I have many games on my PC including GTA 3, NFS MW, San Andreas, Vice City, but the wine program loader doesn't seem to work on them. The game is magnified so much that I can see only the top right corner of it (which covers the whole screen) and after I close the wine program loader, I have to log out of my admin user to resume my work.

What's the problem and how can I fix it?

The only working methods for gaming with Linux is Steam or with native games (like Baldur's gate and Neverwinter Nights). Gaming with wine will be not as good as gaming it natively on Windows. Your hardware is never going to fully used when using wine.

All those games you mention will have each their own quirks and their own installation method. The play on linux package that accompanies wine gets you a long way; that system works with community created script files.

For each of the mentioned games the link will open the POL script:


  • San Andreas should be even easier. It has an entry in Play On Linux.

Good luck with this but if you want to do gaming with all hardware at your disposal either use a dual boot or a virtual installation. Or a console.
