Hi guys, been trying to get MTA:SA:DM to work and not having much luck.
Have installed latest version of SA:DM last night, have a V1.00 version of gta_sa.exe and I'm running Vista ultimate SP1.
When loading Multi Theft Auto.exe I get the "stop playing with yourself splash screen" which disappears and then nothing. Checked task manager and no gta_sa.exe process is running.
I have tried adding Multi Theft Auto.exe to Data Execution Prevention exemption list, running as administrator, running in compatibility mode (XP SP2, 95/98, NT4), modifying permissions to allow full access of files contained within "C:\Program Files\MTA San Andreas" and "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\MTA" but to no avail.
Found the core.log file in "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\MTA" while looking for a clue to the problem, seems the error is with multiplayer_sa.dll as the log shows:
Unfortunately I can't really make much sense of that but was perhaps hoping if a dev sees this maybe it'll make some sense. I'm guessing this is a Vista specific problem but as far as I know I've gone to every length to get it working, normally a combination of what I've tried will get incompatible software working but it seems not in this case.
Any information much appreciated, sorry if you're all tired of these threads.
Thanks.
