[SA:MP/ GTA SA] Game not starting up after PC restart.[W10]

[Brian]

Hi everyone, in the past few days, every time I try to connect to any server after restarting my laptop, GTA SA refuses to start up. Usually in task manager, a GTASA tab would appear, but it does not start up at all, the only way to fix the game is by reinstalling the whole game, which is getting annoying. I hope anyone has a fix.

Spoiler for Click for picture of PC information:

Feel free to ask for any more information in case it's neccesary, hope someone is able to help me.

Spoiler for GTA folder:

Tried downgrading then upgrading graphics? Had the same issue when I got W10 and now it works perfectly!

Try running on Windows 7/XP compatibility.

Try running on Windows 7/XP compatibility.

Game starts up now, but it gives the following error once the loading bar is done (Don't have any mods, just a clean install with GTA and SAMP)

What exactly do you mean, downgrading from W10 to W7?


PS: SAMP was running fine before, this just started happening recently.

Restart you PC Again  Then after the restart rename the Folder that your gta installed in Like if the folder name is SAMP rename it to samp1

when you rename it open samp it will tell you to locate it do it then you can join the game again

that happend for me just 2 days ago  same windows 10

Try re-naming your GTA SA folder into GTA SA1 or move it to other location. Nice specs btw I hope I get them one day.

That appears to have worked, do I have to rename the folder every time I restart my computer though?

nope just once

try to /q and re join?

Appears that after PC restart, issue has returned. Changeing the folders name did fix it for that session, but once the PC restarts it returns, so still need help.

No, remove the graphicsdrivers and then install the latests again

[Link9rly]

Do you have multiple monitor setup?

[Brian]

Do you have multiple monitor setup?

One monitor, it's a laptop.

No, remove the graphicsdrivers and then install the latests again

Try deleting gta_sa.set in GTASA User Files

All of the above items have not been able to assist me on a permanent basis so far, only on temporarily basis, I would like to thank you all for the assistance how ever.

I'd re-install DirectX + the game once again if I were you..
