Re: wine

i have followed a tutorial on how to run steam on linux, but i still get the same error, i was wondering if this would solve my problem, it probably will!
to undo what i installed with wine, rm -rf ~/.wine/ is ok right?

Well, you can use the --bind switch, but I would also suggest a symbolic link instead (ln -s /mnt/windows/Windows /home/joaospinto/.wine/drive_c/windows).

You don't need to - a symoblic link just means you can navigate through the link as if it were the folder it refers to, so both paths are valid, but refer to the same file.

Re: wine

ok, anyway i think it is not very practic to do that... i still got the same error... i installed Steam on ~/.wine instead... anyway it is still veeeeeeeery slow (not the ping, the graphics) why is this? anything i can do?

Re: wine

you need accelerated graphics under linux, then you can hope performance with wine, but as you have certainly read on wine's site while looking for steam install, halflife2 is still unplayable (about 15fps...).

try with a known well supported game to test your wine install, and, like windows, find the "uninstall.exe" is better than rm
