I use winex for games, now I installed Half-life, the latest update and counterstrike with no problems
but when I try to start half-life, cs or TFC, my screen just pops off and on a few times and then I get
Code:

wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...

I also installed Starcraft with winex, and it runs perfect, so I guess its not in the config. But during the install of starcraft it said that there was a old version of directx detected (version 2.0) and it would update it to 5.0
Now I don't know if he updated directx but SC works perfect.
IF directx is the problem, I know that HL uses at least version 6.0 of directx, is there a linux version of directx that I need to install ?[/code]

Hi ya... I've just picked up the half life pack generations and it all installed perfectly.. but I had in order to get the game to play you need to run it (from the half life directory) with this command line

winex hl.exe -- hl.exe -console

Hopefully that should sort you out.. with Half-Life, Opposing Forces and Team Fortress.. unfortunately Blue Shift isn't working in winex yet..
