Before you start
First of all, please ensure your computer fits the requirements needed. Read the Client Manual page for further informations, or join us on IRC @ irc://irc.multitheftauto.com/mta
Requirements
The hardware requirements for Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas are the same than on Windows. For software requirements, you need:
- Wine (get it on your package manager (synaptic, apt, pacman, yum etc.)
- Windows fonts installed:
- tahoma.ttf
- tahomabd.ttf
- verdana.ttf
Get them on the Internet, e.g. fontonic.com
Or get the zip archive with the 3 fonts here: wine_mta_fonts.zip
Install them in:
~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Fonts/
(~/ points to your user home folder on Linux)
Installing the game
Download the MTA installer from 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
- Impossible connection through the server browser [Fixed in the 5084 bug ]
