Guest Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Okay, this is starting to get really annoying. I can run MTA fine, but when I try to type in-game, it crashes my computer (Makes the screen freeze and none of the buttons work and I'm forced to restart by cutting the power to my computer) Alt+tab does nothing, ctrl+alt+delete does nothing, no buttons work. Ive tried reinstalling MTA, switching to version 1.1, and reinstalling vice city. Nothing works. I dunno whats causing this to happen. Can anyone help? Link to comment
MTA Team jhxp Posted October 30, 2005 MTA Team Share Posted October 30, 2005 Do you have any background apps running while playing? Link to comment

Guest Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Topic bump* This is why I despise forums, someone else posts a topic and yours gets cast into shadow and no on replies after that. Why cant you just let us ask on IRC, god, its so much easier and you get a way faster reply Link to comment
MTA Team jhxp Posted November 1, 2005 MTA Team Share Posted November 1, 2005 no idea tbh I still think it has somto do Try updating video drivers (and any drivers that can be updated), any possible Windows fixes... If that won't fix the problem, try checking if it will run without ANY background app. Oh.. and one note, MTA0.5 doesn't work properly (crashes/other issues) with xfire on Link to comment
Guest Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I did try to turn xfire off but to no avail. I have all of the windows updates and ATI Catalyst 5.9 so All of the drivers are up to date... Link to comment

Si|ent Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Make sure you fully remove all earlier versions of mta before installing the latest, this includes deleting any directories left behind, and files you may have set to read only. The only time I've come across the problem you describe was during dev testing when older .dll's were accidentally left in place. Also make sure you have nothing else running that creates a DirectX overlay (Displaying characters or graphics over the top of the games normal visuals). Screen-grabbing software or communications applications for example. Link to comment
