tech support wanted Cannot get GTA IV to run with mods
Hello everyone. It is not my first time modding a game, at least it wouldn't be on Windows and it worked great on Windows 11, the game even started up, but I can't get it to run on Linux Mint with mods.
I have installed following mods:
- Tace.lite
- FusionFix (that comes with Tace.lite)
- the Radio mod that you need for Tace.lite
- Liberty Legacy Trainer
I already added all the .dll files in the pfx for 12210 (which is GTA IV), I tried running the command ( WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8" %command% ) on Steam in properties and I am using the version of Proton GE 11.7.
Keep in mind: The game worked great with only Liberty Legacy Trainer, the radio mod that you need for Tace.lite and FusionFix. I installed FusionFix before I installed Tace.lite.
My problem is that the game starts up and I can choose which game I want to play (GTA IV or GTA EFLC) and then I click on a game, for example GTA IV, the game goes to the loading screen and the furthest I have come until now is it wanting to start a new game and showing that in the bottom right corner, but not loading it, instead it crashed.
On Windows I was able to install the GTA IV mods without a single problem and they started the game and I was able to play it.
I really hope somebody can help me with the problem of it not starting, because I can't seem to find it out myself and I would really like to play the game again.
