Ruff Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I am running Windows 7 64-bit and San Andreas won't launch.I've read that it might not be compatible (I tried to change the comp. mode) yet some people get it to work.Any help? Quote Link to comment
CarPileUp Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Does it crash, when you try to start the game or does nothing happen? Quote Link to comment

Sergio_Riv Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Anyway... I think it could run better in 32 bits, try to get it better. But don't know exactly. Edited June 17, 2011 by Sergio_Riv Quote Link to comment

That helped a lothttp://forum.mtasa.com/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=31668Tried the first part.. but I don't have a gta_sa.set nor a D3D9.dll... Quote Link to comment
Mathematic Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Not sure, but I think everyone has gta_sa.set. It's located somewhere near Documents in a dir called GTA San Andreas User Files. This file saves graphical settings you changed in-game. If you delete it the game will make a new one on startup and all setting will be back on defaults (what sometimes fixes the problem).I can run GTA: SA normally on my Windows 7 x64. If the above didn't help, uninstall the game and ALSO delete the GTA SA dir in Program Files (/Program Files(x86)/Rockstar Games/GTA San Andreas/). It might work, but if you never added any stuff to that directory (like mods, but also MTA or SA-MP) I'm not sure if it'll fix the problem. Quote Link to comment
Ruff Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Fixed everything by installing San Andreas on my local disk instead of another one. Quote Link to comment
alwTicToc Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The cause is nearly always the gta.set file. If you dont have one the game creates one and stores it here.C:\Users\KingRuff\Documents\GTA San Andreas User FilesIt is used to store all of your config files.Glad you fixed it though!

The thing is that unless you can get to the menu part, the game doesn't create one.Anyway when I restarted my PC, I tried deleting the file and the d3d9.dll which didn't help a damn thing. I then reinstalled GTA and everything worked again.Guess I'm gonna have to keep reinstalling every time I want to restart my computer. Quote Link to comment
