Jani Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Do you have a firewall or antivirus program which may be blocking it? Once you get to the black screen, try hitting alt+tab and see if there's any warnings from your security software such as asking you if you'd like to allow or block the game.
chrisstra Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 ok.. i started up mta get the small black thing mta .. and than intro.. than black screen. I hit alt+tab. but you can't minimize mta. but from what i could see there was no error from a firewall.. i've disabled all my firewalls.. at least the once i know. and which are on the right bottum of the screen in the start thing. so no error from firewall.. anyone more things..?
Jani Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Nope, I don't know. I don't see why so many people have trouble running the game. When I first started playing MTA (back in 0.3) I just went out and bought GTA Vice City, installed it, then installed MTA and I could play fine with no problems. Same happened for the next 2 versions. Then MTASA Race came out, I already had GTA San Andreas installed so I just installed MTASA and it worked fine again.
chrisstra Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 MM.. i also dont know why.. i did have mta vc.. and after some time i could get it to work.. but that also took a while because i had placed some stuff like car etc. in the game. but i didn't do anything with gta sa i believe..

Jani Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 GTASA folder: Ignore everything which contains "samp", "sa-mp" or "rcon", that's part of a different mod. MTASA folder:
chrisstra Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 oke thank you.. i will try to make it look like yours;)
Jani Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 That's fine, rcon.exe is part of another mod and backups is too.
chrisstra Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 which version of directX do i need..? because it still won't work
chrisstra Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 oke.. which version of directx do i need..?
chrisstra Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 i already have it.. i dont know how i have done everything i quess.. still doesnt work
erorr404 Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 You should have the latest version of DirectX (9.0c). Confirm to us that you have a clean install of San Andreas with no other mods installed, and try deleting gta_sa.set file and restarting the game (your settings will be reset).
chrisstra Posted July 17, 2006 Author Posted July 17, 2006 i will make soms screenshots of the screens and so on.. but i did install a no cd crack because i lost my cd of gta san andreas but is that the problem..? because i will have to find my cd when it doesn't work with a no cd crack
chrisstra Posted August 29, 2006 Author Posted August 29, 2006 i think its because i have got a to big screen.. mta doesn't run in a default resolution. mayby my screen doesn't support it..
