Its really simple but some things are needed:
-I recommend INTEL cpu because IPC per cycle is much better than IPC per cycle on AMD and performance per core its much higher on INTEL than AMD (this is important if you use games with use 3 cores or less, CSMT is not highly multithreading normally use 2 cores, and more cores using if game become for use it), this is not mandatory but on INTEL i see better results
-I highly recommends Nvidia video card with lastest propietary drivers if you use wine, this give you more performance and compatibility on wine than AMD video cards (VLIW4-VLIW5-GCN) with/without propietary drivers (AMD opensource recently improve some compatibility but performance is lower than NVidia with propietary drivers and AMD with propietary drivers give more performance but have bugs than Nvidia with propietary drivers), INTEL video card is worst than AMD
-you must be know how to install propietary drivers
-this guides could be usefull

And other issues can be appear depend title: add dlls, configure native dlls on wine cfg, some need NOCD/NODVD, others titles need this command __GL_ExtensionStringVersion=17700 especially on

Er... there's a truckload of bugs fixed for Team Fortress 2 and other Valve games... ??? Those games have been ported to Linux, why did someone loose so much time making them work through Wine ?

Quoting: AnonymousYou are awesome with your wine lol xD You seem to manage to make everything works so well xD How do you do it lolI've gotten a LOT more games to run with less issues when I started using playonlinux. It makes it easy to manage a wine prefix per game, so you don't accidentally break something when trying to get something new to work.
I just create a clean prefix, install the game and try to run it. When it doesn't work, check the wine output and generally you will see what's wrong quite clearly (mainly missing DLL's). When you use steam the prerequisites for the game are automatically installed most of the time.
Also check the wine appdb, the good test results often have a list of prerequisites you need to install or tweaks to improve performance.

Often fixing a Wine bug for one game fixes same or similar one for another one. Also, Wine works for some platforms Steam isn't available for (unpopular Linux distribution families, FreeBSD and such).
Wish they would work more on games that are not available for Linux, though.

This. If you know a bug exists, you fix it or it WILL cause issues futher down the line for other games.
