Prerequisites / Wine

Grand Theft Auto V on Linux,Do now not play this sport on a Wine prefix in 32 bit mode. You need 64 bit as a way to play it efficaciously. In order to run GTAV you want to alternate the Windows model to be Windows 7 +, XP will no longer allow the game to launch.

Grand Theft Auto V on Linux,So the Dotnet35 and forty that is shipped with Playonlinux and winetricks possibly won’t set up on a winex64, I advise putting in the total bundle / stand-alone installer package deal that incorporates all required additives to set up one-of-a-kind platforms from microsoft.Com right here [~231MB]

Also the VC redist / DX10 which is sent with the game probable will attempt to install and fail. I think it is able to have some thing to do with Bug 17273. I downloaded the brand new versions BEFORE I set up steam or GTAV, to reproduce my consequences I suggest downloading all 3 of those complete packages from microsoft.Com.

• Microsoft.Com – .NET Framework 3.5 Service % 1 (Full Package)
• Microsoft.Com – Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4
• Microsoft.Com – DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2008)

Install Steam

After setting those prerequisites, install steam.

Install GTAV

Using steam, installation the game as you commonly might, but do no longer do the primary run till later. This is type of vital as the VC redist / DX2010 which comes with the game may not deploy (they didn’t on first run for me) so i downloaded DX 10 June 2010 x64 model off of microsoft.Com, and the VC redist

Install Social Club

Latest model ONLY Very crucial, all other older variations will crash. Download the modern model 1.1.Five.Eight+ Last up to date on April 19th, 2015. This also is a restore for Max Payne three, L.A. Noire, and Red Dead Redemption. DO NOT INSTALL THE SOCIAL CLUB WHICH COMES WITH THE GAME or you may want to begin over.

Also some thing essential to be aware. DO NOT INSTALL the social club which ships with winetricks/playonlinux, they’ll installation C:Program Files (x86)Rockstar GamesSocial Club, and the brand new social club which I examined installs in C:Program FilesRockstar GamesSocial Club.

Also I might make sure if you do set up social membership in the wrong model through coincidence you just begin over with a clean set up steam/new wine, as the registry facts does no longer easy up when you try and un-set up social membership. See:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Rockstar Games Social Club
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Rockstar Games\Rockstar Games Social Club
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache\C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Social Club\subprocess.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Rockstar Games Social Club\DisplayName

The files below are left behind on your disk by Rockstar Games Social Club when you uninstall it:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Social Club\cef.pak
C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Social Club\cef_100_percent.pak
C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Social Club\cef_200_percent.pak
C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Social Club\d3dcompiler_43.dll

Patches

Patched the sport with xlive.Dll repair referred to here Copy and pasted all dll documents in GTA folder to system32 together with xlive.Dll and xlive.Lib from the xlib patch to patch the Xlive DLL to be able to keep away from the Games for Windows – Live.

Open Registry editor and trade HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D/CSMT = “enabled”

I additionally added commands in jogging “-noprecache -norestrictions -nomemrestrict”

If you comply with the perfect order of set up, and you are the use of the modern day version of social club with patched DX10 documents, you should haven’t any problem getting to the splash screen.
