SAMP crashes when changing resolution to 1920x1080 on Windows 10 - Shockmouth - 22.02.2016

A few months ago, I must have made a big mistake in upgrading to Windows 10. Because I have gone through so much pain, reinstalling, uninstalling, deleting, downloading and restarting just to get this fucking game to work. The thing is, while everybody else playing SAMP might as well stay on Windows 7, there will come a time when support for 7 will be outphased, so I hope the developers at SAMP can do everything they can to improve compatibility with Windows 10.

Anyway, onto the main topic.

First, I have a vanilla installation of GTA San Andreas. Freshly extracted. Hasn't been run. Before I do anything I make sure to replace the gta_sa.exe with the v1.0 HOODLUM crack as it is the most consistent .exe out there. I made sure to delete my GTA San Andreas User Files folder beforehand and installed SAMP. I open SAMP and join my own private LAN server that I can use to test mods and see if the game works. The game loads successfully and starts in 640x480 resolution. I go to change the screen resolution to 1920x1080, and when I apply the setting, this happens:

So to try and fix this, I set gta_sa.exe to run as an administrator, and I do the same thing with SAMP to prevent the "Error: unable to execute" window from popping up. I try to load up the game again, and this time, THE GAME IMMEDIATELY CRASHES BEFORE IT CAN EVEN START UP, with the same opcode as above (0x53FE3AEB)

However, this is because when we applied the 1920x1080 setting, it is saved to the gta_sa.set file in Documents, so if I delete it the game loads up fine again, except obviously at 640x480 because naturally the game creates a fresh gta_sa.set when it starts. If I try changing it to any other resolution, everything up until this point repeats itself.

So then the next thing to try and do is mess around with compatibility settings. I delete gta_sa.set again and set gta_sa.exe to run in compatibility mode in Windows 7 (and still as an administrator for integrity). I start up the game again, and this time, I get a new opcode:

Okay, so Windows 7 is obviously too new for a 12-year-old game such as GTA San Andreas, so I set it down to Windows XP Service Pack 3. This time, the game actually tries to load and does so all the way until I crash with the same opcode as before (0x0040FB80)

Windows XP Service Pack 2?

Windows Vista? Nope, 0x0040FB80 treats it the exact same way as XP.

Vista Service Pack 1? 0x0040FB80.

Vista Service Pack 2? 0x0040FB80.

Okay so it doesn't like Windows Vista, 7 or XP. It's not likely that this next one would work, but maybe Windows 8 because its the most recent setting?

Ahaha, just kidding. 0x0040FB80.

So after all that hassle - there's only two settings left - 98 / ME and 95. I wouldn't want to have to run something with something as trivial as Windows 98 compatibility mode, but at this point I might as well try it.

This time, the game loads up successfully again. But then of course, when I try to change to 1920x1080 resolution:

(which is basically the same thing that happened with Windows 7. However, it's also worth nothing that when you run the game in Windows 98 mode, it loses the ability to create folders in other locations, which means it doesn't create the GTA San Andreas User Files folder, saves settings or pick up on the User Track Player)

And no - removing the compatibility setting, starting the game (it loads completely without one), changing the resolution and crashing then putting any compatibility setting back on doesn't do anything - it instantly crashes as soon as I try to start it up. Running samp.exe with the same compatibility setting as gta_sa.exe doesn't change anything either.

So I tried a different gta_sa.exe, this one that apparently works for Windows 10. I replaced the initial HOODLUM .exe and started the game without any compatibility settings. The game starts up at 640x480 and I try to change the resolution to 1920x1080. 0x53FE3AEB.

However, when I then set the compatability mode to Windows XP Service Pack 3 and tried then, the loading screen appeared at 1920x1080, but when it finished loading still delivered the same opcode as before (0x0040FB80)

And then I tried a third gta_sa.exe from www.gta-sa.ru - and I had exactly the same problem.

So how do I get SAMP working on Windows 10 at 1920x1080 resolution? How do I fix this? SAMP Addon was a temporary solution which worked until I used SAAT to replace sounds in the game, and that addon installs some audio plugin stuff (among other things which aren't necessary for me) that messes it up. Apparently this is caused by a bug within SAMP - what causes it and what specific fix do I need to do to fix it, if I can?

Have you installed the correct drivers properly? You can find the drivers for your computer on the manufacturer's website.

Video drivers are always up to date with GeForce Experience. But I don't think it has anything to do with drivers because I was able to get the game running before in Windows 98 compatibility mode, but I can't remember how and plus there are people who can run the game just fine.

Miraculously, it was all due to the GTA installation itself... the one I was using originally didn't have cutscene audio or radio. So I installed a fresh one via .iso instead > set both to run as administrator and somehow it worked!

For future reference:

1. Get clean GTA:SA from an .iso file
2. Replace gta_sa.exe with the Windows 10 .exe here
3. Set both SAMP and gta_sa to run as administrator
4. Should work!
