Very well, I am using a laptop with windows 8, and since I bought it, I haven't had problems with SAMP nor GTA SA, a quick resolution fix solves everything.


My Problem is that today when my computer wanted to update itself, and after it was done, I couldn't use SA-MP nor GTA SA properly.

SA-MP doesn't load, I get a loading bar that never loads, and GTA SA works fine for a few minutes before lagging as much as rap wants to make his post count big.


Has anyone faced a similar problem / can troubleshoot this?

(and please geniuses, don't tell me it's because of the windows update... I got that part)

It's because the windows update. XD

Well i am using windows 8 too , after i installed this windows 8 i got many problems with joining the game, so if you problem is that you can't join the game, like i understood ( sorry if i missunderstood ) go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas; find the gta_sa.exe Right Click > Properties > Compatibilty "Run This Program As an administrator" i hope it will help also you can change your compatibility mode > run this program in compatibility mode for; chose windows 7 or something else i hope it will help you;

NOTE:
If i missunderstood your question excuse me.

The problem is that I could run it yesterday, but I can't do it anymore. Actually it runs, as I've noticed now, but it runs really slow, for example, the logos before the game starts (Nvidea, etc...) are like if they were set in slow-mo, It's hard to explain, but they appear slowly, and slowly fade away

Which I will do now....didn't worked

Are objects loading slow?Do you see objects from a distance very opeque,unclear ?
Do you sometimes see no ground ( white ground ) ?

If you experience something of this,a memory fix file might help you,try it

It's something really really strange actually.

I am able to play on singleplayer (and possibly multiplayer), the game loads regularly (quite fast actually), runs smoothly, even managed to do some missions there! Suddenly the game started running really really slow, and I quit it. I tried to enter it again, and it loaded really really slow.

I've tried reinstalling (GTA and SAMP), I am trying to fix my CPU, as I noticed that it gets in overuse for no reason. Strangely, it only happens with GTA, I can run Medieval II Total War and League of Legends without any problems

the only way is to reinstall windows

I sure hope not, as It'll take a shitload of time and effort to get all my stuff back

Did you do the system restore?

Thomas wrote:Did you do the system restore?

Tried to do it to the latest point, and it didn't worked. I then tried to restore it to 2 weeks ago, but it was taking too long, and I decided to try to use windows optimizer.

So far, I'm at step 7, with 70% consolidated..... considering that it did the same for the other 6 steps... I'm screwed

If it works with it, I advice you to download Advanced System Care with Anti-virus, if you have any problems when placing the key just contact me.

If I have to restore my PC to its original status (which will be the last resort... after trying to reset it to 2 weeks ago), I will probabbly use other software to take care.


I've used windows defender for a quick scan, and my PC is clean though

I think the broplem is something on ur laptop, I usually kick it and drop it in a tub full of water, everything's usually normal after that. If not it's ur windows update.

Delete system32

It was because of the windows update. It forced me to run ALL my programs on the background, when I only had a few...

Didn't know much about win8 ;s Hope you get it fixed.
