Your Question:
(come and stay at the, Y-M-C-)Ayyy lmao.

I wanted to hop into SARP after talking with some old friends and discovered I wasn't able to.

---------
Problem:
---------
Every time I try to load a server (not just SARP) the screen would show the typical loading screen but right before it finishes, it'd crash.


---------
Solutions I've Tried:
---------
- Running as Admin.
- Reinstalling SA-MP
- Reinstalling San Andreas
- Changed the compatibility to Windows 98
- Renaming/Relocating the directory

Does GTA offline work fine?


Edit:
I was searching on youtube and found this, maybe it works.

Try getting a clean gta3.img?

[RivetReaper]

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

I think that the only option left is to reinstall / reformat your computer.

[Dylan DiVittorio]

Okay, same problem occurred with me a while back then, So I will give you the solution that worked for me but there is no guarantee though!

Basically, I tried more than that you did and I still had my game crashing and stuff, So I reinstalled the original audio folder of the game and my game worked fine.

So I suggest you to do the same or if not audio, try another folder because it's due to one of the folder of the game as corrupted in the setup itself I guess or otherwise if you installed any mods later.

Did you have mods on before the re-install? Because I've freshly installed my GTA and there's still mods on it somehow.

[Keven Ruthless]

Must be the files you have. Try to remove all the old GTA San andreas files from your computer and download new files.

Awaiting player 24 hours.

[RivetReaper]

So far, I've tried everything suggested and yet nothing's happened.

Delete all your GTA files and also SAMP . then install a new one.

[Bradley]

I know this sounds weird But I did have the same problem if you go into your amp directory, and then UN-install the SAMP client then re download it from the San Andreas website mine loaded up and joined normally. Hope this helps.

[RivetReaper]

I'm going to reinstall SAMP and GTA a few more times. Update some drivers and such, see what'll happen.

DO like what I did, reinstall your windows. When my windows was fucked up I had the same issue.

[Alexei]

Nope, nothing.

My friend's dad bought me GTA SA for my birthday. It was a physical copy of GTA SA 1.0.

I've held onto this copy for years and constantly use it to download and play SAMP with, that's why it came as a surprise that I couldn't play SAMP.

Updated my drivers several times and finally got it to work tho. tybg.
