Title: Grand theft auto is not working..
Post by: Traser on January 31, 2014, 10:20:28 pm: Oke, here we go

I once had a ati readon 4800HD series, but that piece of shit died a few months ago, so now i am stuck with a HD 3200 that was stock, built into my pc, not the worst card to have, but the problem is, when i try to play sa:mp, the screen just flashes and does nothing..

Any help on how to solve that?

Code: (Current specs:) [Select]
- Windows 7 ultimate - 4GB RAM - AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor 3.19Ghz - Ati Readon HD 3200
Tried latest drivers, as administrator, other resolution etc etc.

Make sure you have the latest drivers available for your card.

You could try deleting all your sa-mp executable and reinstalling the latest version again, too.

It makes sense that's the problem, because of my old on board card. I suggest searching some more about this, and not going right off of my post. :) Goodluck.
