So Ive managed to install GTA:SA followed by SA:MP.

It works pretty good, have 1 or 2 minor bugs but I honestly dont care about that (fonts, even after winetricks corefonts).

So the main problem here is my graphics card: NVIDIA GT 520M, a bit outdated, yea, like my whole setup.
I cannot run the usual graphics drivers because it will mess up with my display manager so I had to opt in for Bumblebee, using Nvidia Optimus technology.

The problem is, whenever I launch SAMP over Nvidia (say $ optirun wine samp.exe) The SAMP.exe will run on optirun, but when I connect to any server the child process (gta_sa.exe) will start in a whole separated process and as a consequence It will run over Intel integrated graphics (bad performance, 30fps sometimes)

Ive tried almost anything I can remember of, from using Wine as an emulated virtual desktop to trying to inject samp.dll manually.

Because if I run the game directly (say $ optirun wine gta_sa.exe) it works fine, but it is single player mode.



Any way to launch gta_sa.exe through samp.exe with Optirun ?


Thanks in advance.


Specs:

Debian 9
NVIDIA Geforce GT 520M
wine-1.8.7 (Debian 1.8.7-2)
optirun (Bumblebee) 3.2.1

Doing a $ ps ax will return the following processes info:

(as you can see, gta_sa.exe is not running with nvidia optirun...)

optirun wine samp.exe IP:Port(required) password(optional)

or try this if you must run gta_sa.exe: http://forum.sa-mp.com/showpost.php?...4&postcount=13

i've ran the game best on manjaro with wine 3.x but what i'm trying to say is that even if you can start the game with wine 1.8.7 i promise you won't want to play with that version, nor 2.x after you tried 3.x

it's best to run the game on windows 7, as the performance with an 280x [7970] amd card was 25% of what it's capable [nvidia is far worse], and it wasn't reliable.
