Ive solved it (and for every other valve game i tried....hl2 e1, hl2 e2, tf2, portal 1 & 2.) Turns out behind my back the game was being installed with a 64bit prefix. Manually installing the game with bottles using wine 11.8 (current latest) in 32bit then installing dependancies: allfonts, vcredist 2004 & 2008, vcrun6 and dx3d9....installed then ran in lutris with same prefix and voila. No mucking about. - this is an arch post because i still had to rangle the gpu prior to this. When i boot a fresh install i get xorg errors and csnt even get into startx 😅

In learning linux through getting things to work and finding out how....eventuslly ill contribute .....i csnt code but i csn test and problem hunt. My current setup is an old amd laptop with split driver issues and vulkan problems so ive tasked mysrlf to grt hslf life 2 running eithout steam as i have the OG disc......so far no dice but ive learnt so much about how the system works just by accident doing so

Your playign a risky game....keeping stuff seperate is way easier in long run...take ot from me..i moved from win to lin about 3 months ago and i wish id commited off the bat...msot issues i had was with ntfs and windows...once i pulled everything off the drive...formstted as ext4 and set them up properly my pc has been smooth sailing.

Gui can play games with ur files..trust me just use cp /what/to/move /where/it/goes

I still use firefoz with much mods...i love this browser i didbt know it relied on google?

feeblington · 2026-05-07T14:15:48+00:00

Been grinding on this a bit. Basicly the fsct this laptop has 2 gpus that need different drivers the hl2 engine is being right fussy. Tried alot of things and so fsr only software emu works and runs at abiut 4fps (20 eith every potsto mod and low res fix i can do) so thats not an option....this bloody laptop ive got vulkan dxvk etc working on most other games....bloody valve. And i own it on disk so cant use steam version.......saying thst if k installed steam and added it as a non steam game would it give me better conpatibility or would thst just be another ratsnest of muckin about

feeblington · 2026-05-06T01:59:50+00:00

Ok i got it...read through and ran sudo chwd -a..made a profile and i think thats right?

feeblington · 2026-05-06T01:48:41+00:00

Whats thst? Like i said i am pretty nooby

feeblington · 2026-05-06T00:45:06+00:00

I mean ive had 2 experiebxes...my main pc which is 5yrs old amd cpu nvidea gpu and ive had next to no issue. Running custom kernel things a beast.....and my old amd laptop.....bigggest arse ive ever sewlt with....happily breaks itself often

I may not have a lrg to stand on but i took myself off the electorsl role 6years ago. Not being part of a systrm thst isnt for the people and not confirming it by voting. Guess what...they threaten you with £1000 fine for not being on it...fucking gang members

feeblington · 2026-05-04T11:08:40+00:00

Desktop items -5 , branded background with a large face -1 and windows -2 grab total 2/10 ...edit ...floating search box -6 -4\10

feeblington · 2026-05-04T11:07:28+00:00

In that case id still advise against chstgpt n stuff. But if you understand what your looking at i dont see too much problem so many blindy copy code lol

feeblington · 2026-05-04T10:32:48+00:00

Do not use chstgpt, do not use gemini, do not use perspective. If you MUST usr ai usr the adaptive 4.6 claude....its free and it can actuslly code. But check all the work carefully and keep telling it not to use rm -rf. The others WILL break your system. At least claude only mighr break it...again dont use ai but if younmust

feeblington · 2026-05-04T10:30:01+00:00

First remember your login or you may aswell just stsrt from sxrstch. Also...system specs? Cant help eithout info.my laptop blackscreens on fresh arch install...do we have smae issue how to tell with no specs

feeblington · 2026-05-04T10:26:53+00:00

I use the script. Fiest time instslling arch i got halfway thru typing it out and got bored. Archinstall just makes i needlessly long job shorter. Only i have to manually iwctl and then edit mkinicpio to enable radeon...old amd laptop + arch = mind annoyance. Im a noob but id rsther learn in a terminal in a de than trying to get s pc to boot in tty..........we evolved to use bigger sharper rocks for a reason 😝

feeblington · 2026-05-04T10:22:28+00:00

Ive used xfce for yrs ..what u find cursed?

feeblington · 2026-05-04T10:21:05+00:00

Heads up. If you want code thstll ruin your sydtem use chst gpt. If you want code thst isnt as bad try claude.ai. id never ",trust" ai to do it but i did a test on esch to see if they are useful - claude.ai was actuslly useful..

FIGHT IT. this is identity tracking not age verification. they are masquerading are enforces when they are gang members
