Cannot run Source games under Wine

Hello, I remember when I used ubuntu I had the ability to run Source games (although they looked... weird, I couldn't place my finger on it) under wine, however I have yet to get any source games to run. When I try to run them the text comes out all messed up, and the textures are screwed up beyond belief.
Apon trying to launch TF2 from Playonlinux, I get this:

[lyude@Michelle ~]$ playonlinux

I use FGLRX (the beta version with Xorg 1.9), Gnome, Compiz-Fusion (doesn't work under metacity ether), and Arch Linux AMD64.
I hope that's all the information I need.

Re: Cannot run Source games under Wine

i have not tried team fortress, in a few days when the month rolls over and i get my broadband speed back i can try installing it. I have only minor problems running left4dead and halflife2 under the latest wine. but i cannot get the games to run if i install playonlinux. maybe theres something special you got to do to get playonlinux to work but i prefer to not use it.

if your using 64 bit arch then shouldnt wine be using c:\Program Files(x86)\
