GTA Vice City runs in Linux

I just tried installing Vice City today with wine 20041019 and the loki installer. I couldnt start a new game as an error msg would pop up everytime i tried that so i got a saved game frm the net and it worked out.

Everything seems to be fine 'cept for the audio which is choppy and the game speed which is still quite slow.

Hi iamroot,
 
Did you try it yet with Winex/Cedega?

Nope. Don't have a credit card to pay for the subscription. But i've heard that it works much better in winex/cedega than wine, with no audio problems.

Has anybody here tried running GTA VC in Wine and managed to solve the audio problem?

I solved the audio problem with my wine config file which isn't always included anymore - I compile it from source and choose to have it until winecfg is finished. ANyhoo- using the sound driver winealsa instead of wineoss worked beautifully - but the 3d got even slower.

Get a copy of the GTA Vice City cds and the loki GTA Vice City installer. Install it and run the game in WINE. Quite straightforward really.
