Guest Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hi there! I've had a problem when trying to play MTA:DM .. I start it and after I see the main menu it stays like 5 seconds then it completely freezes up, and I can only shut it down with Task manager I'm using Windows Vista. I've tried to use compatibility mode (XP and 98) and I have the same problem. I also tried to run as administrator and no luck so far Please help and thanks for reading this. p.s: I have a CLEAN gta copy. No mods, no stuff addded. p.s2: I also read the "KNOWN ISSUES" and it didn't help me much. Link to comment

Gangsta_GTAF Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 srry to bump but is anybody going to answer me? Do you have version 1.0? If you have version 2.0 downgrade it with the downgrader. You can download it here: http://www.gtaforum.nl/index.php?automo ... howfile=67 If you have V1, try to reinstall MTA and your San Andreas. good luck. Link to comment

Guest Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 *bump* Can I get a lil' support please? It keeps freezing up Link to comment
Guest Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 ok the topic CAN be closed because I succesfully made it! Now I can play ok I am gonna say how I made it because some other ppl may encounter this problem.. ```````````` so you use Windows Vista and when u click on MTA it works.. but without doing anything in the menu , it gets frozen? Then try to change compatibility mode from Multi Theft Auto.exe to Windows 98/Me and gta_sa.exe to windows xp sp2.. that's the drill.. now it should work ```````````` Link to comment
Kaotic Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Still freezes here, im on Vista, tried every solution and nothings working Link to comment
Guest Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Ah, BinSlayers solution fixed it for me, it still just closes if I click settings though, it shows for a few milleseconds then dissapears EDIT: Nevermind, it crashes after about 10 seconds now. it just prolongs the crash lol. Link to comment

NTAuthority Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 For me the problem was solved with BinSlayer's compatibility mode, and using the coreconfig.xml from http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... ing_splash Link to comment

Mr.hankeyeye Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 yay ! that got it working finally thnx man Link to comment
Guest Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 It probably would work for me too, but I uninstalled it yesterday so I could reinstall SA-MP (I did have GTA:SA installed twice for this purpose, but one of them broke :l) and now I get the "Your computer is associated with another account" on signup, so I use my old account, and when its installed it says "This serial is invalid, please reinstall MTA", I uninstall and reinstall, used the I don't want an account option, it still says it.
