--- Comment #71 from Ruslan b7.10110111@gmail.com 2009-07-06 03:17:37 --- I did as in comment #23, i.e. installed vcrun2005sp1 msxml3 wmp9 gecko via winetricks, but my error is different:
GTA IV FATAL ERROR: DD3D50 GTA IV FATAL ERROR: D3D Error - Shader Model 3.0 or higher is required
After i press OK i get long list of 0xcdcdcdcd on the console.
How can i get to that TEXP70 step? Or, maybe it is already after this?

When a game complains about shader model 3 not being present it's almost certainly either a) wine too old, b) your hardware cannot run the game (even in native Windows!) or c) something's wrong with your videocard drivers. Such support is beyond the scope of bugzilla.

a) wine too old, b) your hardware cannot run the game (even in
native Windows!) or c) something's wrong with your videocard drivers
a) $ wine --version wine-1.1.25
b) this game runs perfectly on this hardware in windows (GeForce 8800GT, 2GiB of RAM, Pentium 4 3200GHz)
c) well... maybe it's because i compiled wine before nvidia driver installation - so with MESA include/GL. Now recompiling with nvidia's includes. __________
For people who try to use xliveless to disable RGSC but fail to do this: check that your GTAIV.exe is version 1.0.1.0 at least, if it's older, then xliveless won't patch the game. Patch to update GTAIV can be found on the rockstar website http://www.rockstargames.com/support/IV/PC/patch/index.html

--- Comment #77 from W3ird_N3rd mailme667@yahoo.co.uk 2009-07-22 11:02:19 --- It's probably just coincidence, but translating TEXP70 to normal English would make me think of TEXture, P, 70.
Which reminds me of bug #16559. In that thread, there is a patch for a bug that's about not being able to translate Pixelformat 70.
So I would see the connection - TEXP70, TEXturePixelformat70.
But again maybe it's just coincidence.
--- Comment #78 from W3ird_N3rd mailme667@yahoo.co.uk 2009-07-25 12:21:58 --- I took another look at those forums, and these quotes makes me feel I might be right:
"Before patch i've got no textures at all in my game. After patch i'm getting TEXP70 Error..."
"First - GTA IV runs WITHOUT ANY TEXTURES! After patching - TEXP70!!!"
"First to install the patch, i don't view textures on GTA4, now installed the patch, and the game... NOT START ANYMORE !!! TEXTP70"
"I 've got the same problem, at first it ran but without most of the textures, now i get the TEXP70 error after installing the patch and no game at all"
The funny thing is, before applying the patch from Andrew Church, I was missing many textures in Trickstyle. Sounds very similar. So his patch just might also get TEXP70 out of the way.
You might be wondering why I'm not testing it myself, but I do not own a copy of GTA IV, so I can't. I plan on waiting for it to run on wine before I buy. ;-)
