[SOLVED] MTA freezing

[M4tr1x]

Hello, I am new to these forums, allthough I've been playing MTA for over a year and GTA:SA in general for several years.

Anyway, I have an issue, every time I go to join a server in MTA, it freezes (screenshot below). I have reinstalled MTA several times, restarted my PC of course, but it makes no difference. I can't use system restore because due to my stupidity I didn't set up system restore in the first place.

Here is where it freezes:

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Does GTA:SA work fine in single-player? Try installing the following:

• Install the latest patch of MTA:SA
  
• Install the latest DirectX runtimes

It works fine in single-player, I have the latest version of MTA and DirectX already. Hmm.. this is puzzling.

Does it only freeze on one server or it freezes on all the servers?

Sometimes the server has lots of resources and it makes people wait longer to join the game.

Nope, it happens on all servers.

So you got

-the latest DirectX

-the latest patch of MTA:SA

Whats your graphic Driver?

Ok I got it working. I used my other GTA:SA that's on my external HDD, and it worked fine. Must've been something wrong with my GTA installation. Thank you all who helped!
