Comments: Steam loads fine, BioShock Infinite downloads and upon first run it installs VirtualC and DirectX/D3D. Upon running the game it doesn't load and it gives a small window that says "Message" and an "OK" button.

When I click OK Steam kicks back to the question window asking if I want to run BioShock or the benchmarking tool.

The output of the log file from the time of running Steam to when BioShock fails to start:

Display settings have been left to defaults with video memory set to match what my card has. Every once in a while when tweaking a few things the game does seem to run but no window is visible and no audio from the game is heard. I will try to replicate that situation and post the output of the log for that case as well.

I am also running Compiz as my WM and I've had experiences where minimized windows were not visible when restored so I tried switching to XFWM for a couple tests and the results were no different.

its dx10+ only..so no point trying it... wine doesnt support that.

theres hope that Aspyr will port it to linux at some point. but nothing is confirmed
