Last I checked, HLDJ runs fine under WINE so my guess is that the process for setting it up will be the same as Windows. One difference might be that since you are using a native Steam install, the Steam registry keys likely won't exist in your WINE registry (I don't know if WINE is smart enough to look for the key in a Mac-equivalent of a Windows registry) so Add All may take longer to locate your steam directory if you do not specify a game directory.

If you are having a problem, read the stickies and take the appropriate approach.

the steam app is in the mac part not wine does that make a difrence e.g absoluty no registry keys for steam in wine.
Im running only hldj from wine.

hldj is the only thing i ever ran in wine e. g. clean install of wine.

the steam is a native mac app and so is the game i want to use e. g. team fortress 2.
im sorry if I made you think that i was running steam and hldj under wine.

Yes I am aware, that's why I said the keys likely won't exist. See the previous post for the differences that may make.

I don't know if your problem is the same or even what it is. You need to A) read the rules and stickies B) create an appropriate topic.
