Anyone running GTA3 Vice City + winex-cvs?

st.john

Just want to know how it works before I buy it..

Hows the fps compared to gta3?
Anything different required to get it running?

thanks!

Does it even work with wine(x)? If it does, I will be very happy! This game kicks major arse.

I get this strange error whenever I try to run pretty much anything in the new WineX CVS. I also get other errors and so I suspect that there's something wrong with the build.

I'm running Gentoo 1.1a with:
gcc 2.95.3-r8 and
glibc 2.2.5-r8

blk_jack: thats extremely old! why not update to newer gcc and glibc, maybe better to get a 1.4 cd and install from there, probably unrelated to the game problem, but man, that's old!

As far as emerge -u world is concerned I am up-to-date. Just not GCC 3.X.

I'm biding my time and waiting for the right moment before I have to recompile all my packages or repartition. Perhaps when 1.4 is FINALLY out

Just copied over a gta3 vc install from a windows box (the installer doesnt seem to work contrary to the one used with gta3 which does)

using the last winex-cvs the game runs "fine" (bit unstable and with the usual performance drop with d3d+winex)
However, it seemed playable (providing you have a fast pc)

kernel 2.5.70 (mm3)/xfree 4.3-r2/glibc 2.3.2-r1 (I do have to throw away the socket dir every time I used winex)

Hm, I've recently switched over to Gentoo 1.4rc4 from 1.1a (new gcc, etc, recompiled the whole system) and WineX-CVS still fails to work.

I get the same error as before, what gives! It was mentioned in the Winex forums but the guy who replied said it was a pthreads error, which I think is incorrect.

I have this suspicion that the winex-cvs ebuild isn't updating my cvs properly.

Oh well, I'm recompiiling winex-cvs right now, so I'll reply after telling my status.

Well with the latest WineX cvs I get the same error I was getting before (look up a couple of posts). Counterstrike, as always, works fine though.

all I'm getting is

wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...

I tried copying the rockstar games dir from my windows program files dir to my fake_windows program files dir but still the same

If You Subscribe To Transgaming's Services, Which i Do, You May Notice That They Have Released Version 3.1 Of Winex. Using The Latest Point2Play And Winex Tarball(s) Have Worked Excelently On My Machine. I Am Using A Pentium 4 1.7GHz And I Have To Say It Runs Almost As Well On Linux As It Does On Windows. I Did Have A Sound Problem Though, Which May Have Been My Outdated Alsa. Overall, Vice City Under Linux Is Easy, And You Should Subscribe To Transgaming Technologies' Service Because They Work Hard To Keep Games Supported Under Linux.

omw I got it working

hehe

I added "Desktop" = "800x600" to my wine config and ran it up and it works

hehe seems to be ok

the fps doesn't seem as good as windows tho but it does work

I'm running it from my windows drive in linux, didn't need to copy the game over or anything.

Seem to have one problem which is when the character is outside of the car he seems to be walking forwards all the time

* puts on vrock and steals some cars *

I have gotten both GTA3 and Vice City to work, even with their installer, no need for any windows installation and copieng

Performance is awsome, FPS is even sometimes better than under Windows, woot!

So yes there is hope, shouldn't be any problem at all to play it.

Any winex performance tips semiSfear? I get pretty average performance with a xp2400+ and geforce3 (but still very playable =), alot of sound blips too.
