Crash on menu

[Guest]

Hi

My game crashes on the screen with CJ, Tommy and Claude. I can see them for a few seconds, then the game stops. I have to use task manager to stop MTA.

I use Vista Home premium 64 bit SP2. None of the things in this topic seem to work for me. (Well, i don't get the explenation of the coreconfig.xml file, what the fuck do i have to do?! I made a new file named coreconfig.xml, put in "menu_options 248" but it doesn't work)

So... Do i have to install XP or what?

Here's a link to a standard coreconfig.xml file:

http://files.multitheftauto.com/apps/1. ... config.xml

Place the file in the folder where it's supposed to be. Then replace...

<menu_options>0</menu_options> 

...with...

<menu_options>248</menu_options>

Kay, i'll try it

And can someone explain why the game crashes with the thing? My older PC didn't have this issue.

Some PC's just seem to have problems with how the main menu is rendered. They removed the special rendering in 1.0, as it looked a little better, but delivered too much trouble for the profit.

I guess this has something to do with Vista though, as that's simply 101% failure.

I can't find where to put this ....

* MTA shows a permanent black screen after the GTA splash screens (possibly with text in the bottom right corner).

This can be related to a lack of support for DirectX or video card features, on your system, which are needed to run the dynamically rendered menu. This dynamic menu is enabled by default. You can disable it by opening your coreconfig.xml configuration file located in the GTA San Andreas\MTA directory, and changing the value of menu_options to 248.

I marked the important spots for you.

thank you, I think I tried it but it didn't work, for one not being able to save it to the same spot
