SA:MP - Wont start

[Casper]

Hello folks,

Firstly, Im not sure if this is the right board to post such problems, when it is just let me know.
Alright now to my problem. Always when I start SA:MP the Server list appears, well thats normal. When I click on ArgonathRPG server and "Connect", my Window color changes to the Basic-Window Design, normal aswell. But than it suddently changes back and nothing happens, the game isnt starting. The weird thing is, when I go to my files than to "Documents" and delete the "GTA San Andreas User Files" the game starts normally, but I need to change the resolution again my own settings etc., when I save my settings and quit the game and start again, I got the problem again. The window changes to Windows-Basic design and back to Aero and nothing happens. When I delete "GTA San Andreas User Files" again the game starts and I need to change resolution etc. and so on...

I had the problem already once, and simply reinstalled San Andreas and installed again, and the game works about 2 weeks, and than this problem comes again. Is it because of the installed mods? Well I got my own ENB series installed and Cleo 4 with ELM V9. The problem came up aswell, when I didnt have installed Cleo 4 ELM V9. Maybe its the ENB? But why?. I read some ENB's are using their own "Antialiasing", but its not the case in this problem.
If anyone want to check what I got in my ENB series, than you can do that by downloading it..

ENB and Timecyc

Try reinstalling the game that should fix the problem. I had the samething NOT with SA:MP but with a different game when I reinstalled it the problem had been fixed.
If that won't work then google it

If you read carefully, u can read "I had the problem already once, and simply reinstalled San Andreas and installed again, and the game works about 2 weeks, and than this problem comes again."
Thanks for your reply anyway

Use Single Player to set the display settings.
I wasn't able to change settings in SA:MP either.

I guess you missunderstood something. Its not about changing settings IG, its about that my game isnt starting. BTW. Singleplayer isnt starting aswell.

Have you tried deleting the gta_sa.set file?

Have you tried deleting the gta_sa.set file?

Well if I delete the whole "GTA San Andreas User Files", "gta_sa.set" file is included.

SA:MP doesn't like some mods, have you tried to get on SA:MP without any mods installed?

Right now its working perfectly with all the mods installed, lets see how long it holds.
Well I guess without Mods it would work. But its still strange, I mean I played more than a half year with the same mods, till suddently this came. (About 3 Weeks ago)

I've had the same sort of issue on SA:MP as you had, I had wheel mods, retextured graphics and so on, I played for a year then one day it just stopped working, each time I tried to open the game it would crash and I hadn't changed a single thing in the game.
I guess it's a random SA:MP bug.

Alright, quick update.

1 Week gone and the problem came up again. Any ideas? :/
