Hi guys, I'm playing SA-MP on Windows 8 and sometimes when I run the game it'll play singleplayer intros with EAX and other logos and then it will finally show SA-MP logo and connect me to the server. Is there any fix for that? TIA.

Single player can load for 2 reasons - you have installed SA:MP to the wrong folder or you have the wrong version of San Andreas. If you have the wrong version it's easy to fix. . You have to install the downgrade patch.
Sometimes the single-player menu will be shown, but SA:MP will have in fact loaded properly. To fix this you simply need to select an item on the menu then press esc until you're out of it, then SA:MP will proceed to load.

It will run SA-MP but first I have to proceed the logos and intro video. I know that it can run SP but this is not that case. After intro it will show up the SA-MP logo and normally connect me. It also resets my resolution setting.

First step in every problem, Re-install your game.

I did it already because Steam version was pretty buggy and it happened as well. It was few days ago.

Try this.

Zomboy, it never shows SP menu. It just looks like it starts normal SP (EAX, nvidia, R*) but after credits, it won't show up the menu but SAMP logo and connects me.

This is probably because your game version is 1.1 you need to downgrade to 1.0 for SA:MP to work properly.

You got wrong patch.
