I recently updated to the newest stable wine through the ppa for Ubuntu. I didn't have problems running Half Life 2 E1 before upgrading but now I have a few issues. When launching the game it's in a sort of a windowed mode and then when it goes to load the main menu it tries to go fullscreen but I can still see my dock and my top panel. If I adjust the screen resolution and set it back I can solve this issue. But when I do that, the audio quits on the game. On my previous version of Wine I had the fullscreen bug which I could fix, but I never got the audio problem.
