Game crashes after logos, video and before the menu by Ivan Aguero on Wednesday June 20th 2012, 15:27 Since the installation the first time i played the game it worked flawlessly. Then I closed it to install the multiplayer stuff and tried to play it again and crashed everytime. Ive tried reinstalling it and stuff but nothing seems to work with it. My current wine version is 1.4.1. This is what I get when running in the terminal: pastebin.com/LaeejFU7 [post new] [reply to this]

ENB Series mod. by Nero Rush on Thursday April 26th 2012, 15:43 I've recently been trying to run ENB Series on GTA:SA. "ENBSeries is the project of graphic modifications for games. [...] Many games may look much better and ENBSeries is the easiest way to improve them.". It's quite popular among gamers, and I haven't had much success running it. First of all, I opened a thread on the official mod forums, but the dev doesn't use Linux: enbdev.com/enbseries/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=613. I had to force Wine to use the native d3d9 library with winecfg, then I installed the mod, and found out that Wine can't properly generate texture mipmaps automatically (a log file can be found on the mod forums' thread with a few screenshots). Then, with a bit of settings tweaking as advised by the dev, I've been able to run it but it lags a lot; I need someone to test the mod with a high-end graphic card. Ask questions!

Problems with wireless usb keyboard/mouse and graphics by Nicolás M. on Wednesday November 16th 2011, 0:41 Hello :D!! First of all, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 x64 with Wine 1.3.28. The problem I have is that CJ moves forward all the time without me touching anything. I know there are problems having a Joystick/joypad plugged in before start, but I'm using only my keyboard/mouse. Both, the mouse and keyboard are wireless, so maybe it has something to do. The graphics problem is the same (I think) that the one under "Common Problems" except that I could not fix it because the entry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\UseGLSL" is not present. I will try now with Playonlinux. The game installed without problems with wine 1.3.28 and playonlinux. Finally, MANY thanks for the great job of the Wine Developers and his partners :D.

NUMA + wine + GTA:SA = fail by nightwalk on Thursday June 10th 2010, 20:39 This game has worked for me out-of-the-box using just a bare wine config since at least 1.0.3. However, I've found that it has serious issues on NUMA-based systems that make it unplayable. Anything beyond the menu runs at normal speed for ~1 second, then freezes for about 2-5 seconds, runs normally for another second, then goes back out to lunch. Rinse, lather, repeat. Locking the game to a single core using taskset has no effect, using a realtime kernel (and running the game with realtime priority) has no effect, and it also doesn't seem to matter what type of video card is used. Disabling power saving features in the BIOS, and changing to the 'Performance' governor also didn't improve the situation any. My best guess is that it has something to do with interrupts raised as a result of the processors "talking" to each other, and I don't know that there's a non-code work-around for it. For reference, the latest system where I'm running into this problem uses an ALiveNF7G-HD720p motherboard, an AMD Phenom(tm) 9750 (2.4Ghz), and 4x2Gb DDR2 800Mhz memory modules. It has also happened on numerous other Athlon64 & Athlon64 X2-based systems (all NUMA). In fact, the only system I've ever gotten this working on is an Intel-based HP Pavilion dv9500 laptop (non-NUMA), and it works just as well under wine as it does under windows -- ditto for SA:MP. Naturally, the game has worked fine under windows on *all* of the hardware I've ever ran it on, so I think it's fair to assume this is a wine bug. Until it's fixed, if you want to play this game under linux, I'd suggest using a non-I7 Intel-based system. [post new] [reply to this]

Joypad Axis issue by Lance Moore on Thursday May 13th 2010, 22:25 I'm having trouble with the joypad configuration on my Foxconn controller. The left-right axis on the left analog stick controls both the camera movement, and the player movement as well. This makes driving very difficult and awkward. I would like to switch the left-right axis of the left analog stick for camera movement, to the right analog stick, so that it functions exactly how it does on PS2, with the right analog stick controlling the camera, and the left controlling the player. Is this a bug that only I'm experiencing? I can't seem to find anyone with the same issues... [post new] [reply to this]

EAX sound issue fix :) by Grams79 on Thursday March 11th 2010, 12:40 After testing once again with a fresh install on a fresh OS. Here are my findings to help eliminate the dreaded EAX sound bug. Don't understand this sound bug? I will briefly explain. GTASA was designed with EAX technology (eax.dll) and Microsoft Direct Sound Library (dsound.dll). Something to do with Creative Sound Systems, 5.1 surround bla bla. Well... WINE doesn't support it in this case. In game the sound bug is much like this, I will explain. Ambient sounds such as vehicle motors and footsteps are extremely low. The only time these sound effect become clear is when the 3rd person cam position is near the model where the sound effect resides. On the other hand sound effects from gunshots and the character CJ speaking are very loud. This after 5 minutes this bug can make a gamer go mad! lol At first I tackled the EAX. Everyone since 2005 suggested a downgrade of the eax.dll. I've tried these versions: 2.6.0.0, 3.0.1.0, 3.0.6.2, 3.0.6.5, 3.0.6.6, 4.0.0.0, 4.0.0.1 I don't believe any longer that this is a valid fix. Many suggested changing from FULL to BASIC acceleration. Go to ~./wine and open user.reg with gedit. Located [Software\\Wine\\DirectSound] and find "HardwareAcceleration"="????" Change it to "HardwareAcceleration"="Basic" and save. That doesn't seem to change much now. So to continue to the solution I have found. DSOUND.DLL Version: 5.3.2600.2180 FIXED MY ISSUE! Backup your dsound.dll from original wine install found in system32. Go into wine configuration and then libraries. Type in dsound and set native, builtin. WINE VERSION 1.1.37 SOUND DRIVER – OSS SAMPLE RATE – 44100 / 16 ACCELERATION – BASIC UBUNTU – 9.10 SOUND PREF – Analog Stereo Output SPEAKERS – 2 desktop / 2 shelf (not 4.0) Please try this fix and reply to let me know! If this is the key then we can announce this as a perm fix. [post new] [reply to this]

5 YEAR SOUND ISSUE FIX by Grams79 on Saturday January 9th 2010, 10:44 There has been a scream for help from many people who could not get the sound to work correctly for years!! I can not believe that people have not noticed this issue as much as others such as Christian Nolte. bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14896 The sound issue makes car engines, foot steps and other sounds very quiet while Carl's voice, gun shots and police very loud. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE WHEN CARL YELLS AT YOU. The EAX is at fault and I've got the cure. I'm not 100% sure if this will work for all others. Do try and report back here with confirmation. Solution: 1. Go into wine configuration and then libraries. 2. Type in dsound and set native, builtin. 3. Type in eax and set native, builtin. The next step is to set audio hardware acceleration to BASIC. This was hard to do since the update of wine where only FULL and EMULATION is available for option. Go to ~./wine and open user.reg with gedit. Located [Software\\Wine\\DirectSound] and find "HardwareAcceleration"="????" Change it to "HardwareAcceleration"="Basic" and save. Hope this helps everyone!!!!!

How to start the game on intel etc. video cards by Ruslan on Sunday September 20th 2009, 10:55 If you are using Mesa driver for your video card (e.g. intel), you will get no textures in the menu, and trying to start new game will crash the game. This is because the game uses patented texture compression algorithm, which is left out of Mesa for legal reasons. To get GTA SA working, you have to get libtxc_dxtn.so library. Once you install it, GTA will work. You can read about this library and download source from here: homepage.hispeed.ch/rscheidegger/dri_experimental/s3tc_index.html [post new] [reply to this]

Only way out is to restart X. I'm using a no-cd crack, can't get the game to run without, keeps looking for the cd/dvd. Are you guys using no-cd ? [post new] [reply to this]

Making the mod "Things to do in San Andreas 'Till you die" work by John on Thursday July 23rd 2009, 13:03 Normally, running gta_sa.exe with this mod under wine 1.1.26 will cause the game to crash upon booting a new game. To alleviate this problem and still get most of the benefit of the mod, using sanny builder, decompile the main.scm, and comment out all the lines of text starting with (minus the quotes) "0181:" and "00C4:" Recompile the main.scm, and you should be able to start a new game without a hitch. The features lost by doing this are as follows: motorbike police don't change models depending on region, helicopter models don't change depending on your wanted level, and license plates do not get anisotropic filtering.

No bug 14896? by Jan Kaláb on Monday July 6th 2009, 3:06 Hmm, platinum ratings. You people are not affected by bug #14896? Because I still am (Wine 1.1.25) :( [post new] [reply to this]

Intel video card vs nvidia logs by Ruslan on Monday June 15th 2009, 15:54 I logged wine actions with WINEDEBUG=+d3d variable starting gtasa on intel and nvidia cards. It seems that the only errors which may have some sense in for this problem: trace:d3d:test_arb_vs_offset_limit OpenGL implementation does not allow indirect addressing offsets > 63 trace:d3d:test_arb_vs_offset_limit error: "1054: integer value out of range" on intel, and trace:d3d:test_arb_vs_offset_limit OpenGL implementation allows offsets > 63 on nvidia. Seems this *could* be the problem, though i'm not sure. Here are logs: nvidia pastebin.com/f8abc125 intel pastebin.com/f14e64b47 note: these logs are from different machines with different distros, but i think it shouldn't matter much since the problem is 100% reproducible for non-nvidia cards.

Slow performance? Try this: by rswoods on Wednesday May 20th 2009, 0:23 I was getting some pretty ridiculously slow performance on this game and no amount of turning down the effects was working. When I opened the stream.ini file in the SA directory and changed "memory" and "dev_kit memory" up waaaay higher (i set them at 50000) performance sped up to where it was actually playable and enjoyable. Good luck ! [post new] [reply to this]

Control problem by Jan Kaláb on Saturday March 14th 2009, 4:55 Hi, I've a little problem with my controls. It seems like forward and left is always pressed. So CJ is still running diagonaly. And also in menus, the sliders (like volmue or mouse sensitivity) are always decreasing when mouse cursor is above them. Any idea what's wrong and how may I fix this? I've Ubuntu 8.10 64bit and Wine 1.1.16 (waiting for 17.deb). P.S. It's not joystick problem because I don't own any. [post new] [reply to this]
