--- Comment #1 from Béla Gyebrószki gyebro69@gmail.com --- Still present in Wine-Staging 5.8.
If you have the retail/DVD 1.0 version of the game you only need SilentPatch: http://silent.rockstarvision.com/uploads/SilentPatchSA.zip ASI Loader: http://silent.rockstarvision.com/uploads/silents_asi_loader_13.zip
The contents of both zips should be extracted in the game directory where gta_sa.exe resides. If SilentPatch is installed then the game crashes after start in Staging.
If you have the Steam version one more step/download is needed. The Steam version has to be downgraded to v1.0. I used the link to the downgrader from this forum post: https://gtaforums.com/topic/927016-san-andreas-downgrader/?do=findComment&am...
GTASA_12-9-14_Steam_to_V1_DG.exe (1.2 GB) md5sum: 9a1db2455e987b7446d544aedb357b5c
After downgrading, the ASI Loader and SilentPatch should be placed in the game directory just like with the retail version.
