Some people complain about the difficulty of playing in linux, well, here is an easy method to get Team Fortress 2 to play flawlessly on Arch Linux 64bit. Follow the instructions, comment and enjoy!
If you dont have it already, install wine:
sudo pacman -S wine
Wine its a 32bit application, so it needs 32 bit drivers for the video card, so install
For nvidia cards:
sudo pacman -S lib32-nvidia-utils
For intel cards:
If you have an intel-graphics card, you’ll need to install
Pacman says WINE doesn’t exist.
If this happens and you have a 64bit system, then you have to enable the new multilib repository in order to get wine. To do that, edit /etc/pacman.conf and add the following lines:
[multilib]
#32bit libs for 64 bit Arch
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
And then refresh your entire database with:
sudo pacman -Syy
then try to install wine
If you are on 32 bit then just uncomment the “community” repository on your pacman.conf and refresh with pacman -Syy
hope it helped
