Can't fix game crashes / Your game setup thread
7 years ago
Russia

Just can't fix it. Dunno what to do. My game crashes in runs only at pause buffering while doing duping. My OS is Windows 7 Maximum 64bit. I already tried:

  • Diffrent versions of the game: v1, v1.01, v3.0
  • Win 98 compatibility
  • This DEP thing (Data Execution Prevention)
  • "Run as Admin"
  • Disable visual themes

And It's Still Fucking Crashes

Any suggestions? Or at least just type your setup in this thread: game version and any compatibility settings if you use. I would be very grateful.

steam 3.0 No any special settings. Did you try to test without stream? For me sometimes game crashes while OBS is running. It's all about PC config, imo

Hmm that sucks. I'm not sure what to do about that. I mean I have mouse issues when I pause/unpause that seem impossible to resolve too so who knows how this shit works.

In any case I'm running: Win 7 64bit i7-4790k@4Ghz GTX 970

I use 1.01, with core affinity set to 0 when I first run the game, and that's about it.

When I added more songs to my user playlist my game began to do this. If you are having custom songs you may want to delete enough to have under 100 on your list / find the corrupted one and remove it.

Ultimatum, my game crahes when I try to launch it while it's captured in OBS. So I need to switch off game capture first and then launch the game. Did anyone have this issue too?

Tirean, is this shit is real?! I have 121 mp3 songs in my user playlist. Well, I'll try to delete them and check does this help me.

Also, I see some people use affinity change to 1 core. How it affects/helps the game?

Try deleting your GTA San Andreas User Files, and deleting local content off of steam. Re install on steam and you should be fine,dont worry steam will make another GTA San Andreas User Files for you. (Steam)

Setting core affinity to 0 or 1 or whatever limits the game to running on one core, since the game was deigned with only single-core CPUs in mind it fixes a lot of weirdness, most notably the mouse issues.

I notice a really low performance when I change affinity to 1 core. Like game Alt+Tabs is so long, cutscenes skips a little slower, slower pause buffering. CPU: i7-860 @3.8Ghz

Russia

So, what I did for now: I reinstall the game, downgrade it to v1.0 and then put v1.01 .exe. And now I change affinity to 1 core every time I launch the game.

Well, now game doesn't crash when I launch it with game capture enabled in OBS.

Also, for now I'm not gonna put any songs in user playlist.

I guess thats all what I can do for now. Gonna "crash test" game again at the next run.

setting affinity to 1 will fix game going black screen while pause buffering. If your game lags when your affinity is on 1, make it normal after you done the pause buffering then when you need to do it again set it to 1 again, my strats :D

Coollertmb, can you link a full v1.01 patch please?

Lelreset, yeah, that's the best solution, thanks :)

Coollertmb, can't install: "Old file does not exist" :( Tried EU and US patch on v1.0 .exe

Germany

Haha, reset, that's good to know. I'll make my affinity changer user-friendlier.

Russia

Сoollertmb, I downgrade my Steam v3.0 to v1.0 by this patcher http://gtaforums.com/topic/753764-steam-downgrader/ And this "smart" v1.01 patcher wan't upgrade this v1.0 exe.

Russia

So hard >_<

Edit: I downloaded original v1.0 EU exe, then patched the game (now patch likes this original exe), and replaced the patched exe to NO-CD exe. I did everything right?

Also, are saves from v1.0 should work on v1.01? For me they working. That's ok?

Edit 2: But RunnerHAWORTH's Any% Saves are not working :(

Edit 3: RunnerHAWORTH's Any% Saves are not working even on downgraded v1.0. Only I have this problem?

If anything tbh, as i run steam and 1.0 windows 7, just use windows xp (service pack 3) would be the best compatibility option and crashing wont happen like it would with windows 7 or 8 compatibility

Yea, RunnerHAWORTH's saves are for Steam. You could use gtasnp.com or some other program to convert them to 1.0 .
