Issues

Crashes back to the desktop after playing the intro movie. Changing the settings in the manager don't help.
In Wine, the game usually runs extremely slow. However, when run with a glide->OpenGL wrapper in effect, the game is playable. To use: (taken from the appdb page)
- Download a Windows binary of Openglide.
  - (The version tested is 0.09a3, but there are newer versions out.)
- Place the dll file in the main GTA2 directory.
- Add the following to your system.reg, then run gta2.exe:
