           Summary: GTA / Grand Theft Auto IV (1.0.8.0) load failure,
                    black screen, cannot exit (can only kill process in

GTA / Grand Theft Auto IV (1.0.8.0) doesn't get past the initial R* splash
screen to the game menu. There's only a black screen that cannot be exited
unless switching to a virtual console and killing all wine processes.

This happens both in wine 3.0.4 and 4.0.

All libraries are internal, except for MS VC++ 2005 redistributable.
No wine prefix options nor 'export' flags.

--- Comment #1 from Dennis Mayr  ---
Another tip: this happens too with GTA IV version 1.0.7.0 and 1.0.8.0 whilst
using the 'nouveau' driver on NVidia video graphics.

GTA IV 1.0.7.0 on proprietary NVidia drivers runs fine on wine 3.0.4, but
crashes on wine 4.0.
