When I launch gta_sa.exe
the screen goes blank and comes back with the screen resolution messed up. The desktop is HUGE.
With the game also fully responsive I can only see the top right of the game.
Go to your wine configuration then click on graphics and click emulate virtual desktop then run the game and it should work.
Well fist you would have to tell wine that you want it to launch a program or game wine gamename
Or to install a program that wouldn't launch you have to use the saved file name for example:
wine C:\Program Files\progeamnme\gta_sa.exe
