No problem i like solving client problems

[Jay.]

Back again! all help is much appreciated...

Ok and i'm gonna explain more about this problem.

1. Sometimes when I join, I can connect enough to see the server messages but the game just freezes I can't do anything, so i use task manager to close it.

2. I can connect everything is fine, I can play play for a while. but then my game just freezes , like 1. but after i've played for a bit, so again, I use task manager to close it.
Theres more of this problem, so I closed it with task manager and start my game again but after it loads, the screen is just black! It doesn't load or do anything! So I quit again for a bit then a little while later I can join...

This is so weird, please can anyone help ?

Some more:

I'm using 3b R2(And no im not upgrading, so don't ask) I never use to have this weird problem, I tried re-installing my game because I had some car/sound mods and enbseries, So i completely re-installed my game but that didn't help, same with sa-mp. I even re-installed that. sa-mp runs as an administrator and still this problem occurs.

I've a few ideas of what it might be but i'm not sure if they can cause things like this:

I have a really old disk, about 3 years old with allot of scratches on it, it loads but sometimes it gives me a message like, ehh: 'The disk not authorized' or something, I don't really know

Could this be the freezing? Because my disk is scratched? or not.

Things I have tried with help and by myself:

Re-installing sa-mp/GTA SA
Scanning and cleaning my registry.
Scanning my entire computer and cleaning it up.

Again! All the help is much appreciated

Oh and I am using windows 7...


Thanks.

I would suggest using a no-cd crack, but that's not allowed.

I think it could be something to do with Windows 7, try setting SA-MP and San Andreas compatibility to windows XP.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Maybe this helps.

I am really know good with this stuff.

EDIT: I changed GTA to the same settings as sa-mp in that picture! AND IT FROZE AGAIN.

I even tried windows service pack 3... but failed too..
I'm getting sick of this now

[Jean_Pierre]

Okay, So. It propably has something to do with your video card. Could we get your video card information?

Erm, this is all I found

3D business and gaming graphics performance
desktop perfomance for windows aero


Also this is new computer just got it recently, so i don't see why this would be the problem..

Funtime: It sounds like one of your RAM-sticks might be broken. If you just got the computer, you should have warranty, and be able to return it and get it fixed.
If you've knowledge enough to open it up (!! If you bought the computer already built, like a Dell or something like that warranty goes away if you open the case !!)

you could try to remove one RAM-stick at a time, and try.
If you have two, take one out, if it still doesn't work, take out that one too and try the other one.

You can also try to disable antivirus while playing.

Great, I really want to dismantle my pc myself... no experience at all.

Also i don't know if i can return it, it's not that new. probably about 2 months

EDIT: I also have another game installed that hogs quite alot of RAM, would uinstalling that help ?

Also I use mta mapper(san andreas) and that works fine, i can play for as long as i want with no problems

[Jean_Pierre]

Mta got nothing to do with This, neither videocard. How long is the insurance of ur comp?

Why does this problem occur on sa-mp? this is just stupid... I'm so freaken mad now, sorry, but I just don't want to take it back or anything and if i did i'd be so grumpy.

and it's new, you probably don't know what it's like being in this situation..
Having a server and all that, how to test things when this shitty problem occurs? -.-

[Kazzy1]

How did you fix it?

I used a program to fix them all, dunno if it's related to yours though.

[Jay.]

[SARCASM][ANGRY]problem back yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy[SARCASM][/ANGRY] - Sorry for this, im just fed up, really..

Problem back, im going to write a list of things tried now

I have tried:
-Re-installing GTA/SA-MP
-Scanning and cleaning my registry
-Getting a new San Andreas disk
-Searched for my problem, nothing found
-Deleting gta_sa set.
-Installing my GTA in a different directory.
-Scanning for RAM issues, none were found

-----------------------------------------------
I've even searched more, I had also had some help from Jean, but this problem is still happening...
I'm starting to think it might be something serious, in which case I might take it back to the shop and ask there.
But if anyone knows any other problems, please say! I'm going to upload a video too, when I have time.

Thanks alot all help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry about the small writting, didn't think it was gonna be that small. Anyway you can probably see my problem without me explaining anything else and if you did want to know more, check my other posts.

Thanks again!

Hmm. It HAS to be a malware, win32 Worm or something. Try to scan for viruses. Win32 is extremely dangerous

Try changing the settings In-game, change the resolution to 1024 or something

[Jean_Pierre]

Man he cant. His game stops responding in the loading screen. He cant access the settings.
