Guest Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 As i run MTA client, an error message comes up and says: gta_sa.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Send error report etc, MTA worked before but i have no idea what has happened, ive tried changing the exe to the unsenored version and other version even a no cd thing (not that i like using that stuff). My san andreas works on single player and ive reinstalled sa and mta serval times and tried taking gta sa set files off, any suggestions for me to overcome this problem Thanks Link to comment
erorr404 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 You need v1.0 for MTA to run. Try patching your original .exe with this (if you haven't already): http://mtavc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15151 If you have any other mods installed, that is most likely the problem. MTA needs a clean installation of SA in order to run. Reinstall GTA:SA and make another install for mods if you wish. Link to comment
Guest Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 hmph, no it didnt work, any other suggestions ? Link to comment
Jani Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 What do you mean it didn't work? It's the only solution. Link to comment
Guest Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Well i havent touched a mod with Sa yet. Just after i used spycatcher and remove spyware apps,when trying running MTA the error message started popping up , i hope this helps Link to comment
Guest Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 err like i said, ive reinstalled it several times as well as SA Link to comment
NazcaC2 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) I receive the same problem. Then again, I've upgraded my system to an Intel Duo Core 2 6400, etc. and also did a fresh Windows install. This might help, I've attached the generated error log. See below threads for an error log output. PS - I recently got GTA:SA working (not MTA yet)- called R* and they told me to run GTA:SA in compatibility mode with NT4 (SP5) due to my LV DVD-RAM having some copy-protection issues with the game. Previously, both worked on my past system with different components. Edited November 6, 2006 by Guest Link to comment

NazcaC2 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I'd also like to add, I've only done an XP Repair from the previously new motherboard (Asus P5PE-VM; which I got recently too, because I had a new AGP videocard and didn't want to go to PCI-E yet and this mb also supported Conroe processors) which allowed me to continue where I left off without formatting and starting fresh again. Now, it shouldn't conflict with the previous chipset drivers; all of my current Asus P5N32-SLI Premium chipset drivers have been installed and the same problem occurs. I've recently talked to "Stephen|AFI" (thanks again, Stephen) about this problem and no solutions were found. Here's my dxdiag.txt for more info: http://avalanchemedia.ca/other/dxdiag.txt (I've got a temp ATI x300 installed until my new XFX 7950GT Xtreme Edition arrives; also, temp 1GB of DDR2 installed until I receive my new Corsair 2GB) Link to comment
NazcaC2 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Yes, yes.. sorry for the continuous flooding. Here's the error screenshot: http://avalanchemedia.ca/other/error-mta.gif Upon clicking the text button in the middle to view technical information about this error... Here's the error in bulk. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> Anyways, hopefully someone can help me in the future. I would reallllly like to get back to playing MTA again. Link to comment
StormaX Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Im afraid i cant help much , but i want to wish u good luck finding a solution for ur prob Link to comment
NazcaC2 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Yeah, that's ok. I hope the devs can help me find a solution sometime. Link to comment
NazcaC2 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Ok, here's what I'm going to do and here's what I found out. Since the same problem has continued onto when I got the new motherboard (after using the XP Repair), I'm going to backup my data on DVD's and probably do a reformat with a fresh Windows XP install tomorrow. Perhaps the previous chipset drivers clashed. Mind you, it was for an eighty dollar motherboard and one of a kind (AGP + Conroe compatible: Asus P5PE-VM). And, currently, I'm using the Asus P5N32-SLI Premium with WiFi. Also, to be honest, I just tried SA-MP and the same error occurred with that so it's not MTA, just to confirm. Link to comment
NazcaC2 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Ok, I formatted and did a fresh Windows XP install. Same problem. This is ridiculous. Sounds to me like a hardware issue with MTA and SA-MP; odd it is, but GTA:SA itself works fine. I don't understand. I also have all of the latest drivers and Windows Updates installed. Any help on this matter would be really appreciated. Thanks, NazcaC2 Link to comment
Ransom Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 double/triple posting isnt generally allowed without very good reason, use the edit button if you have to. Dont just keep posting when you have something else to say, if noone bothered replying yet. Link to comment
Harry Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 And please link to error reports and dont include them.. your thread is hardly readable anymore. Back ontopic: Vorbisfile.dll is crashing. As my searching skills tell me, this is caused by a "copyprotection"-patch. Are you using a no-cd patch? Link to comment
NazcaC2 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 (edited) Okay, sorry. I just separated my findings to make it more 'readable', but anyways... As I referred to on the first page, I have a new LG DVD-RAM with copy-protection. Upon attempting to run singleplayer without any changes, the game shows an hourglass for a quarter of a second, then disappears. Rockstar instructed me to run GTA:SA in compatibilty mode with NT4 (SP5) to bypass the copy-protection on the DVD-RAM. This enables GTA:SA (singleplayer) to function properly. However, whether compatibility mode is enabled or not, MTA:SA will not function. I keep getting that error. Edited November 8, 2006 by Guest Link to comment
Harry Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 SP is working normally? You have started it I assume? Link to comment
NazcaC2 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Yes, singleplayer is working properly. See updated post (above yours). PS - should I try it with my previous DVD-ROM to see if it makes a difference or do we know that it's the DVD-RAM with copy-protection for sure? PPS - I really don't see why MTA:SA doesn't work, because (while I own a legitimate bought version) if I use the no-cd crack or set singleplayer up with compatibility mode, SA singleplayer version works fine. However, MTA:SA still displays that error and must close. Also, like I said earlier, MTA:SA and SA-MP display this behavior. Possibly a new CPU feature which disallows this sort of thing? I don't think so, but who knows... Link to comment
