Ok, so I installed Gta SA off steam recently, modded it somewhat, then put it back to normal. But now when I try to launch it, It askes me if I want to run it, and I say yes. then the screen flashes, and it askes me if I want to run it. I click yes again, and same thing. Im not sure if im missing a file. My specs are:

Comp. type: Acer Aspire X3400

Video card: Nividia Geforce 9200

OS: Windows 7 64 Bit

Proccessor: Quad core AMD Athlon™ II X4 645 3.10 GHz

Service pack 1


PS. Deleting the .set in gta sa user files did not work, nor did compatibility modes.

someone please help I really want to play!

EDIT: Now its placing a file in the gta sa folder called: gta-sa_1854_assert_2012_4_3T1_30_46C0.mdmp

Try to do this:

1) Uninstall SA.
2) Delete the installation folder if it still exists. (e.g. C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas).
3) Delete the Virtual Store copy of the installation folder too. The Appdata folder might be hidden. (e.g. C:\Users\???\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas).
4) Delete the gta_sa.set file from your user files folder.
5) Reboot.
6) Reinstall SA.

^Let us know if it worked. And it's not even necessary to quote a post that is just above you.

[gta_sa123456789]

No, still no luck any other solutions??

[JF-Mir2]

Are you sure you have no mods installed? Give us a screenshot of your SA directory.

[gta_sa123456789]

How do i post the screenshot? (sorry, im a noob :l )

[JF-Mir2]

Use Snipping Tool, it comes with Windows 7, you can find it in the Start Menu.

There is also ImageShack.com
Please … When POSTING PICTURES try to select 640x480 or smaller for “message boards and forums.” so as to not stretch the forum frame. Or just use a link. If you must have a larger image.

^No worries about that, imagebam lets you post images in thumbnails.

This kept me wondering why the size of your .exe is only 6 mb? Have you tried reinstalling the game? And btw, mods doesn't work on steam, because the game is v3, which could not be modded in some way.

Which steam site did you buy it from?


DOWNGRADING VERSION 3.0 STEAM ?:
Downgrading V3, No possible
Modding GTA:SA v3.0 (steam), Is it possible?
GTA in STEAM / Direct2Drive /V3, modable?[spyware included?]
Is v3 Non-Modable?

I actually have modded it by replacing gta_sa.exe with a different gta_sa.exe, allowing me to install mods. The problem occurred when I deleted the cleo files. I deleted the cleo files because my game was freezing at the loading screen, and figured getting rid of the mods would fix it. I did fully reinstall the game.

Ah-hah, that's your problem. Get rid of the crack and you should be fine. Like I said, v3 is not moddable, but try downgrading it to v1 and mods should work fine after that.
