When you installed CS thru Wine(X), did you get these messages?
 

err:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Loading of native DLL C:\Half-Life\cstrike\gfx\env\cxft.tga failed, check this file ! (GetLastError 193)
err:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Loading of native DLL C:\Half-Life\cstrike\gfx\env\cxdn.tga failed, check this file ! (GetLastError 193)
err:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Loading of native DLL C:\Half-Life\cstrike\gfx\env\cxbk.tga failed, check this file ! (GetLastError 193)
err:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Loading of native DLL C:\Half-Life\cstrike\chateau.wad failed, check this file ! (GetLastError 193)


its strange....as far as i can tell for every file that it creates/installs this error appears for them...this could be contributing to my other problem of the filesystem becomming corrupt http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=37976


any idea's?

I don't use CS and I just recently compiled wine since I was planning getting something running with it, but haven't had much time to look into it yet. But here is some random information which might help you get further.

GetLastError returns error code 193, that would be:
193 - is not a valid Win32 application. ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT

I don't know what it's trying to do there, but as far as I know the tga files and wad files shouldn't be loaded directly like that. Have you set it to load all files in some directory some where?
