Guest Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I start up, the game runs... it shows the Rockstar Logo, Rockstar North, the game video and the camera fades to black. I noticed that the menu appears in something like 0,3 seconds and it's becomes black again. Can someone help me out? Link to comment
Sypher Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Same problem, after the logo's the game is black... And stays black. After deleting a dll file (The DX one) still nothing.

Capone Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Does your single player work? also try updating your graphic drivers and Direct X. Link to comment
Vicer/Spitfire Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yeah, I've got this problem too. Please find a solution =/ Link to comment
IyonUK Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yep, same here. I'm running it on my laptop, but single player SA works fine. Link to comment
Vicer/Spitfire Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Singleplayer works too, just to add. Link to comment
Guest Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 i have the same problem on my laptop Link to comment
eAi Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Can people with this issue state what graphics card they have, and please ensure you are using GTA 1.0. If you can obtain another exe version, try that too. Link to comment
Vicer/Spitfire Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Video Card: ATi Radeon 9200SE Edit: My problem got solved by updating drivers. So update your video card drivers! Link to comment
Guest Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) i have an ATI mobility radeon 9000 IGP and singleplayer works fine Edited January 23, 2006 by Guest Link to comment
Sypher Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 ATi Radeon 9800 PRO and ATi Mobility Radeon 9700.. Singleplayer works, gtaT works... but MTA is black Link to comment
IyonUK Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP and I'm on the latest drivers... Thanks for at least looking into these issues as we all know how well supported are laptop graphics cards! EDIT: All the other logos are affected too. As in the first post it shows the Rockstar logos/video but the static logos (Creative, nVidia, GTA San Andreas) are all black and the screen takes a slightly different shade of black when the menu, I presume, should appear.

Capone Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Video Card: ATi Radeon 9200SEEdit: My problem got solved by updating drivers. So update your video card drivers! lol all ATI (thought so) Try updating your graphics cards drivers like spitfire did hopefully that should solve your problem. Link to comment
IyonUK Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 After much debating I took the plunge and installed these: - http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati.php Now I can see the menu, about to go ingame so fingers crossed! EDIT: Works! Link to comment
Guest Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 i have no idea wat omege drivers are but it works perfect for me! Link to comment
IyonUK Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 i have no idea wat omege drivers are but it works perfect for me! ABOUT THE OMEGA DRIVERS AND THIS SITE: The purpose of the Omega Drivers is to provide gamers with an alternate set of drivers, ones that have more options and features than the original sets. The drivers contain optimizations, extra features (like OC capabilities), more resolutions and internal tweaks that can give them the edge in a gaming environment over the normal drivers, which are often tailored for synthetic benchmarks. All Omega driver sets are tested (unless noted) by myself in my own PC or in an alternate PC (in the case of the Nvidia drivers) to ensure maximum compatibility and reliability. I do this hobby in my spare time, since I have a personal life and a day work, so don't expect me to be up-to-date with everybody or everything, that means, don't send me E-Mail with questions like"When is the next set going to be released?" or "Are your drivers faster than "insert company here" drivers?", cause they will NOT be answered. When new official drivers are released by a company, expect an Omega release based on them, but don't expect a release date to be given, they will be ready when they are ready... Important note: I'm not God, so don't be calling me like that or pretend that I'm one, I only serve Jesus and His will, that's why I do this service in my spare time, I want to leave a mark in the world and let Him know that I did something good and noble for the world... make people happy Thanks and God bless you all, Angel "Omegadrive" Trinidad I really only wanted to stick to approved drivers for my laptop and the latest ATI ones claim that my laptop brand and graphics card is unsupported. These, however, claims to support the Mobility 9000 so, like I said, I decided to try these. I'd recommend anyone with the same problem give these a go but keep the old drivers or use the backout facility to restore if these cause problems. Maybe the official ATI ones work too, but these certainly do the job! Link to comment
Guest Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 My Mobile Radion 9000 works well on my Single Player, why it would be different? it's all about a multiplayer game, ffs. It doesn't changes the game configuration, does it? Link to comment
Guest Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 WinXP Mobility Radeon 9000 Same as all the other ppl. I used the stock drivers that came with my laptop. Black. Used Omega 2.5.44 (Catalyst 4.5). Black. Used Omega 2.5.97a (Catalyst 4.12). Black. Used the latest Omegas (Catalyst 6.1). Black. GART drivers are installed, dxdiag checks out fine, GTASA works fine in SP.

Any help is appreciated. EDIT: And here's something interesting. I clicked around and managed to launch the game. I could see the load bar, but the background was solid blue-ish. Ingame.... Look below. The black squares are moving around all the time, smoke? Oh, and I can move around the whole map, go through objects (bridges, walls, houses), and there's no cars, nor people. EDIT#2: This is possibly the map editor? Link to comment
Guest Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 my logfile is identical the said one above, but mine is still faded in black. can you guys explain me waht that normal colour stuff is? Link to comment
Guest Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I fixed it. I got the Catalyst 6.1 drivers (most recent ones) from the ATI website, got Mobility Modder (google it) and modded them so it works with my GPU, installed the drivers via Device Manager (or I got a prompt after I uninstalled my old ones), installed Catalyst Control Center and set everything to Performance. Been playing for an hour or so, quite nice Link to comment
Kent747 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I was able to recreate this with my laptop, the problem seems to be centered only around ATI IGP graphics chips... the omega driver may be a solution for some, unless ATI can come out with a fix. sorry guys. Kent Link to comment
Guest Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 hell, I give up... I won't install anything, this laptop ain't mine so I can't take the risk... I can just ask for the MTA Team to try to fix it up in the next versions... Thank you guys... Link to comment
