[ANSWERED] I can't connect, I don't know why.

[Randall]

When we presses the "connect" on samp software, it will be going to load to connect the game. But the problem is, the loading has stopped. I don't know why, it's stocking all the time. Please help me to fix this problem.

[Yuri Zakhaev]

Hmmm, sounds like you're running gta sa/ samp in some shitty compability mode.
Run both gta sa and samp as administrator mode + WITHOUT any compabillity mode

EDIT:
Do you mean samp just closes after you try to connect to a server?
Or your game stops responding/ freezes?
Any crash?

[Eduardo]

Try to delete all your mods. (mods for guns/radar/cars/bikes/graphics)

[Aleya BANNED]

Please post a screenshot so we know when it stops from loading for you.

[Randall]

Please post a screenshot so we know when it stops from loading for you.

I can't take a screenshots since it hangs when it loads, all stocked up. I'm gonna try to re-install it all.

[Peterson]

When you join the game, GTA starts to load and you get a crash? Or when it done loading and you get crash?

[TBA]

Restart PC , and if it not work take picture with Print Scren and post here.

[Randall]

I don't get crash, my main problem is if you started to join the game(SAMP), it loads, right? After of some loading, it stops. So I have to force restart my laptop to get back and do the same process, but it is still. So I have no way to connect into the game. I re-installed my GTA SA & SAMP but there's nothing happened. I also removed those weapon mod pack I added after Makke gave it to me(After putting this mod pack, the problem started). I hope someone get my point and help me with this weird problem. :/

You added the mods to your custom.img file or to your gta3.img file?

I think the second one, because I am using spark and its needed to open file the "gta3.img", if I'm not wrong.

[MichaelCastellano]

Try to re-install the GTA.

Mods problem.

[Randall]

Mods problem.

I re-installed it already, same with the SAMP. But still having the problem.

[Yuri Zakhaev]

Delete your gta_sa.set which is at My documents --> gta sa user files. After you delete it, open gta sa single player just to get your new gta_sa.set file, then try to connect to samp


Run gta sa and samp in administrator mode and WITHOUT compability mode, sometimes using a compability mode might cause that


And if nothing of that fixed your problem then it's obviously that you have interrupted hidden files of GTA

C:\Users\ Your user \AppData\ Local\ VirtualStore\ Program Files\ Rockstar Games\ GTA San Andreas <---- Delete any file you see in the folder of GTa san andreas there
BTW to access the " hidden files of GTA " you have first to enable " show hidden folders " on your PC, if you dont know how to do that just google it

[Randall]

Use Printscreen
Ctrl + V in Photoshop or paint and show us Screenshot.

As what I've said earlier, I can't take any screenshot since it hangs all the time when the load stops.

@Vlatko, will do that all, thank you.

[Randall]

Just a question.. Are you able to Play single player?
(Not sure if you posted above)

I can't, same with the SAMP. I tried to play single player and its still the same with the "loading problem" of connecting in SAMP. I forgot to put it above, my bad.

[Yuri Zakhaev]

Did you try what I said, about the interrupted hidden files of your gta?
Im sure that there's some interrupted file ( custom/ gta3.img/ hud.txd / particle.txd etc etc ) which causes your problem, so try that

[Daci]

Can you try to run gta_sa.exe and samp.exe as an administrator ?

[Randall]

I tried the first two options but it doesn't work. I want to try the third but can you make it more understandable? Sorry, I'm already too tired to understand it easily.

@Trapy, I already did that but it doesn't work too.

I think the second one, because I am using spark and its needed to open file the "gta3.img", if I'm not wrong.

Try to find a new gta3.img file, without moding, i mean with the whole files but a clean one, and then re-place it to your Gta folder/models
