GTA San Andreas

[andersnees]

Hi
I've just installed San Andreas. The game starts fine, but when the graffiti are done the game is frezing, and I have to shutdown the computer

Anyone who know how to fix that?

What I have tried:
Run in compatibility mode for both XP and Vista
Disable visual themes
Disable desktop composition
Run as admin

 

[daniel101]

well it obviously ain't gonna work in XP compatibility mode,
try lowering all graphics to its lowest, with should cause less lag, with should stop game from freezing, sorry, only thing i can come up with

Hi andersnees welcome to the forums.

Firstly I hope we manage to get the issue resolved for you as GTA-SA is 1 of the best games i've ever played

Secondly if you've got capable hardware then you could try downloading the latest patches/updates that may be available (if you haven't already).

Just a thought

I've updated the driver for my graphicscard manual, but it is still not working.

It is not when I play it freez, but when I start it up. Right after the nVidia logo has been there the screen gets black. But there are still sound in 10 seconds or something.

GTA San Andreas - 000 - The Introduction (Special Edition) - Google Video - Recherche vidéo sur Truveo I can hear the first 10 seconds of this, but the screen is black. After the 10 seconds the game freez.

Other things I could try?

You could try here - GTA San Andreas PC Downloads (Demo Patch Maps Levels Trailers Movies) Index Page - GamersHell.com - and download the latest patch.

Hope it helps

Goddamn f*ck. This game doesn't work on my RC 7100. More info about this problem here:
GTAForums.com -> Can't launch on Windows 7

Edit: oh great. I tryed to downgrade it and I've discovered that my game version is 'unknown'.

 

[Shak 10]

Didn't work on build 7000 but worked on the RC for me.

Please help

The sounds in San Andreas doesn't work. Only some sounds work but not anything CJ does or when he drives a car you can't hear the engine or anything like that. When starting a mission, I don't hear what they are saying only the subs.. please help me i can't figure out whats the prob. And I have downloaded the latest patch but the patch can't be installed..

I just installed my GTA SA on ultimate 64 bit no problems, plays fine and everything, no crashes or video glitches so far.

I will try vice city next, i wonder if the back to the future mod will still work with that, always loved the ability to fly the car and escape wanted stars with time travel if needed haha.

I have a windows 7 running on a virtual machine and I updated my video driver and it worked for me.

I have a problem. I run Windows 7 Ultimate and can only play GTA SA in compatibility mode for windows 98 ( any other compatibility mode doesn't allow me to use the mouse during game play ). Ok, so far so good, game work's fine. But I downloaded a 100% complete savegame, and it doesn't appear in the game menu under win98 compatibility. If I try another compat. mode the savegame appear, but mouse and some game sounds don't work. If anyone has a solution for this, please reply.

@Blastberga: Download the 1.1 patch. This patch issues the sound problem, among others.

@Cristianob: That's one odd problem. I have GTA San Andreas in my Windows 7 Ultimate, and it works like a charm (with mods). Try the 1.1 patch and be sure the drivers for your mouse up-to-date and functioning well (if you're using an Intel mobo/GPU, the INF should be functioning properly). Better yet, try asking in GTAForums.
