I think this is because Rockstar Social Club failed some strange way. According some forum sources, even if patch 7 removes it you need to be signed in somehow...

Some thing's you may wanna try:
1) Upgrade your Wine version
2) Do a clean install of the game and patch
3) Make sure Windows version is set to Vista or 7
4) Try another version of XLiveLess
Just installed the game and patched it to ver. 1.0.7.0 yesterday and I have no problems starting it with Wine ver. 1.3.28, Winver set to 7 and the xlive.dll linked to on this page.
