{{Warning|This page is for Linux players '''ONLY''', for Windows go [[Client Manual|here]].|true}}

==Lutris==

Lutris can be used instead for easier Prefix management, see
[[Client on Linux using Lutris Manual]]

==Before you start==

First of all, please ensure your computer fits the requirements needed.
Read the [[Client_Manual|Client Manual]] page for further informations, or join us on [https://mtasa.com/discord Discord].

===Requirements===
The hardware requirements for Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas are the same as on Windows.
For software requirements, you need:
* 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
(as of MTA 1.4.1 Ubuntu's default Wine package seems to be incompatible with Visual C++, which is required to install MTA)
* Windows fonts installed:
** tahoma.ttf
** tahomabd.ttf
** verdana.ttf
Get them on the Internet, e.g. [http://fontonic.com/ fontonic.com]

Or get the zip archive with the 3 fonts {{WineFonts}}.

Install them in: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Fonts/</syntaxhighlight>
(~/ points to your user home folder on Linux, .wine is the default wineprefix)

==Installing the game==
Download the MTA installer from [http://www.mtasa.com mtasa.com], ensure you can launch it (chmod +x) then install it when you want.

==Running the game==
Once installed, double-clicking on the Multi Theft Auto.exe should work. If not, try in a terminal the following command: "wine Multi Theft Auto.exe" in the directory you installed Multi Theft Auto to.
If it doesn't work, check the contents of the file c:/Program_Files/Multi Theft Auto/MTA/CEGUI.log, which may contain useful information.

==Known issues==
===Specific issues===
* Impossible connection through the server browser [Fixed in the [http://bugs.mtasa.com/view.php?id=5084 5084 bug] ]

* MTA won't start on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [Temporary fix is available [http://forum.mtasa.com/viewtopic.php?p=434011#p434011 here] ]

===Other issues===
* MTA isn't starting (even with fonts installed)
#Try to start MTA:SA in a virtual desktop
#:Go to WineConfig, choose the tab "Graphics" and select "Emulate a virtual desktop". 
#Try to delete your gta_sa.set file
#:which is located in the "GTA San Andreas User Files" folder, which can be found in your home directory. '''(Remember to create a copy, if you're playing San Andreas in singleplayer)'''
#Try to delete your MTA config file
#:which is: "MTA San Andreas 1.3/MTA/coreconfig.xml" '''(Also remember to create a copy, if you don't want to lose your edited MTA configuration)'''

* Crash when connecting
*: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.
* Crash in basswma.dll module while streaming audio
*:Install Windows Media Player 10
*:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
winetricks wmp10
</syntaxhighlight>
* Special Detections (SD)
*:If you are using a 64 wine version 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 [http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wine#Using_WINEARCH 32 bit wine prefix] (or bottle).
*:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">export WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.winegta
winecfg</syntaxhighlight>
Change Windows version on the bottom to Windows 7 and press OK. Now you have a 32-bit wine prefix on ~/.winegta.
Install GTA:SA and them MTA.
After this, MTA and GTA have been installed within ~/.winegta prefix which is a 32-bit wine environment.

Client on Linux using Lutris Manual

2021-09-15T09:04:22Z

Christopher S 25:

==Requirements==

* Basic knowledge about the [https://linuxconfig.org/using-wine-prefixes Wine Prefix]
* [https://lutris.net/downloads/ Lutris]
* Lutris Wine Runner: lutris-6.1-3
* A prefix with GTA:SA V1.0 installation (Lutris can be used)
* [https://www.mtasa.com/ MTA Installer]

==Installing MTA==

# On Lutris, Add a Game:
#* Game Info -> Name: Multi Theft Auto
#* Game Options -> Wine Prefix: '''Same as the GTA:SA installation prefix'''
#* Runner Options -> Wine Version: lutris-6.1-3
#* Runner Options -> Enable DXVK/VKD3D: Disabled
# On Lutris, click on Multi Theft Auto and on the bottom bar, click on the Wine popup menu and select Run EXE inside Wine prefix
#* On the File Manager that appears, find and select the MTA Setup executable that you downloaded
# Run the setup normally, defaults should be working fine
#* Before finishing setup, make sure you untick Run MTA
# On Lutris, right click Multi Theft Auto and select Configure
#* Game Options -> Executable: Should point to "Multi Theft Auto.exe" inside the Wine Prefix path (eg. "{Wine Prefix path}/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/MTA San Andreas 1.5/Multi Theft Auto.exe")
# On Lutris, click on Multi Theft Auto and on the bottom bar, click on the Wine popup menu and select Winetricks
#* Select the default wineprefix -> Install a font -> Check Tahoma and Verdana
# On Lutris, launch Multi Theft Auto
#* You should be greeted with an "Error serial", but that's actually a good sign, continue to solve it
# In order to solve the "Error serial", [https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Server_Manual#Linux_installation download and run the Linux Native MTA Server]
#* '''After about a minute running the server''', close it
# On Lutris, launch Multi Theft Auto
#* MTA should launch without any issues, as well as successfully connect to servers

==Updating MTA==

Updating MTA through the client itself doesn't work. You have to manually download the new version of [https://www.mtasa.com/ MTA Installer], and install it by repeating Steps 2 and 3 on [[#Installing MTA|Installing MTA]] section

==Tips==

* This setup works with MTA 1.5.8 (tested)
* There are probably some Lutris Scripts available for installing MTA, but doing it manually should work better (untested)
* Ignore any Wine Mono and Wine Gecko installation prompts, as they are not needed for MTA (tested)
* The [https://github.com/Frogging-Family/wine-tkg-git/releases/tag/6.1.r0.gf6dacd2f wine-tkg 6.1] version works and can be used instead of the Lutris one (tested)
* For audio streaming, installing "wmp10" using Winetricks from Lutris might help (untested)
* Make sure you also check [[Client on Linux Manual]] for more info

==Known Issues==

* Using any other Wine version other than 6.1 might result to:
** "SD #16 Error" when connecting to a server, or
** "No audio card detected" when launching either GTA:SA or MTA
* Using standard Full-screen mode on MTA might cause some occasional artifacts
* Enabling DXVK might not break GTA:SA, but it breaks MTA (thanks Lpsd!)
* Some crashes might occur on some servers for various reasons
