Hey, Booman!! How's it goin? Thanks for posting this. I was trying to install Portal 2 using Steam, and I can't get it to work with 1.7.8, 1.7.9, or 1.7.10. It loads just fine, but when you start using your keyboard commands, the game freezes, then crashes. I tried 1.6.2, and it works perfectly!!! While I have your attention, I need your help. I have been trying to get Far Cry working, and nothing I try does any good. I have used my installation script, which has worked in the past, to no avail. I have used your guide, also to no avail. I even bought the Steam version of it, and still no luck. Perhaps you can steer me in the right direction and get it up and working for me.

Thanks,
Mike

Sure, can you create new thread and post your specs (Distro, video card, wine versions)
The post the debug output for Far Cry
Maybe it will give us a clue why it isn't working.
I remember having problems, but they worked out and I posted everything in the guide.

What do you mean keyboard commands, does it crash on key press?

Thanks for posting that. I originally thought the Overlay was crashing games on launch, but I am testing Lost Planet and the game launches, loads and play until you touch the keyboard. Then it crashes.
The mouse works fine, but for some reason the keyboard will crash the game at any time

No problem Booman. Try installing dinput and setting it to builtin then native. I had to do that for one of my games at one point because it was giving me the same symptoms. I can't remember what game it was, but once I installed that, everything worked correctly. Check out my new thread on Far Cry... perhaps you can help me out!

I tried that. Even xinput, but the real problem was the overlay.
Tried it this morning and disabling the overly in Steam allowed Lost Planet to run just fine.
