> I've heard that it's possible to run Orange Box on WINE. I've tried several tutorials but can't get it to work - I got it all to install, and Steam pops up no problem, but the games crash at the loading screen and bring me back to my desktop. I even tried the original Half-Life - does the same thing.

Yeah, I've had no luck with this either. > > Help anyone?

I fixed mine by upgrading the driver to 169.12, and upgrading to wine 0.9.55. My brother has not had suck luck. Please post your trials in this thread, and I'll do the same for my brother. -Tres
