GTA San Andreas part 1

andersnees

Hi
I've just installed San Andreas. The game starts fine, but when the graffiti are done the game is frezing, and I have to shutdown the computer

Anyone who know how to fix that?

What I have tried:
Run in compatibility mode for both XP and Vista
Disable visual themes
Disable desktop composition
Run as admin

daniel101

well it obviously ain't gonna work in XP compatibility mode,
try lowering all graphics to its lowest, with should cause less lag, with should stop game from freezing, sorry, only thing i can come up with

Hi andersnees welcome to the forums.

Firstly I hope we manage to get the issue resolved for you as GTA-SA is 1 of the best games i've ever played

Secondly if you've got capable hardware then you could try downloading the latest patches/updates that may be available (if you haven't already).

Just a thought

I've updated the driver for my graphicscard manual, but it is still not working.

It is not when I play it freez, but when I start it up. Right after the nVidia logo has been there the screen gets black. But there are still sound in 10 seconds or something.

GTA San Andreas - 000 - The Introduction (Special Edition) - Google Video - Recherche vidéo sur Truveo I can hear the first 10 seconds of this, but the screen is black. After the 10 seconds the game freez.

Other things I could try?

Orbital Shark

You could try here - GTA San Andreas PC Downloads (Demo Patch Maps Levels Trailers Movies) Index Page - GamersHell.com - and download the latest patch.

Hope it helps

Problem solved I just removed the intro movies

GTA SA doesn't work for me on Build 7000. Hope it'll run on RC.

Uber Philf

Street Mix

Goddamn f*ck. This game doesn't work on my RC 7100. More info about this problem here:
GTAForums.com -> Can't launch on Windows 7

Edit: oh great. I tryed to downgrade it and I've discovered that my game version is 'unknown'.

Shak 10

Didn't work on build 7000 but worked on the RC for me.

Blastberga

The sounds in San Andreas doesn't work. Only some sounds work but not anything CJ does or when he drives a car you can't hear the engine or anything like that. When starting a mission, I don't hear what they are saying only the subs.. please help me i can't figure out whats the prob. And I have downloaded the latest patch but the patch can't be installed..

driecken

I just installed my GTA SA on ultimate 64 bit no problems, plays fine and everything, no crashes or video glitches so far.

I will try vice city next, i wonder if the back to the future mod will still work with that, always loved the ability to fly the car and escape wanted stars with time travel if needed haha.

dsmith0607

I have a windows 7 running on a virtual machine and I updated my video driver and it worked for me.

Zacharias

I just have one question: Does GTA: San Andreas works on Windows 7 like on XP/Vista? I want to buy Windows 7 but if GTA don't works on it I will not buy it.

No problem glade to help out.

I have a problem. I run Windows 7 Ultimate and can only play GTA SA in compatibility mode for windows 98 ( any other compatibility mode doesn't allow me to use the mouse during game play ). Ok, so far so good, game work's fine. But I downloaded a 100% complete savegame, and it doesn't appear in the game menu under win98 compatibility. If I try another compat. mode the savegame appear, but mouse and some game sounds don't work. If anyone has a solution for this, please reply.

angeloelibz24

@Blastberga: Download the 1.1 patch. This patch issues the sound problem, among others.

@Cristianob: That's one odd problem. I have GTA San Andreas in my Windows 7 Ultimate, and it works like a charm (with mods). Try the 1.1 patch and be sure the drivers for your mouse up-to-date and functioning well (if you're using an Intel mobo/GPU, the INF should be functioning properly). Better yet, try asking in GTAForums.

Hi i was reading about your problem with gta san andreas

if you have a router and an other pc with windows vista download gta on your windows vista system then go in to net working on your windows 7 pc and go to desktop double click gta setup and it should install on your windows 7 pc

thats what i done just posting this to help people out

Zacharias

Hello,

@angeloelibz24: The problem is not with the Mouse drivers. It's an Windows Problem because the game was made for Windows ME and XP not for Vista or Win 7.

@Cristianob: When you play with Compability Modus for Win 98 the savegames and User Tracks are stored in C:\Users\Public\Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files. I play it with compability modus on vista too and I had that same problem.

I hope I helped

Yeah it is running smooth on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. As far as I know it should also run on Win 7 Home edition 64 bit. What type of error you get?? And please provide your system specification so as we can figure out the problem correctly.

did you ever change the exe like downgrade or upgrade it? If you did that the old save file with the old exe wont work with the new exe so you will need to start a new game

Pretty old post but since I ended up here I figured I would add my $.02.
I have an ASUS gaming laptop with Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

Installed GTA SA a few min ago and it ran fine but the mouse didn't work. Found another forum with a fix that worked for me.
In the GTA SA.exe properties, compatibility I have the following... Run in XP SP2, Disable Visual Themes, Disable Desktop Composition and Run As Administrator.

The "Themes" and "Composition" is what fixed the mouse issue for me.

Also; I read that some of you have no sound. When I was installing I chose custom install and saw that "Game Audio" was un-checked by default. Perhaps it never got installed for you.
Try custom install and be sure Game Audio is checked to be installed.

I also saw a video on youtube that touched on the DEP (Data Execution Prevention) feature of Windows 7. The user had to set an exemption for GTA SA.exe.
However I didn't set one, as I only have DEP on for Windows system programs, not all programs.
So far, as of posting this, GTA SA is working, intro movies, audio and mouse. Happy gaming!
