Title: SAMP not running on Win 10
Post by: Erion. on January 17, 2016, 11:13:04 pm: So, I upgraded my PC from Win 7 to Win 10 and now when i try to join Argonath, the game starts to open and then i get crashed. Single Player works perfectly, tried compatibility mode Win 7, Win XP(Service Pack 2-3), Win Vista still sometimes i get crashed sometimes "Unable to execute".

Please help!!

Also, make sure you got DirectX9 optional components installed (either via Programs and Features or via web installer).
In addition, make sure your game does not lie in C:\Program Files etc

Within your SA-MP click the settings and see if its on your GTA SA folder.

Post by: Brian on January 18, 2016, 12:29:42 pm: Go in to your SAMP, select a different folder.
Try connecting to the server, a pop up should come up saying your GTA_SA can not be located in that folder and to select the correct one.

Select the correct folder, and SAMP should launch.

Other than that, you can try to get another GTA_SA.exe, those were the two issues for me.

Also, make sure your GTA SA folder is on your desktop, and not in C:/Program files, it tends to create issues there.
Also make sure your firewall or anti virus is not blocking GTA SA, as my Norton (ew) was blocking GTA SA.exe and a few other files.
