Game keeps freezing.

[Ellz121]

Hey guys, I need a bit of help.

Every time I type in my password to log into argonath rpg, I spawn for 3 seconds and then my whole game goes frozen.
This keeps happening and I can't play.

Can anyone help?

Obvious pair of questions;
When did this phenomena occur?
Do you have any mods installed?

If you can; try F4 and /kill to see if that's possible.

[Ellz121]

Yes I have a huntley mod and I tryed to install another one but don't know if it worked. I deleted everything to do with the second mod but the Huntley mod is still there.

And yes I have tryed /kill in the 3 seconds I have before it is frozen.
It first happend about 24 hours ago and it is still happening.

Do you have any mods installed?

This kind of problem is only caused by mod incompabilty with SA:MP/Argonath/GTA, or corrupt model files.

First, if you are running the game on windows 7, try setting the processor affinity for the game to zero (this can be done in task manager, google for extra info)

Plan B, IF YOU DONT WANT TO reinstall the whole game:

download imgtool from:http://www.thegtaplace.com/downloads/f552-img-tool-2-0

And the original/default huntley skin from here:http://www.sitedogta.com.br/veiculos-originais/download/download-huntley.htm

Click on "Clique aqui" to start the download

Extract both the downloaded files.

Using imgtool 2.0:
1) open it
2) search for gta3.img in your san andreas/models folder
3) open it up
4) press F2
5) type in huntley.txd
6) find the file on the list
7) right klick it and select replace
8) find the corresponding file (the downloaded huntley.txd)
9) repeat the same steps for .dff
10) try and run your game
11) if it works, good
12) if it doesn't reinstall the whole game.

[Ellz121]

No it didn't work!

How would I go about re installing the whole game?

[Kemppa]

Are you sure you replaced the files correctly?
Does the game still freeze at the same time at the same place?
Did you try changing your processor affinity?

If the answer to all of those questions above is "Yes" then, Yes, only thing that can help you is probably a clean install.

Reinstalling:

1) Either you mount the disc if you have an .iso file/ you find the installation files folder on your hard drive.
Then you open the setup.exe file in your install files folder and follow the instructions on the screen. If the game is uninstalled, you run the setup.exe again and follow the on-screen instructions to install a fresh copy of the game.

[Ellz121]

Yes still freeze in same place.

I think I repalced the correctly.

and no, where do I find the processor affinity?

It's the place man not your SA:MP or GTA, this problem happens to me like 1 month ago. Try tun run your SA:MP as an administrator.

Changing affinity:

1) Run your GTA:Sa singleplayer
2) Open task manager but let the game run
3) Choose applications tab
4) Right click on GTA:San Andreas
5) Left click on go to process
6) Computer will automatically find the gta_sa.exe process
7) Right click on the process
8) Choose Set Affinity
9) If a box opens, you check only the box in front of CPU 0
10) Done.

And uhh, it is highly unlikely that it is a privilege problem.

Make a new account, Ellz. After login, try talk to an admins about it. I did the same things and problem fixed, you can able to play with your old account.

This worked ^ but it did freeze again when I walked back to that spot. Looks like I will just have to try avoid that spot.
