Problems with starting SA

[Tovenaarke]

Hi dear SA players,

I dont know where i need to post is, so i try this way:

I have problems with starting my SA game. I have never had this problem, so i dont know what to do. Its not only the SAMP, but also my 'normal' version (SP). When i try to start a game (connect with SAMP or double click my SA game), he seams to start, but dont do a thing (the computer 'thinks' for a sec, but dont start the game)

So my suggestion is to restart everything, it means reinstall SA. But do i loose everything? I mean on my account i had like 400k, and thats not less (i want a home, so i collect some money :-))

My name is the same on the forum as i the game.

It would be nice when someone could help me! Ty alot!!

Your account is a profile, re-installing SA will not affect your money and stuff.

fieuw, that's cool.

my problem started when a friend of me intalled an other screen. He changed something with mHz or something like that. i put it back, so maybe there 's something wrong?

Change the screen resolution of SA ingame and it will probably be fixed >.>

[Tovenaarke]

i hope it can be fixed that way, but i dont know how i need to start changing. If i need to start the game: i cant :-)

greetz and ty for the help!!

You probably mean that he changed your monitor refresh rate - this is the speed of your monitor.
The higher it is - the better it is for your eyes

So... go to your desktop, right click it, press properties.
Now go to settings, press advanced, press monitor.
Be sure to click on "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" - it should be checked.
Try playing with the screen refresh rate...

Also, on the same window, you should see a button on the top called Troubleshooting.
After you've opened it, make sure that your hardware acceleration is at full...


Cheers and I hope this helps,

Check the system specs again of the game.

Did you look at "Troubleshooting" ?
That might be the problem..

Also, have you installed your video card drivers? Do other games work?
