freakyfreak

Question

Fresh copy of Windows 8.1, after PC formatting. Fonts in custom gui aren't working, they don't load on interface. One of my friends told me is it not enought RAM memory problem, but while i run MTA and play on server (system processes and screenshooter working in background) I have 800mb+ free RAM memory, lol. Please help me solve this problem, thanks so much. :redhotevil: Graphic drivers are not up to date, directx is installed.

My PC specs:

Processor - AMD Phenom 9550 Quad-Core, 2.2ghz

Graphic card - integrated with motherboard, nVidia GeForce 6100 nForce 405

RAM memory - 2 gigabytes

My problem looks like this (no fonts in interface, no blur on login screen):

Alright, according to your Motherboard's manual, it looks like you can increase the amount of your VRAM through BIOS.

To do that, please do the following steps:

1. Restart your PC and access the BIOS menu.

Not sure how to access the BIOS menu?

Once Windows shuts down and you see the Award Modular BIOS (or similar) text on the black screen, immediately press the 'Delete' key several times.

2. When you are in the BIOS menu, select the Advanced BIOS Features option and press the 'Enter' key.

3. Now, select the Frame Buffer Size option and increase it from 64M to either 128M or 256M.

You should be able to do it either by pressing the 'Enter' key and choosing the value, or by pressing the '+' / '-', or 'Page Up' / 'Page Down' keys to adjust the value.

4. Make sure not to modify any other option if you are unsure what they do.

If you accidentally modified an option, you can just press the 'Esc' key a few times and discard changes once asked by pressing the 'Y' key. Then you can re-start from the beginning of this advice.

5. If you are sure that you did not modify other options, press the 'F10' key and confirm saving the settings by pressing the 'Y' key (you might need to press the 'Enter' key too afterwards if nothing happens).

Your PC will restart automatically.

Once all these steps are done, try launching MTA:SA again and see if it resolved the problem.

In case you set your VRAM to 128MB and it did not solve the problem, try increasing it to 256MB. The downside of increasing that value is that it also reduces the amount of your System RAM, so that's why you might want to try with 128MB first.

I increased Frame Buffer Size in BIOS to 256M without increasing to 128M and problem was solved, works like a charm. Thanks so much, bro! 8)
