I don't care about RGSC, I just want to run GTA4 and it does not work which must be a bug in Wine at some place. And I want to help fixing this bug.
Fair enough, but unless you know how to code, you won't be the one fixing the bug, and until someone that does have the ability to fix it comes along, it's superfluous.
I know how to code. :)
Though I know very less about the Wine internals at the moment. I planned already multiple times to get involved a bit in the Wine development but actually never came to it.
Now again could be the time as I would really like to be able to play this game. But I really need some hints where I could start.
For example: How can I figure out how GTA4 checks if RGSC is running and how can I make it think that RGSC is running? (If I would be able to do this, I would not need to run RGSC in the background; something I don't want to do anyway.) I wonder how the others here have solved this problem as they don't seem to have it.
Then after I have overcome this problem, it seems (other reported that here) that GTA4 fails because of some unimplemented D3D functions. Where can I get some documentation what these unimplemented function should do?
