Recently reinstalled gta sa to play sp and added to it the "silent patch". Single player works fine for the time being so I decided to try samp for old times sakes fun. Well my client crashes after loading. I'm thinking it has to do with the silent patch. Are you guys aware of this? Happens to you guys as well? Any of you uses the silent patch? I'm trying to discover was going on and understand if I will have to give up on the multiplayer(samp) if i choose to concentrate on the single player part since I never was able to finish it.

I will ask you 3 simple questions:
1. Have you tried re-installing GTA:SA + SA:MP?
2. Are you using patch (US 1.0)?
3. Do you got mods installed in your game? (If yes, that cause SA:MP crashes on startup.Some old mods caching on the gta sa directory and sometimes cause SA:MP crashes.)

1-Yes,and when reinstalling samp Im getting a message that it cant overwrite over 2 certain files(will provide file names as I continue troubleshooting)

2-Yes,it appears(correct me if wrong) that there are various ways of doing it. The one provided here at the front page of samp(the one Ive used in the past) and this other one which I'm using at the moment. "First, you must downgrade your game to V1.0. You must do it with this tool specifically, otherwise the game with GInput may and WILL crash at startup.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...downgrader.zip
Put the files in your GTA:SA folder and then follow the instructions to downgrade the game. RUN THE DOWNGRADER AS AN ADMINISTRATOR."

3-Yes,this one: https://steamcommunity.com/app/12120...6318964479523/
Im using this one because I never finished single player(lost saves) and not having proper wide screen 16:9 made me lose interest in restarting the game on top of losing my saves in first place.

3A-Now,if you read about the link for the mod I'm using^ you can see many "fixes" that it the mods implements or try to solve. Of all those I'm mostly just interests on this: * 16:9 resolutions are now selectable (like in 1.01).
So I'm more than willing to start all from scratch and not use this mod if I knew I could have proper 1080 16:9 res&aspect ratio for gta sa single player. And as an added plus would be able to play samp w/no problems cause I wouldn't be using this mod just to be able to play good old 16:9 wide screen.

I would recommend contacting the author of this update.
Or create a GTA SA Directory (in diffirent place not rockstar games)
Or just updated GTA SA back to 1.0

Thanks. Still the questions remains for users of samp: Any of you uses the silent patch? Are you guys aware of this? Happens to you guys as well?

And Alex if you read the *change log/list of fixes* for that patch did you see anything that would conflict with samp?

CHANGELOG:

* NUM5 is now bindable (like in 1.01)

crash)

(defaults to Steam sizes)

the game will now default to 1.0

on each model both indoors and outdoors (on Low details, game's stock behaviour has been kept - allowing
up to 4 lights per model outdoors and 6 indoors)

two-pass rendering mode (see SilentPatchSA.ini for more details; can be toggled on/off, DISABLED
by default)

Every patch will conflict with samp no matter the changes.
Basic explanation: Everytime the source is compiled the memory offsets change, meaning samp can't find what it's looking for as it has moved location.
