wine database says, steam community/friends doesn't just not work, you won't be able to play anything.

Hm...you could try playonlinux to simplify the installation process and try getting it to work .:)

Apart from that , you could try disabling the in game steam community ...
hmm....Btw , what is your graphic card ?
if you are using nvidia , you must get the lib32 of your nvidia driver...
