MTA SA fails to start

[KhornateMonkey]

My MTA SA continues to fail to start. I've tried everything, from running to administration to re-installing.

It get's to the splash screen and then disappears, any help?

Do you have any client logfiles available? There might be more information in those. It's almost always related to missing runtimes such as VC++ and DX redist packages.

I would advise to remove all mods and possibly use an original copy of SA. MTA doesn't like modded SA. Especially CLEO.

A different version of the gta_sa.exe could be the solution to your problem.
