Hello, Well, first let me say - I've looked in the APP database for this game. I've tried to trouble shoot everything I've read on the site. Here's my system: Ubuntu 64-bit 8.04 AMD 5800+ 4gb of Winsor Ram Nvidia 8500 GT Intel onboard sound Here's what's happening: Whenever I load up a game on CSS, it crashes after a gun shot. You can walk around, and everything just fine - but when someone shoots a gun - the game dies. Why it's weird: It USED to work. It stopped working about a week ago. I play other games via STEAM - such as Dawn of War Hammer, and etc. What I've done: 1) Completely uninstalled, and removed pulseaudio. 2) Steam community is not on, and has never been on. 3) OSS is not enabled; alsa only. 4) killed all programs prior to launching steam to insure no other sound programs are running 5) Tried a completely different linux install - and received the same symptoms. 6) tried an older kernel(2.6.24-16) 7) disabled compiz 8) Changed to "Windows 2000" in winecfg. Sorry if you laugh at some of the things I did to try to fix it - I tried everything I could think of. Here are the terminal output: > > van@vortex:~/.wine/drive_c/Valve/Steam$ WINEDEBUG=-all wine steam -applaunch 240 > CellID: Fetching server list from CSDS. . . > CellID: CSDS returned 176 servers. >
