JohnDoe91286 Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 about a year ago now i had GTA V2.00 installed on my Windows Vista Home Premium PC. Then i turned it to GTA: SA V1.0 so i could play MTA. after a month MTA stopped working. When i uninstalled it it also got rid of GTA: SA. Now whenever i try to play GTA: SA after installing it again it dosnt work. When i asked Take-Two Interactive Technical Support they said MTA could have corrupted my Game Files. is there any solution to this. if so please post it. Thanks C.Dawson
Gamesnert Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 When i asked Take-Two Interactive Technical Support they said MTA could have corrupted my Game Files. There isn't much I know about MTA, but I DO know that it doesn't mess up files... It occurs even if you try and install it and don't install MTA?
Dark Dragon Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 how could mta corrupt the files on your installation dvd? when exactly does gta crash/freeze/whatever? any messages?
Gamesnert Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 how could mta corrupt the files on your installation dvd? when exactly does gta crash/freeze/whatever? any messages? It can't, but he was actually talking about gamefiles, not the DVD. But ehm... Your DVD might have damages? How could uninstalling MTA also uninstall GTA SA? Maybe you have to run GTA SA in compatibility mode like I read somewhere? (that doesn't solve it for MTA, which can't run in windows 98 compatibility mode...)
Dark Dragon Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 yeah, but if mta was the reason even after reinstalling it would mean mta has also damaged the installation files, or why should it stay broken?
robhol Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 yeah, but if mta was the reason even after reinstalling it would mean mta has also damaged the installation files, or why should it stay broken? Yeah, big nasty MTA crept into the DVD and corrupted the files. Probably a read error from the DVD, ever tried to listen to music on a scratched CD? Get a new (mind you, no illegal downloads or anything like that ) copy and it'll probably work.
