crash after Vice City loads...

[Guest]

i start up MTA 0.5 just fine, and connecting to a server is no problem. i can also chat to people in the server as normal.

i then press "Start Game" and vice city shows the loading screen. then i press "Start" and "Multi Theft Auto".

the pink laoding bar fills right to the top as it loads, then the game closes down and the MTA Error Reporter shows up.

any suggestions? i have tried all the FAQ solutions, i have reinstalled both MTA and GTA:VC and i have reset game paths and everything i could think of.

desperately seeking help here! MTA has been fien up untill 2 days ago when this problem occured!!

thanks

When installing the modification, untick the box which installs the error reporter, have you already tried this?

Make sure before you have installed the modification that you have played single player first, only for a few short seconds. Sometimes certain errors occur when this process hasnt been done.

Hope these can be some help at least, most errors have different solutions but some can also prevent new problems from occuring once again.

do you have any mods installed? and do you have a legal copy of VC?

Get 1.1 patch for VC.
