Here's your problem: "im using Wine Crossover - 23.7.1-1" read that wiki page completely, you can't run GTA with wine-crossover

what should i be using then?

rising-crimson•7mo ago

again, it's there in the wiki, the only thing that works on mac is the paid version of crossover

rare-sapphireOP•7mo ago

IMPORTANT: Logs are disabled. Enable verbose logs before reporting an issue. you have to enable logs in the settings to show more information

rare-sapphireOP•7mo ago

rising-crimson•7mo ago

the fix.bat is needed

rare-sapphireOP•7mo ago

where can i enable logs in settings which tab

rising-crimson•7mo ago

I think it's in the game's settings > advanced

quickest-silver•7mo ago

yeah

rare-sapphireOP•7mo ago

oh i was looking at the heroic settings mb here https://0x0.st/8MBy.log 'EpicGamesLauncher.exe' does not exist wait the filename has spaces it was named Epic Games Launcher.exe

rising-crimson•7mo ago

that's odd, make sure you are using the correct file cause it doesn't have spaces here https://github.com/Etaash-mathamsetty/heroic-epic-integration/releases

yeah i got it from there but the filename was wrong

rising-crimson•7mo ago

not sure how that happened, the file has no spaces there :S

rare-sapphireOP•7mo ago

mac tends to rename the file after downloading it does that with most of my files the game is running but its in a small window

quickest-silver•7mo ago

fn+F or cmd+F should fullscreen it

rare-sapphireOP•7mo ago
