    Black Screen of Counter Strike: Source



    i know this has to be posted somewhere.

    everytime i launch CSS i get the opening graphics then the screen goes black

    is this a java prob or some other unknown entity?

    Are you referring to Counter Strike: Source?

    If so, there is a likely chance you won't get this to run. How are you trying to run it?

    (Sorry if I'm thinking of the wrong game here).

    CSS should work under wine with a little finagling.
