phildaman46: >That worked. Sigh. You cannot do anything about the missing references, but you could at least quote, about what you are speaking. Consider please, that your article may not be read in the forum but in the mailing list. After investigating the thread you have probably changed to /media/Games/Program files/Rockstar Games/GTA San Andreas/ and run 'wine gta_sa.exe' there. >Heres what I get up to the point of saving: [...] Nothing to be seen about the problem not to be able to save your game. But i am wondering. Each time when i start one of my own games i call a script, which changes my working directory to the one beneath ~./wine, in which the corresponding game.exe resides and run 'wine game.exe' there. Guessing your paths i would do cd '~/.wine/drive_c/Program files/Rockstar Games/GTA San Andreas/' wine gta_sa.exe 2>&1 | tee ~/gta-log.txt Hartmut
