HALP

[rJCaiG]

So a few months ago my GTA:SA decided to start crashing with opcodes every time a car exploded. I'd put up with it for a while, with people suggesting it was sound drivers or texture settings or just anything really.

So I tried to update sound drivers; no updates. I changed texture settings to no avail. I even freaking re-installed the game and now I can't even get into the GAME without crashing! I think there might me a car exploding underneath me every time I connect. Which means the fresh install didn't help.
Which means I'm out of ideas.

Help! Thanks!

I suggest a complete fresh install.

Have you tried installing GTA SA to a different directory, than the on you usually use?

What, of Windows?

Negative. What difference might that make?

[Shejken]

Is it only MP issue or whole game?

Try SP and tell if same occurs there

I've had the same issues before, what helped was reinstalling GTA, deleting GTA_SA.set and moving GTA San Andreas folder from Rockstar Games folder to Program Files itself.

It's fixed my problems before, just give it a go

Will try all of the above soon. Thanks for the continued responses.
Post Merge: January 01, 2013, 05:11:38 amOkay, so in Singleplayer, I do not crash when a vehicle explodes.
After trying Singleplayer I tried multiplayer, exploded a car, and I got the opcode crash. I then tried to reconnect and on every single reconnect attempt, as soon as I login, I get an opcode crash. No matter how long I wait before logging in, I only crash upon logging in.

I tried moving GTA: San Andreas out of Rockstar Games and just into Program Files, but that hasn't fixed the problem.
I have to go to work now so I'll try another fresh install in a different directory tonight.

Any mods? Sometimes when you re-install the mods will stay and are not uninstalled, also I'd try rebuild the archive too.

Good luck man and let us know here.

[rJCaiG]

I have never used any mods since I first installed SA:MP

[Karmps.]

Then rebuilding the archive wont work...I'm not sure what you should do right now, ill look into this and see what'll come up.

Just to confirm, I have attempted instaling the game in a different directory. I even unticked the box to install the San Andreas Audio, so I'm really at a loss for what the problem could be.

I'm trying to find another .img file that I have of GTA:SA, perhaps it's the copy I'm installing with that's giving me trouble.
Post Merge: January 02, 2013, 11:03:52 amTried a few different things including disabling exclusive use of a sound device in sound options, disabling the main sound device, etc, problem still persists.
I turned up my in-game sound (I've never used GTASA sounds) and it seems to crash on particular noises - eg, there's 5 or 6 sounds for a car hitting things, and on the 5th or 6th time I hit the wall, I crash and the sound repeats over and over.
Post Merge: January 03, 2013, 12:32:31 pmOkay well, I did some searching on the SA-MP forums, and apparently it's some kind of weird ass issue with dual monitors on Windows 7.
So for now it is fixed, but I will try to find a way to continue with two monitors.
Thanks for your help guys!

[Devin]

Interesting as I run windows 7 with dual monitors and have no issues.

[rJCaiG]

What kind of video card drivers + settings?
Post Merge: January 03, 2013, 01:01:22 pmNevermind. I just updated my graphics drivers and that has appeared to fix all of the issues.
