Stopped working in Wine

[Vaporize]

I've followed this guide: http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... _with_wine

To get MTA to work in wine. And it actualy did! I was pretty excited but somehow it stopped working.

I've deleted the menu.mkv and then created the coreconfig.xml in my gta:sa/MTA folder. The unix.dll is also in the MTA folder and the MTA_SA_unix.exe is inside my gta root folder.

So it should work, but when i start MTA_SA_unix.exe first i get a dialog box that says:

[Load]

Z:\media\sda4\GTA San Andreas\Gta San Andreas\MTA

Z:\media\sda4\GTA San Andreas\Gta San Andreas\ is the root folder of Gta san andreas

MTA is installed on Z:\media\sda4\MTA, don't know if that matters

When I click on OK it closes and my terminal gives this message:

fixme:advapi:SetEntriesInAclA 1 0x177f060 (nil) 0x177f05c

fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub

GTA:SA works just fine so that won't be the problem

Any ideas?

I also tried MTA:SA nightly in wine 1.1.19/Ubuntu 8.10/Nvidia driver 180.11 from repos.

This is what I did:

1. Downloaded latest nightly build (mtasadm-1.0-r656.exe) and installed without problems into an existing wineprefix with San Andreas installed*
   
2. Downloaded the dependencies (multitheftauto_data-r636.exe) and installed
   
3. Unpacked resources multitheftauto_resources-r129.zip (which are apparently not needed)

*San Andreas singleplayer itself works like a charm

This is the output it gave me:

$ wine 'Multi Theft Auto.exe' 
fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC90.CRT" (9.0.21022.
err:module:import_dll Library MSVCP90.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Programme\\MTA San Andreas\\mta\\core.dll") not found 
err:module:import_dll Library MSVCR90.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Programme\\MTA San Andreas\\mta\\core.dll") not found 
err:module:attach_process_dlls "gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting 
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Programme\\Rockstar Games\\GTA San Andreas\\gta_sa.exe" failed, status c0000005 

So I ran "winetricks vcrun2008" which solved the missing dll issues.

Now the game gives me the same output as yours:

$ wine 'Multi Theft Auto.exe' 
fixme:advapi:SetEntriesInAclA 1 0x197e65c (nil) 0x197e658 
fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub 

I think there are missing the right debug parameters that let wine say what is wrong.

Looks like these pages

http://www.multitheftauto.com/71.html

http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... _with_wine

are pretty outdated.

I would be really happy if any dev would work on this, since I think there are many linux gamers like me out there appreciating not being forced to boot into windows for playing MTA:SA

Edit: The file MTA/core.log shows the following error:

** -- Unhandled exception -- **

Edit2: Replacing the user32.dll with native one from windows partition does not help, MTA crashes with same error in core.log

Edit2: dp2.3 does not work either as Vaporize said above, even with unix loader

That's exactly the same as what's happening to me, you could use "env WINEDEBUG=fixme-all wine MTA_SA_unix.exe", which would fix the two fix-me's but the game wouldn't load at all, just the message box as explained above, with "Load" and the install path

Any idea how to fix this?

btw.: here's the dump data I get (located in $GTA_ROOT/MTA/dump/), when running it, maybe a developer could take some eye on it -> http://www.file-upload.eu/download-1631888/client_05102009_0117.dmp.html

[...] use "env WINEDEBUG=fixme-all wine MTA_SA_unix.exe", which would fix the two fix-me's but the game wouldn't load at all, [...]

Hiding the fixme messages does not fix them I think.

[...] just the message box as explained above, with "Load" and the install path [...]

This is because MTA does not find the GTA:SA directory, normaly located at "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas". You must have GTA:SA singleplayer installed in the same wine prefix (e.g. ~/.wine) as MTA.

I hope I could help at least a little bit.

PS: I tested again with r805, the **** user32.dll crash stays.

sry for dubble post, but I think I'd update the status of MTA:SA+wine/linux...

which sadly hasn't changed since last post.

now on wine 1.1.22 and r943 the core.log still says there's some problem with user32.dll

so long...

I think MTA_SA_unix.exe doesn't make this log. I have sth like this when I start windows executable for MTA.

[IgiKoval]

I've got solution! You must start normally Multi Theft Auto.exe. Then you'll have file "a.r" in your GTA San Andreas folder, which contains a path to you "Multi Theft Auto.exe.dat" file, for example I've got "C:\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\Multi Theft Auto.exe.dat". When you started MTA, you got wine error. Don't bother. Close the wine window and start MTA_SA_unix.exe. But remember, that he'll delete your a.r file, so you'll have to do it again in next time.

I played MTA few times, and It's the proof, my method was working.

Yes, it was working, but now I've got a sound driver error, as you can se. : )

I don't know if it is just me, but the last MTA_SA_unix.exe works now for me, I just installed a new GTA:SA on a USB-stick, then installed MTA also on the usb stick and now everytime I run "wine MTA_SA_unix.exe" it shows the "Load Z:/media/blabla/Grand Theft Auto San Andreas/" box, then I click "Ok" and after 2 seconds it loads the game

the FPS are the half I get under XP, but as I get 50-70 under XP, I get 25-35 FPS here, could be better, but HEY! it works!
