MTA 1.3.1 wont even get past the splash screen [RESOLVED]

[ayjayn]

hey,

ive looked through the recent forums for answers to this and i have tried most solutions that people suggest

basically the splash screen appears, then that turns white, about 10 seconds later the screen goes black, followed by what looks like the application struggling to stay open ( it flashes between the black screen and the desktop)

ive used the diagnostic tool and here are the results

http://pastebin.com/5nyKxvMU

just to point out, it was working perfectly fine the other day, no new updates or anything related to Gta being changed

thanks in advance

im going to install an ASI loader so i can change the resolution to a native 16:9 of 1366x768x32

[ccw]

Please try this patch for 1.3.1:

https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/mtasa-1.3.1-rc ... 130205.exe

[ayjayn]

same old same old except for this

it asked me to reset my MTA settings, i did, but no avail

[ccw]

Ok, please try this:

1. If you have a tray icon for Intel Graphics Driver, right click and close it.

2. Open Task Manager, select the 'Processes' tab and end all processes that start with igfx, e.g. igfxpers.exe

3. Right click on 'Computer' desktop icon and select 'Manage'

4. Select 'Device Manager' in the left column, then open the 'Display Adapters' category in the middle pane.

5. Now, there should be two entries there, one for NVidia and one for Intel. Right click on the Intel one and select 'Disable'

And then try this 1.3.1 patch:

https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/mtasa-1.3.1-rc ... 130205.exe

If that doesn't work, try this 1.3.1 patch:

https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/mtasa-1.3.1-un ... et41CE.exe

And if that doesn't work, try this 1.4 patch:

https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/mtasa-1.4-unst ... et41D4.exe

[ayjayn]

just to point out that when i disabled yhe Intel one my screen went blank

turned off the computer and turned it back on

now it cant go above 1024x768

[ayjayn]

first patch didn't even get the splash screen it merely went white ( like normal) then it ended

second patch same issue

[ayjayn]

oh and the third patch was the same issue

[ccw]

That's interesting. Intel video is being used for the desktop, but games use Nvidia. Do you know how this is done? Is it an option in the NVidia control panel somewhere?

[ayjayn]

nvidia control panel i believe

or some built in thing designed to split the workload

[ayjayn]

great cant even access the control panel this appears....

[ccw]

That's the same problem MTA is having.

[ccw]

Can I see the log file from the 1.4 patch?

Thanks.

btw, make sure Intel Video is enabled again in the Device Manager

[ayjayn]

any luck ?

[ccw]

I'm thinking NVidia have some hooks to switch video, and that is conflicting with MTA's hooks into GTA.

Can you confirm GTA single player is still working?

[ayjayn]

GTA SA 3.0 no longer works due to the fact i have changed the aspect ratio via asi loader ( i expected this)

GTA SA 1.0 works fine

[ccw]

Did you have to re-enable the Intel Video?

Also, please run 1.4 again, and then run MTADiag (cancel any offered update) and give the log link

[ayjayn]

i did re-enable the intel video

how do i cancel updates ?

[ayjayn]

error code for MTA 1.4

[ayjayn]

non-updated MTA 1.4.blah blah blah

That's interesting. Intel video is being used for the desktop, but games use Nvidia. Do you know how this is done? Is it an option in the NVidia control panel somewhere?

I'm not sure if this is really what you're talking about, but NVIDIA does have a technology called Optimus which changes between cards in heavier and lighter apps, so does AMD. You can also select which softwares to run with which card in the control panel - thought you knew that, and probably this has totally nothing to do with what you're talking about..

[ayjayn]

i was looking earlier for a way to run purely off the nvidia and it was mentioned elsewhere about optimus

[ccw]

That could be a BIOS option on startup. Something like this perhaps:
