Cedega + Steam + CS:S


I'm trying to get Counter-Strike source playing Steam installed and downloaded and installed COunter-Strike source with no problem.. WHen I click Play a Steam Warning window Pops up saying:

Your Video card does not appear to be in our database. Consequently, you may or not be able to the lpay game with sufficient stability or performance.

Your driver Details:

Windows Version: Unknown Windows Version
Description: Direct3D HAL
Version: 0.10.0.11360

This is odd because I have the newest Nvidia drivers for my BFG Tech OC'ed(from manufacturer) 256mb PCI Geforce FX.. I get around 2800-3900 FPS with glxgears... if there was a command for making it load the opelgl drivers instead of direct3d drivers (theres a run at launch commands for advanced users only option) wehat would it be and anyone have idea how to fix this?


THanks ALOT!

Rocco!

I figured out Steam and its games, do not work yet with cedega due to a Update in the source engine that calls on a function that isnt incorporated into Cedega yet... Wiating for Cedega update, but Cedega is not free Anyone play Xmoto for linux, its sweet gravity motocross game. Tests your 1337 sk117z.
