    RE: GTA:San Andreas on Vista

    I can start the game fine, but it lags so bad! When i was on xp a couple of
    days ago it played fine, now i get like 5-10 fps in my house where i spawn.

    All other games work fine, i want a fix!

    I had the exact same problem. So, I found a "crack" and it worked. So, that
    ruled out any driver issues. I've since removed the crack because even though
    I have a legal copy of the game, I'm sure I'm in violation of some sort of
    agreement due to "modifying" the code.

    I just hope Rockstar or Microsoft come out with some compatibility patch for
    it because it's ridiculous that I can't play a game that I legally own.

    This and Splinter Cell Double Agent are the only two games so far that have
    given me fits. Double Agent works at times and others it doesn't.

    Frustrating, but that's to be expected with a new OS. I'm sure in time,
    things will get ironed out. I just hope the software companies are aware of
    it.

    BTW, the crack removes the CD check and that proves to me that there is an
    issue with the copy protection within San Andreas.

    Again, I hope they fix this. I don't trust cracks (who knows what they
    screwed up) and I scanned the snot out of it before I installed it to ensure
    there were no trojans or viruses, but you can't always catch them.

    Vista seems to have a little more problems with some of the copy
    protections, then XP did. I'm sure it's part of the added security, it just
    seems to work against the user.

    Supreme commander, which is actually a Games for windows game and was
    suppose to have Vista support had this issue. In this case, it was on both
    Vista and XP. My hats off to Gas powered games and THQ, because on their 2nd
    patch, they removed the CD check. Not bad for a game only a month old.

    I don't encourage piracy, but if a CD\DVD check stops a game from working,
    then I have no problems using a CD\DVD crack. I don't think anyone is going
    to come knocking on your door, espeically, if you can provide the actual
    game.

    RE: gta san andreas

    My problem is that about 1 in 10 times going to the game menu freezes the
    game with a blank screen while the music keeps playing. Luckily
    ctrl+alt+delete lets me get back to Vista at least. Frequently the mouse
    stops responding too, in the menu, and leaving the menu. Usually going to
    the menu and back to the game fixes the mouse, but it usually ends up just
    freezing the game anyway :/

    I've tried it both cracked and uncracked, and by installing Take Two's "no
    more hot coffee" patch (which also fixes a bunch of miscellaneous bugs),
    different video drivers (PowerColor X800) ... nothing seems to help.

    RE: gta san andreas

    That's exactly the problem I've been having with the game. While scouring
    for answers, someone suggested that it worked when they installed it in a
    different path. They said change the install path to
    C:\Users\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas
    so the final path would be
    C:\Users\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\GTA San Andreas

    That's what I did, and it has seemed to help a little bit.

    Hey sorry to bump an old thread here. But i've been having some major
    problems with my GTA SA.

    I keep getting an error report such as follows:

    problem event name: apphangb1
    application name: gta_sa.exe
    application version: 0.0.0.0
    application timestamp: 42f3544b
    hang signature: 7bd3
    hang type: 2048
    os version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.2
    locale id: 2057
    additional hang signature 1: f32a2987403a9d060118db0daf9809cf
    additional hang signature 2: 4b7c
    additional hang signature 3: 2595c41f7be721c48e3f6f5f52e34356
    additional hang signature 4: 7bd3
    additional hang signature 5: f32a2987403a9d060118db0daf9809cf
    additional hang signature 6: 4b7c
    additional hang signature 7: 2595c41f7be721c48e3f6f5f52e34356

    sorry to ask this here. but i was wondering has anyone had a similar
    problem? should i search for a crack? the game usually just freezes when
    i click start and its getting mightily annoying!

    thanks in advance for any help.

    Exactly the same happens to me. When you start the game up it loads fine but when the main menu appears loads of numbers flash up in the top right corner and the screen flashes. If somebody finds out what the problem is and the cure please can you drop me an email or quote this message and i shall do the same if i find it first. Thanks
