Bug ID: 46474 Summary: GTA V crashing when loading the online mode Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: jopiku@googlemail.com Distribution: ---
Until a few days ago, the GTA V online mode could be started directly with Steam Play for Linux/Proton without any problems. Latest Proton 3.16-6. This worked until January 11th. Since January 12th no one can start GTA V in online mode anymore: -> https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2211 -> https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/37#issuecomment-453743326
The Singleplayer works perfectly.
I have the same problems. If you start the game directly in online mode, it loads for a while and crashes. A page appears in the Social Club client that indicates an exception error.
There is a workaround that someone posted at Github, with which you can start the game. By a STRACE on the GTAV.exe the abort is prevented when loading the game and the online mode starts correctly: -> https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/37#issuecomment-454812160
That´s the workaround:
1. In gnome terminal run: until ps -C GTA5.exe >/dev/null; do sleep 1; echo "Waiting for GTA5.exe process..."; done; strace -p $(ps -C GTA5.exe -o pid=)
2. start GTA5 via Steam (could be directly to Online mode)
I work with Linux Mint 19.1, Kernel 4.19.9, AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, AMD rx580 8GB, 16GB DDR4, Mesa 19.0 (Padoka PPA). But all other players with different configurations have the same problem (see Github).
