Hello, first of all: I used Google and the internal search of the forum. And no, I did not find a solution except using Wine 1.2.2 instead. When starting GTA: San Andreas (no mods) it shows the intro (The NVidia Logo, The EAX Logo, The Rockstar Logo, The Rockstar North Logo, The Intro movie) and then crashes and "encounters a serious Problem". None of the solutions on the net helped yet. Thank you in advance for your help. I really want to use Wine 1.3.11, because a lot of other games are working better with it, but I don't want to give up GTA:SA.

How can I do that? I know it was also broken with 1.3.6.

OK, thanks. I found a solution (or a workaround) now. When I let the movies at the beginning (The Rockstar logo) play, it is starting and working perfectly. I applied the no intro patch (by renaming these videos) and now it works. Thanks for your help.
