<div>==Requirements==<br />
<br />
* A Linux distribution supporting Bottles/Soda (e.g. Linux Mint). This guide uses Bazzite which is based on Fedora<br />
* Bottles with Soda runner (you can download from [https://flathub.org/apps/com.usebottles.bottles Flathub])<br />
* A copy of GTA:SA<br />
* [https://www.multitheftauto.com/ MTA Installer .exe]<br />
<br />
==Installing Bottles/Soda==<br />
<br />
* Install Bottles via your Distro package manager. For Bazzite, the "Discover App Store" provides the latest builds to install<br />
* After installing, launch Bottles and let it do some initialization on first startup<br />
* When it's loaded up, click on the plus icon on the top left corner to create a new Bottle<br />
* Enter a name for the Bottle, this can be a generic name like "Gaming Stuff" since it won't be limited to just GTA/MTA<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-1.png|frameless|800px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
* Make sure to select "Gaming" option, the Runner should be:<br />
* Starting with MTA 1.6.23598 and 1.7.25888, you have to select "caffe-9.7" Runner!<br />
* If you choose "soda-9.0-1", MTA won't start because of missing "CopyFile2" implementation!<br />
* Click on "Create" and let the setup create the new environment, this can take a few minutes<br />
* The Bottle should now appear in the list, click on it to open it<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-2.png|frameless|800px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
* Download the latest build of MTA:SA from the website, important note: Use the windows 10+ version, not the older win7/8.x one!<br />
* After the installer got downloaded, click on the blue icon which says "Run Executable..." and select the MTA installer<br />
* Navigate through the MTA installer until you reach the point where you have to locate the GTA:SA installation<br />
* Now you need a copy of GTA:SA, in this case I downloaded mine from Steam. Right click GTA:SA in your library, go to Properties, Installed Files and select "Browse Files" which opens the file explorer<br />
<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-3.png|frameless|800px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
* Go back to the Bottles application, on top right side of window should be three vertical points as an icon, click on it and select "Browse Files" to open a new file explorer window with the Bottles drive_c directory<br />
* Copy the GTA folder from Steam location to drive_c/Program Files (x86) folder<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-4.png|frameless|800px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
* After copying, go back to the MTA installer window, adjust the file path of the GTA installation to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Grand Theft Auto San Andreas\" or whatever your GTA installation is called<br />
* Before completing the installation, uncheck the "Launch MTA" tickbox, we do NOT want to run MTA from the installer instance<br />
* Inside your Bottles window, click on "+ Add Shortcuts..." and find the "Multi Theft Auto.exe", which should be located in "drive_c/Program Files (x86)/MTA San Andreas 1.6/"<br />
* '''You are good to go now''', just click on the play icon.<br />
**You can also add MTA to your Bottles library via three dots icon so it looks like this:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
==Manually updating MTA==<br />
* To install a newer version of MTA manually, for example nightly, simply download the installer executable from nightly website.<br />
* Go into your Bottle where you previously installed GTA and MTA.<br />
* Click on the blue button on top that says "Run executable..." and select the new MTA installer you just downloaded.<br />
* Simply click through the MTA installer to the end (GTA path and settings will be taken from the installed version) and remove the check box which says "Run MTA:SA" at the end.<br />
* Click on MTA:SA shortcut to run the newly installed version.<br />
<br />
==Installing a second major version, for example 1.7 next to 1.6==<br />
* Before installing a new major version, go inside your Bottle and rename the already existing MTA installation shortcut from "Multi Theft Auto" to "Multi Theft Auto 1.6". Do the same for server shortcut if there is one.<br />
* Download the 1.7 MTA installer and run it via the blue icon "Run executable...".<br />
* Go through the installation setup as described above in "Manually updating MTA".<br />
* After 1.7 got installed next to already existing 1.6 version, if the Bottle does not show a new shortcut for 1.7, add one manually. Rename the shortcut to "Multi Theft Auto 1.7" to avoid confusion.<br />
<br />
==Issues and solutions==<br />
You might need to do all of these steps.<br />
<br />
# MTA fails to start because of missing fonts (Verdana, Tahoma, etc...)<br />
#* Download the fonts verdana.ttf, tahoma.ttf, tahomabd.ttf and micross.ttf from the internet and put them in '''"drive_c/windows/Fonts/"''' folder<br />
#* [[Client_on_Linux_Manual#Before_you_start|This section of the main Client on Linux manual]] contains more information and download links<br />
#* Alternatively go to your bottle, scroll down to Dependencies and click on "allfonts" to install all fonts supplied by Windows.<br />
# MTA starts and brings up main menu but the application window constantly flickers<br />
#* Try to navigate to Settings, Video tab and change Fullscreen mode to Standard<br />
# The CEF component does not load (NOT crashing), for example joining FFS Gaming server, you see no login/register panel (CEF based)<br />
#* Go to your MTA installation folder, go to MTA sub folder: '''"drive_c/Program Files (x86)/MTA San Andreas 1.6/MTA/"''' and copy the following files to '''CEF''' folder inside that '''MTA''' folder:<br />
#**CEFLauncher.exe<br />
#**CEFLauncher_DLL.dll<br />
#**cefweb.dll<br />
#**chrome_100_percent.pak<br />
#**chrome_200_percent.pak<br />
#**chrome_elf.dll<br />
#**icudtl.dat<br />
#**libcef.dll<br />
#**resources.pak<br />
#**v8_context_snapshot.bin<br />
# You did the previous step by moving CEF files manually and now installed a new version (nightly) of MTA and CEF completely crashes.<br />
#* Go to your MTA/CEF folder and delete the mentioned files above, then start MTA. If MTA reports an integrity failure upon start, run the MTA installer again.<br />
# Certain unicode characters do not render properly in chatbox and on DX elements and fall back to square/box characters. (But they render correctly on ingame console window or CEGUI elements)<br />
#* The issue is still being investigated...<br />
# DX fonts/texts are mashed together/cut off.<br />
#* This is an issue within Wine, see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59018<br />
# MTA does not start after installing/updating, no splash screen is shown, the Wine console says: "wine: Call from 7BF6CB38 to unimplemented function KERNEL32.dll.CopyFile2, aborting"<br />
#* Change the runner to "caffe-9.7"<br />
<br />
==Tweaks and tinkering==<br />
Inside your Bottle, you can change various settings for potential tweaks etc.<br />
Recommended tweaks are: LatencyFlex, Discrete Graphics, Feral GameMode</div>-ffs-PLASMAhttps://wiki.multitheftauto.com/index.php?title=Client_on_Linux_using_Bottles/Soda_Manual&diff=82621Client on Linux using Bottles/Soda Manual2025-11-23T14:09:07Z<p>-ffs-PLASMA: /* Issues and solutions */</p>

<hr />
<div>==Requirements==<br />
<br />
* A Linux distribution supporting Bottles/Soda (e.g. Linux Mint). This guide uses Bazzite which is based on Fedora<br />
* Bottles with Soda runner (you can download from [https://flathub.org/apps/com.usebottles.bottles Flathub])<br />
* A copy of GTA:SA<br />
* [https://www.multitheftauto.com/ MTA Installer .exe]<br />
<br />
==Installing Bottles/Soda==<br />
<br />
* Install Bottles via your Distro package manager. For Bazzite, the "Discover App Store" provides the latest builds to install<br />
* After installing, launch Bottles and let it do some initialization on first startup<br />
* When it's loaded up, click on the plus icon on the top left corner to create a new Bottle<br />
* Enter a name for the Bottle, this can be a generic name like "Gaming Stuff" since it won't be limited to just GTA/MTA<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-1.png|frameless|800px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
* Make sure to select "Gaming" option, the Runner needs to be "soda-9.0-1" (versions might change in future)<br />
* Click on "Create" and let the setup create the new environment, this can take a few minutes<br />
* The Bottle should now appear in the list, click on it to open it<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-2.png|frameless|800px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
* Download the latest build of MTA:SA from the website, important note: Use the windows 10+ version, not the older win7/8.x one!<br />
* After the installer got downloaded, click on the blue icon which says "Run Executable..." and select the MTA installer<br />
* Navigate through the MTA installer until you reach the point where you have to locate the GTA:SA installation<br />
* Now you need a copy of GTA:SA, in this case I downloaded mine from Steam. Right click GTA:SA in your library, go to Properties, Installed Files and select "Browse Files" which opens the file explorer<br />
<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-3.png|frameless|800px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
* Go back to the Bottles application, on top right side of window should be three vertical points as an icon, click on it and select "Browse Files" to open a new file explorer window with the Bottles drive_c directory<br />
* Copy the GTA folder from Steam location to drive_c/Program Files (x86) folder<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-4.png|frameless|800px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
* After copying, go back to the MTA installer window, adjust the file path of the GTA installation to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Grand Theft Auto San Andreas\" or whatever your GTA installation is called<br />
* Before completing the installation, uncheck the "Launch MTA" tickbox, we do NOT want to run MTA from the installer instance<br />
* Inside your Bottles window, click on "+ Add Shortcuts..." and find the "Multi Theft Auto.exe", which should be located in "drive_c/Program Files (x86)/MTA San Andreas 1.6/"<br />
* '''You are good to go now''', just click on the play icon.<br />
**You can also add MTA to your Bottles library via three dots icon so it looks like this:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
==Manually updating MTA==<br />
* To install a newer version of MTA manually, for example nightly, simply download the installer executable from nightly website.<br />
* Go into your Bottle where you previously installed GTA and MTA.<br />
* Click on the blue button on top that says "Run executable..." and select the new MTA installer you just downloaded.<br />
* Simply click through the MTA installer to the end (GTA path and settings will be taken from the installed version) and remove the check box which says "Run MTA:SA" at the end.<br />
* Click on MTA:SA shortcut to run the newly installed version.<br />
<br />
==Installing a second major version, for example 1.7 next to 1.6==<br />
* Before installing a new major version, go inside your Bottle and rename the already existing MTA installation shortcut from "Multi Theft Auto" to "Multi Theft Auto 1.6". Do the same for server shortcut if there is one.<br />
* Download the 1.7 MTA installer and run it via the blue icon "Run executable...".<br />
* Go through the installation setup as described above in "Manually updating MTA".<br />
* After 1.7 got installed next to already existing 1.6 version, if the Bottle does not show a new shortcut for 1.7, add one manually. Rename the shortcut to "Multi Theft Auto 1.7" to avoid confusion.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Warning|This page was created with limited knowledge of running Multi Theft Auto on the Steam Deck. Further testing is needed and steps may change as more knowledge is gained.}}<br />
{{Note|Connecting a keyboard and mouse to your Steam Deck is recommended when following this guide.}}<br />
<br />
==Other Methods==<br />
A more simpler and straight forward way is using Bottles/Soda on Steam Deck, see<br />
[[Client on Linux using Bottles/Soda Manual]]<br />
<br />
The instructions below can still be used on Steam Deck but require more fiddling around with Proton and the system.<br />
<br />
==Prerequisites==<br />
* A Steam Deck with the default OS (SteamOS) installed<br />
* A copy of GTA San Andreas, either through Steam or copied over into your SteamOS<br />
* Multi Theft Auto installer (download latest Win10+ release [https://multitheftauto.com here])<br />
* Windows fonts (Download a ZIP archive with all three [https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4SUSkTXjliXZnBXV2pEWkdTTms here] and extract it):<br />
** tahoma.ttf<br />
** tahomabd.ttf<br />
** verdana.ttf<br />
<br />
==MTA installation==<br />
# Switch to desktop mode if not there already.<br />
# Download the latest Multi Theft Auto version from the [https://multitheftauto.com official website].<br />
# Add the installer as a non-Steam game (open up the context menu and click "Add To Steam").<br />
# Switch to game mode.<br />
# Locate the installer in the non-Steam game section in your Steam library.<br />
# Open the context menu and click "properties", then switch to the "compatibility tab". Here select the latest (non-experimental) version of Proton.<br />
# Close properties and run the installer.<br />
# Follow all the steps, it's advisable to not change the path to your MTA installation. Select (or type) your GTA San Andreas installation path when prompted.<br />
<br />
===Locating your MTA installation===<br />
Proton creates a virtual filesystem for Windows. We need to locate the path it created for your MTA installation as we'll need it for the next steps.<br />
<br />
# Switch to desktop mode.<br />
# Navigate to <pre>/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/</pre><br />
# Locate the folder (these folders represent app IDs) that contains your installation. Either by sorting by newest or by opening them up and navigating to <pre>/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/<ID>/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/</pre> to verify that a folder for MTA (MTA San Andreas 1.6) exists.<br />
# Note down this ID once found.<br />
<br />
===Installing Windows fonts===<br />
# Copy the fonts you downloaded and put them in <pre>/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/<ID>/pfx/drive_c/windows/fonts</pre><br />
<br />
===Getting MTA to run===<br />
{{Note|Testing has shown that it's advisable to have a PC with an existing MTA installation running during your first startup. This is similar to running MTA in a VM, as it will take on the serial from this PC which should prevent the "serial cannot be validated" error.}}<br />
You're nearly there. We're now going to swap the MTA installation executable with the MTA launcher itself in your existing non-Steam game setup.<br />
<br />
# Switch to game mode.<br />
# Navigate to your non-Steam game section in your Steam library and locate the installer from earlier.<br />
# Open up properties and look for "target".<br />
# Modify the existing target with the path to your MTA installation (make sure to keep the double quotes!). By default it would be as follows: <pre>"/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/<ID>/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/MTA San Andreas 1.6"</pre><br />
# Start Multi Theft Auto and enjoy! You may have to select your GTA San Andreas installation path once more.<br />
<br />
==Troubleshooting==<br />
* Missing tahoma.ttf/verdana.ttf font error<br />
** Download the fonts [https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4SUSkTXjliXZnBXV2pEWkdTTms here] and put them in <pre>/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/<ID>/pfx/drive_c/windows/fonts</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
* Flickering taskbar after MTA started (desktop mode)<br />
** Workarround for now, go to settings -> video tab and change resolution to 1280x720 windowed (DO NOT USE FULLSCREEN MODE)<br />
<br />
<br />
* MTA crashes when entering main menu after selecting fullscreen mode in video settings tab (D3D9.dll crash offset ED711)<br />
** Manually revert this setting by going to <pre>/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/<ID>/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/MTA San Andreas 1.6/MTA/config</pre> and opening coreconfig.xml with KWrite application. Search for "display_fullscreen_style" and change the property from 0 to 1.<br />
<br />
<br />
* There was a problem validating your serial<br />
** Follow the guide over [https://updatesa.multitheftauto.com/sa/trouble/?tr=serial-validation here] and setup the linux server on steamdeck<br />
<br />
<br />
* Cannot start linux server on steamdeck due to missing libncurses5 file/lib<br />
** Download the ncurses5-compat-libs [https://arch.alerque.com/x86_64/ncurses5-compat-libs-6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst here]. After downloading, open terminal inside Downloads folder and run following commands:<br />
<pre><br />
sudo steamos-readonly disable<br />
sudo pacman -U ncurses5-compat-libs-6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst<br />
sudo steamos-readonly enable<br />
</pre><br />

<div>==Requirements==<br />
<br />
* A Linux distribution supporting Bottles/Soda (e.g. Linux Mint). This guide uses Bazzite which is based on Fedora<br />
* Bottles with Soda runner (you can download from [https://flathub.org/apps/com.usebottles.bottles Flathub])<br />
* A copy of GTA:SA<br />
* [https://www.multitheftauto.com/ MTA Installer .exe]<br />
<br />
==Installing Bottles/Soda==<br />
<br />
* Install Bottles via your Distro package manager. For Bazzite, the "Discover App Store" provides the latest builds to install<br />
* After installing, launch Bottles and let it do some initialization on first startup<br />
* When it's loaded up, click on the plus icon on the top left corner to create a new Bottle<br />
* Enter a name for the Bottle, this can be a generic name like "Gaming Stuff" since it won't be limited to just GTA/MTA<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-1.png|frameless|800px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
* Make sure to select "Gaming" option, the Runner needs to be "soda-9.0-1" (versions might change in future)<br />
* Click on "Create" and let the setup create the new environment, this can take a few minutes<br />
* The Bottle should now appear in the list, click on it to open it<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-2.png|frameless|800px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
* Download the latest build of MTA:SA from the website, important note: Use the windows 10+ version, not the older win7/8.x one!<br />
* After the installer got downloaded, click on the blue icon which says "Run Executable..." and select the MTA installer<br />
* Navigate through the MTA installer until you reach the point where you have to locate the GTA:SA installation<br />
* Now you need a copy of GTA:SA, in this case I downloaded mine from Steam. Right click GTA:SA in your library, go to Properties, Installed Files and select "Browse Files" which opens the file explorer<br />
<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-3.png|frameless|800px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
* Go back to the Bottles application, on top right side of window should be three vertical points as an icon, click on it and select "Browse Files" to open a new file explorer window with the Bottles drive_c directory<br />
* Copy the GTA folder from Steam location to drive_c/Program Files (x86) folder<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-4.png|frameless|800px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
* After copying, go back to the MTA installer window, adjust the file path of the GTA installation to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Grand Theft Auto San Andreas\" or whatever your GTA installation is called<br />
* Before completing the installation, uncheck the "Launch MTA" tickbox, we do NOT want to run MTA from the installer instance<br />
* Inside your Bottles window, click on "+ Add Shortcuts..." and find the "Multi Theft Auto.exe", which should be located in "drive_c/Program Files (x86)/MTA San Andreas 1.6/"<br />
* '''You are good to go now''', just click on the play icon.<br />
**You can also add MTA to your Bottles library via three dots icon so it looks like this:<br />

<br />
<br />
==Issues and solutions==<br />
You might need to do all of these steps.<br />
<br />
# MTA fails to start because of missing fonts (Verdana, Tahoma, etc...)<br />
#* Download the fonts verdana.ttf, tahoma.ttf, tahomabd.ttf and micross.ttf from the internet and put them in '''"drive_c/windows/Fonts/"''' folder<br />
#* [[Client_on_Linux_Manual#Before_you_start|This section of the main Client on Linux manual]] contains more information and download links<br />
#* Alternatively go to your bottle, scroll down to Dependencies and click on "allfonts" to install all fonts supplied by Windows.<br />
# MTA starts and brings up main menu but the application window constantly flickers<br />
#* Try to navigate to Settings, Video tab and change Fullscreen mode to Standard<br />
# The CEF component does not load (NOT crashing), for example joining FFS Gaming server, you see no login/register panel (CEF based)<br />
#* Go to your MTA installation folder, go to MTA sub folder: '''"drive_c/Program Files (x86)/MTA San Andreas 1.6/MTA/"''' and copy the following files to '''CEF''' folder inside that '''MTA''' folder:<br />
#**CEFLauncher.exe<br />
#**CEFLauncher_DLL.dll<br />
#**cefweb.dll<br />
#**chrome_100_percent.pak<br />
#**chrome_200_percent.pak<br />
#**chrome_elf.dll<br />
#**icudtl.dat<br />
#**libcef.dll<br />
#**resources.pak<br />
#**v8_context_snapshot.bin<br />
# You did the previous step by moving CEF files manually and now installed a new version (nightly) of MTA and CEF completely crashes.<br />
#* Go to your MTA/CEF folder and delete the mentioned files above, then start MTA. If MTA reports an integrity failure upon start, run the MTA installer again.<br />
<br />
==Tweaks and tinkering==<br />
Inside your Bottle, you can change various settings for potential tweaks etc.<br />
Recommended tweaks are: LatencyFlex, Discrete Graphics, Feral GameMode</div>-ffs-PLASMAhttps://wiki.multitheftauto.com/index.php?title=Client_on_Linux_using_Bottles/Soda_Manual&diff=82255Client on Linux using Bottles/Soda Manual2025-07-22T15:27:33Z<p>-ffs-PLASMA: /* Issues and solutions */</p>

<br />
==Installing Bottles/Soda==<br />
<br />
# Install Bottles via your Distro packet manager, for Bazzite, the "Discover App Store" provides the latest builds to install<br />
# After installing, launch Bottles and let it do some initialization on first startup<br />
# When it's loaded up, click on the plus icon on the top left corner to create a new Bottle<br />
#* Enter a name for the Bottle, this can be a generic name like "Gaming Stuff" since it won't be limited to just GTA/MTA<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-1.png]]<br />
#* Make sure to select "Gaming" option, the Runner needs to be "soda-9.0-1" (versions might change in future)<br />
#* Click on "Create" and let the setup create the new environment, this can take a few minutes<br />
# The Bottle should now appear in the list, click on it to open it<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-2.png]]<br />
# Download the latest build of MTA:SA from the website, important note: Use the windows 10+ version, not the older win7/8.x one!<br />
# After the installer got downloaded, click on the blue icon which says "Run Executable..." and select the MTA installer<br />
#* Navigate through the MTA installer until you reach the point where you have to locate the GTA:SA installation<br />
#* Now you need a copy of GTA:SA, in this case I downloaded mine from Steam. Right click GTA:SA in your library, go to Properties, Installed Files and select "Browse Files" which opens the file explorer<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-3.png]]<br />
#* Go back to the Bottles application, on top right side of window should be three vertical points as an icon, click on it and select "Browse Files" to open a new file explorer window with the Bottles drive_c directory<br />
#* Copy the GTA folder from Steam location to drive_c/Program Files (x86) folder<br />
[[File:Linux-bottles-soda-setup-4.png]]<br />
#* After copying, go back to the MTA installer window, adjust the file path of the GTA installation to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Grand Theft Auto San Andreas\" or whatever your GTA installation is called<br />
#* Before completing the installation, uncheck the "Launch MTA" tickbox, we do NOT want to run MTA from the installer instance<br />
# Inside your Bottles window, click on "+ Add Shortcuts..." and find the "Multi Theft Auto.exe", which should be located in "drive_c/Program Files (x86)/MTA San Andreas 1.6/"<br />
# You are good to go now, just click on the play icon. You can also add MTA to your Bottles library via three dots icon so it looks like this:<br />

<br />
During this tutorial, make sure to '''only use 32-bit Wine prefix''' for MTA:SA, or else you'll run into a plethora of hard-to-fix issues.<br />
<br />
===Requirements===<br />
The hardware requirements for Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas are the same as on Windows.<br />
For software requirements, you need:<br />
* Wine (get it on your package manager (synaptic, apt, pacman, yum, etc.); follow instructions [https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu here] if you're using Ubuntu; (Install Wine Staging if you want better audio quality (experimental))<br />
* Winetricks (same as wine, get it on your package manager, or follow instructions [https://wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks here])<br />
* 32-bit GPU mesa drivers for your GPU (for arch, use package lib32-mesa)<br />
* 32-bit Audio drivers (for arch, follow instructions [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/wine#Sound here]<br />
* TLS libraries (for arch, use packages gnutls and lib32-gnutls)<br />
* MTA:SA version 1.6 or newer (1.6 contains many improvements for Wine)<br />
* Windows fonts:<br />
** tahoma.ttf<br />
** tahomabd.ttf<br />
** verdana.ttf<br />
<br />
You can download them from following places:<br />
* Get them on the Internet, e.g. [http://fontonic.com/ fontonic.com]<br />
* Get the zip archive with the 3 fonts {{WineFonts}}.<br />
* Get them via your package manager (apt, pacman (ttf-tahoma and ttf-ms-fonts from AUR))<br />
<br />
==Create new 32-bit prefix==<br />
<br />
Firstly, we need to create 32-bit prefix, as default Wine prefix is almost always 64-bit:<br />
<br />
# Start Winetricks<br />
# Select '''Create new prefix'''<br />
# Select '''32-bit prefix'''<br />
# Write name of prefix, we will use '''mtasa'''<br />
<br />
==Installing the game==<br />
(You can skip this if you installed the game via Steam or other supported Games Store)<br />
Install the game from DVD or ISO into our prefix, by executing following command:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/mtasa wine /mnt/setup.exe<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
(Replace /mnt/setup.exe with path to installer's setup.exe)<br />
<br />
Complete the installation as usual, you can keep installation path as is.<br/><br />
Afterwards, download the MTA installer from [http://www.mtasa.com mtasa.com], and execute it inside our prefix with following command:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/mtasa wine ~/Downloads/mtasa-1.6.exe<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
(As previously, change path to the installer)<br/><br />
Keep the options as is, only change is required if installation path of GTA is different from default, in that case, browse the path to the game.<br />
<br />
==Configuring prefix==<br />
<br />
Firstly, we need to assure that our prefix have required fonts, mentioned in Requirements part. If you installed those fonts via package manager or into your Linux system, Wine should be able to pick them up automatically.<br/><br />
If that doesn't work, manually install them in <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">~/.local/share/wineprefixes/mtasa/drive_c/windows/Fonts</syntaxhighlight>.<br />
<br />
If you installed Wine Staging, we can enable '''Environmental Audio Extensions (EAX)''', which is experimental feature, although I didn't encountered any issues with it.<br />
You can enable it as follows:<br />
<br />
# Open Winetricks<br />
# Select '''mtasa prefix'''<br />
# Select '''Run winecfg'''<br />
# Go to '''Staging''' tab<br />
# Enable Environmental Audio Extensions (EAX)<br />
<br />
==Running the game==<br />
Once installed, double-clicking on the Desktop shortcut or menu item should work. If not, try in a terminal the following command:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/mtasa wine ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/mtasa/drive_c/Program\ Files/MTA\ San\ Andreas\ 1.6\Multi\ Theft\ Auto.exe<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
===Known issues===<br />
* MTA isn't starting (even with fonts installed)<br />
#Try to start MTA:SA in a virtual desktop<br />
#:Go to WineConfig, choose the tab "Graphics" and select "Emulate a virtual desktop".<br><br />
#Try to delete your gta_sa.set file<br />
#:which is located in the "GTA San Andreas User Files" folder, which can be found in your home directory.<br>'''(Remember to create a copy, if you're playing San Andreas in singleplayer)'''<br />
#Try to delete your MTA config file<br />
#:which is: "MTA San Andreas 1.6/MTA/coreconfig.xml"<br>'''(Also remember to create a copy, if you don't want to lose your edited MTA configuration)'''<br />
<br />
* "SD #16 Error" when connecting to a server<br />
* "No audio card detected" when launching either GTA:SA or MTA<br />
* Using standard Full-screen mode on MTA might cause some occasional artifacts<br />
* Enabling DXVK might not break GTA:SA, but it breaks MTA<br />
* Using Linux brings a higher-than-usual chance for game crashes due to various reasons (sometimes to do with resources & mods on individual servers)<br />
* CEF crashes with some wine versions. Use [https://github.com/multitheftauto/mtasa-blue/issues/1000 workaround] for this issue<br />
<br><br><br />
'''* Making the mistake of using a 64-bit prefix may ''specifically'' result in:'''<br />
* "SD #16 Error" when connecting to a server<br />
* "libcef.dll" MTA crash upon joining servers, or during gameplay (when server uses CEF and your CEF web browser is enabled)<br />
* Even higher chance for instability, lag issues and game crashes<br />
.. and much more<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
===Specific issues with workarounds===<br />
<br><br />
'''Crash when connecting'''<br><br />
Sometimes the audio-server makes problems (could be related to PulseAudio), in this case, you've to go to WineConfig and choose the tab Audio, then deselect "ALSA" and select "EsoundD". Save the settings and restart MTA.<br><br><br />
'''Crash in basswma.dll module while streaming audio'''<br><br />
Workaround: Install Windows Media Player 11<br><br />
Before carrying this out, [https://wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks install Winetricks]<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"><br />
winetricks -q wmp11<br />
<br />
If that doesnt solve the issue, try an older version:<br />
winetricks -q wmp10<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
'''Special Detections (SD)'''<br><br />
This was already described above in general terms, of possible issues if you're not using 32-bit prefix as is recommended. But for this "Specific issues" section we will go in-depth more regarding '''SD #21''' kick from AC that commonly affects Linux/Wine users:<br><br />
If you are using a 64-bit wine version/prefix you may have problems with [http://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Anti-cheat_guide#.3Cenablesd.3E.3C.2Fenablesd.3E Special Detections]. If the server you are trying to connect keeps showing something like [http://i.imgur.com/33T8a82.jpg this], then you should make a [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wine#WINEARCH 32 bit wine prefix] (or bottle).<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">export WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.winegta<br />
winecfg</syntaxhighlight><br />
Look at your Windows version and press OK to create the prefix. Now you have a 32-bit wine prefix on ~/.winegta.<br />
Install GTA:SA and them MTA.<br />
After this, MTA and GTA have been installed within ~/.winegta prefix which is a 32-bit wine environment.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': In some scenario's, while creating your 32-bit prefix, it may be needed to change Windows version on the bottom to Windows 7. But avoid it whenever possible.<br />
<br><br><br />
'''Font Artifacts'''<br><br />
If you see weird fonts artifacts [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/278521065435824128/1000827089022373978/unknown.png like this] then you need to add a new DLL override to your prefix/bottle. <br><br />
#Open '''Wine configuration''' for your prefix/bottle, go to the Libraries tab<br />
#Click on the ''''New override for library''':' dropdown and select ''''d3dx9_42''''<br />
#Click on ''''Edit...'''' and select ''''Builtin (Wine)'''' then 'OK'<br />
Apply all the changes and you're good to go.<br><br />
(Make sure you have ''''d3dx9_42'''' installed in your prefix)<br />
<syntaxhighlight> winetricks d3dx9_42</syntaxhighlight><br><br><br />
<br />
'''Closing words'''<br><br />
To avoid many of the roadblocks when it comes to Linux/Wine issues in general, just use 32-bit Prefix as suggested. However, if you still run into issues, you can inform yourself better about MTA's Linux/Mac support levels and background by joining the [https://discord.gg/mtasa MTA discord] and going to #help-support channel, to specifically read information at this pinned message: https://discord.com/channels/278474088903606273/278521065435824128/894932698269900830<br />
<br><br />
<br />
We realize that the wiki pages & documentation regarding Linux, macOS support (such as: through Wine, Lutris, PlayOnLinux, Parallels Desktop etc) is far from perfect, and that the list of potential issues you can run into isn't complete. As the MTA discord linked post tries to explain, these platforms are supported on a best-effort basis (in a technical sense, not an user support sense) and even then you'll find others on the MTA discord that are Linux users & play MTA after performing some workarounds, that may be willing to help you. These people are also advised to add any known issue (and workaround for it) to the wiki documentations, so if that sounds like you then feel free to edit this page for instance, and help future users that find themselves in the same situation as you were. Linux/Wine just gives really obscure, hard to fix issues with MTA and other applications/games, including niche ones that individual users happen to resolve somehow.. that's the point.<br />
