Oh I didn't notice that thread when searching, my bad. However, there doesn't appear to be any solution there, but the last post might be on to something, perhaps it's a C++ issue. I recall that the MTA setup installs C++ 2008, so maybe that isn't working for whatever reason?

I'm not sure if this MTADiag can run on this OS or on Linux, but can you try running it and if it works, can you post the generated log either here using

or at PasteBin.

MTADiag works under Wine, so here's the log:

MTADiag v 2.2 by Towncivilian  
MTA path:             Z:\media\531C1353E752EF64\Games\MTA San Andreas 
Old MTA version:      1.3.0-9.04037.0.000 
MTA version:          1.3.0-9.04037.0.000 
GTA path:             Z:\media\531C1353E752EF64\Games\GTA San Andreas 
D3D9.dll present:     No 
DirectX up-to-date:   Yes 
  
Can't open C:\users\igoor\Temp\dxdiag.log 
  
tasklist >: 

I can't draw any meaningful conclusions from it, but maybe someone else can. However, it should be noted that at first it said DirectX was out-of-date and directed me to the updater, which wouldn't work, and it was unable to create a log once I exited the updater. I then checked off another DirectX .dll in Winetricks and MTADiag reported it as up-to-date, outputting that log. But the .dll now appears to be deselected in Winetricks.

Can you run GTA Single Player on your OS?

As I said in the original post, yes, GTA: San Andreas single player works just fine when running under Wine 1.4.

Try reinstalling Wine 1.4

Try reinstalling Wine 1.4

Following the instructions on that page updated it to 1.5.2 (Development release) but MTA still doesn't run. I'll try a simple reinstall of 1.4 just in case, but I don't see that working either frankly.

hmmm, now try reinstalling MTA 1.3

hmmm, now try reinstalling MTA 1.3

The MTA you linked to is a server copy. However, I reinstalled the client (After reinstalling Wine 1.4) and it still isn't working.

Sorry about that,

Are you running it on Administrator?

Sorry about that,

Are you running it on Administrator?

There is no such option in Ubuntu, and running Wine as a superuser (Sort of Linux' equivalent) through Terminal is not possible, in fact all it does is muck up the permissions for the Wine directory.

oh, sorry, What's your Security Program?

like Firewall?

EDIT: Reinstall these:

Intel

MSI

Nvidia

My firewall is the default firewall provided by Ubuntu: ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall). It has no rules set at the moment though. I don't have an anti-virus at the moment because I'm not terribly worried about the very few Linux viruses that exist (Though I am debating installing one in the future).

Edit: As for those drivers, there are no official Intel or MSI drivers for Linux, but I recently reinstalled my NVIDIA drivers, with no result.

hm, try turning your firewall off.

Sometime these firewalls block programs that connects to the internet.

Tried that, still not working unfortunately.

Yes I have, to no avail.

I've looked into Whine's site and found some results:

Thanks for the effort, but I went through Wine's site myself earlier and haven't found any working solution yet.

I have no other suggestions right now,

Let's hope someone else has something for you.

(Last Try: Try reinstalling Wine and Winetricks)

Tried reinstalling both of them, still got the same issue. Guess I'll wait till someone else picks up on this thread, thanks for trying!

np

Try installing the Visual C++ redists inside the wine "bottle", usually its missing some redists or files and fails to run.

I tried installing C++ 2008 to the Wine bottle through Wine bottle management (wibom) but it didn't seem to help. Perhaps I should be installing it some other way? Would you happen to know what files C++ 2008 consists of though? I could go into the file system and check if they're present.
