But unfortunately, the game is crashing when I want to start a new game. I see the loading bar filling, but when it's almost done, the game crashes. Here is the console output, as far as I could reach it: > Try, in Steam, right clicking on Half Life 2 and going to properties and launch options. Add the option -nosound and then see if you can reproduce the crash. If this does cause the crash to go away it sounds bug 13251 which has a workaround. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13251
