[MAC] Samp with "Crossover games" - go in single player mode. But debug mode works in multi.
#1

Hi everybody!
I'm Giuseppe and I'm writing from Italy

When I had a pc, I played with SAMP without problem....
But there was many year ago.
Now I buyed a Mac because it is useful for the university.
I watched several videos on ******* where SAMP works without problem on OSX.
In these videos, the users used some virtual machine like Parallels or Vmware.
But I think that isn't the best solution for the graphic speed in game.

My Gta San Andreas is the 1.00 version.

I searched on the web and I founded for the first time the software WINE....
This application is compatible with simple windows software, but when I install gta san andreas, the game doesn't start because WINE doesn't find my audio card.

I founded another software: CROSSOVER GAMES.
I installed Gta, and gta_sa.exe works very very well in single player!!! The graphic is fast!
Then, I installed SAMP, in the same "bottle". . . The words bottle, is used by crossover games to refer to a specific directory.

So, i installed samp in the same bottle of san andreas, at the end of installation i verified if the samp files where in the directory of SA, and it where there
If I launch samp.exe i can choose a server, but when it open the game, it starts in single player. ALWAYS.
I tried the method to select an option and then press ESC but I don't solve the problem.

I tried to solve the problem searching on ****** and i read different thread on different forum.
Several users says that they can play online with this method, but I'm unable to solve the problem!

If i launch the debug mode, I can see the logo of SAMP but then I don't know how to select a server.

I know that there is the BOOTCAMP solution. but I want to use this solution at the end. In italian we say "Come ultima spiaggia" - "Like the last beach" . . . It means that if i will not solve the problem, I will use bootcamp.
Crossover games is an excellent software, the games are very fast with this. It's a pity that I can't solve the problem of online.

Anyone can help me?
Sorry for my bad english

Crossover is simply a front-end to WINE. The sound-card issue will more than likely be a config issue with WINE itself.


SA-MP not running the game in multiplayer simply seems like either a runtime isn't installed, or a config/permission issue is giving trouble.

Try this for some reading, it's outdated but has valuable info. https://sampforum.blast.hk/showthread.php?tid=385677
