--- Comment #4 from Lynx lynx.light0@gmail.com --- Update (& sorry for the lack of xliveless info):
I have found that the game works using patch 1.0.4.0, but not with the latest patch 1.0.7.0.
Next problem: sound crackles, e.g. when changing menu items, or in game during high CPU usage, which I only get with this game in wine and not in GTA SA or in VLC etc. Not sure if this is a wine issue or an ALSA issue. I see mentions of underrun in pulseaudio -vvvv.
