I tried installing Directx9 and some libraries but i had no success, Here is the console lines, and below the crash report.

I'm using Elementary OSx64.

Hmm, not totally sure.  I don't see any serious errors, but obviously its not working. Are you able to play any other games in Linux or PlayOnLinux?

I tried Counter Strike, GTA 3,League of Legens, Portal, Osu, The first 3 didnt worked while the latter ones worked

Edited by Zaphyk

did you play Portal in Native Steam?  Or in PlayOnLinux?

Since Portal ran, that means you should have the correct drivers for your video card and 32-bit libraries.  That is a good start...

Try installing the package: dxfullsetup

Also, try going to Configure, Display Tab and disable GLSL

I made the changes you said and its happening the same, but i noticed that with the beta installation script the program is installed in a 64 bit drive it has any effect?

Beta script?  I didn't know PlayOnLinux had such a thing...

Yeah, I always use a 32-bit virtual drive for every game I test in PlayOnLinux.

You may want to do some testing by performing a manual installation.  Post your success/problems in the Manual Installation forum.  Then the developers can update the script.

Let me know if you need any help.  I don't have GTA San Andreas, but I do a lot of manual installations

Its still happening the same in the 32 bits drive :/

I'm guessing you did a manual installation as a test right?
You might want to try a newer version of Wine as well:  1.7.30

Are you installing GTA via Steam or DVD?

If its crashing right before the intro movies start try this:

• Launch PlayOnLinux
• Select Grand Theft Auto
• Click Configure
• Click Install Components
• Install:  quartz, devenum, ffdshow, corefonts

When you install ffdshow, select Mpeg1 & Mpeg2 in the list of formats

It didn't work, although I think i couldnt install the components correctly, for example i choose "ffdshow" and i choosed install a new windows will appear with a progress bar and a few seconds later it will close the same happened for the others.

Normally if you haven't installed these libraries, there will be a window showing downloading process for each package.  If you have installed them in the past, then a window will appear shortly and dissapear as you have described.

Try GTA SA again and see if anything changes.  If not, try navigating to the game folder and see if there is a folder called "videos".  If its there, try renaming it and hopefully the game will skip the intro videos and go right to the main menu.

There are some good tips here on WineHQs

Oops I missed this part as well:  install gstreamer for your Distro

I just caught this tip as well:

You have to hit "Enter" after you launch the game! I have no idea why. It looks like the game has crashed and messed up your screen resolution, but the game is actually still running. Hit "Enter", and the game pops up. This also occurs with both GTA3 and GTA3:VC. It's probably a intro movie that doesn't play.

It appears all the GTA games have this movie problem.  Looks like you can skip it by pressing Enter

The 800x600 screen problem can be solved by:

1. Launch PlayOnLinux
2. Select GTA
3. Click Configure
4. Click Wine Tab
5. Click Wine Configuration
6. Select Graphics Tab
7. Check "Enable virtual desktop"
8. Desktop size:  1024x768 (or the same as your Linux desktop)
9. Click OK

Try GTA again and it should run in the virtual desktop with better mouse and resolution support.

Looks like you need the 32-bit and 64 bit drivers for your graphics card, and possibly the 32 bit and 64 bit gstreamer and libmpeg libraries. That is just what I see at first glance. I would also run everything in a 32-bit virtual drive, but it looks like your graphics card drivers and gstreamer and libmpeg libs (32 and 64 bit) are missing or not available for some reason. This is why we also need your full computer specs. ;)

I tried it following booman instructions and it crashed, here is the log

It appears the AMD proprietary drivers need to be installed.

How do i install them?

Oh Geesh, I'm not sure.  I've never had an AMD video card before.

You will need to Google your video card and see if there is a step-by-step tutorial that includes 32-bit libraries for the driver.

You are missing some 32-bit libraries. It is super easy to get the libraries installed. Go to AMD's website, download the driver for your specific card, and run it as root/sudo. It will ask you if you want to install the 32-bit libs during install. Of course, say yes. 

Keep in mind that you will need certain packages (for debian/ubuntu systems, you can usually run sudo apt-get install build-essential multiarch-support && sudo apt-get build-dep fglrx) to build it. If it fails on first try, make sure you install the packages that I mentioned, and it should build everything just fine. 

There are also PPA's that will do this for you, but I do not recommend them for a production system. 

Don't forget to mention how to restore the original drivers if something goes wrong.

DELETE PLEASE.
