--- Comment #9 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
dupe of bug 23532
That error is expected because you didn't bother to disable/replace GFW (xlive).
This is common knowledge and also referenced _multiples_ times in appdb/buzgilla/search engines.
Game appdb entry: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=25033
Your backtrace:
--- snip --- PE 1c60000- 2b11000 Deferred xlive --- snip ---
0x2b11000-0x1c60000 = 0xEB1000 = 15405056 bytes = native xlive.dll from 'gfwlivesetup.exe' redist installer and definitely not xlive from XLiveLess patch.
I installed GTA IV Steam without applying xliveless and got exactly the same backtrace/crash on startup - but only after dismissing a big message box, stating "GTA IV FATAL ERROR: XNetStartup failed - Please re-boot your system and/or re-install the game\r\n10093".
What do you expect if you choose to ignore that error?
Regards
