Fuse_Head Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 It seems that if the new sound card drivers (or if no new drivers are available), turning off the hardware acceleration and replacing the eax.dll file with older one won't help, the problem can't be fixed yet.. We'll just have to wait till Rockstar releases patch of some sort. Mine crashes allmost always when entering places/cars when mission is running.

Ed.HuNteR Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 i'm suffering with the same problem, the reboots are totally random, it's very frustrating ! I have tried to remove as many back ground app’s as possible and mess around with the audio and video settings in the game but it still have the same problem. Has anyone been in touch with rockstar games support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 (edited) I had the same problem until I found the stream.ini in the GTA San Andreas directory. There's a setting for the memory and the devkit_memory. I have absolutely no idea what it does but I doubled both numbers (nothing to loose at this moment) and had not have a crash since that. Even the lag is now a little bit better ... at least I can almost enjoy this otherwise great game. This is how my stream.ini now looks like: memory 27000devkit_memory 27000 vehicles 14 pe_lightchangerate 0.0005 pe_lightingbasecap 0.35 pe_lightingbasemult 0.5 pe_leftx 16 pe_topy 16 pe_rightx 16 pe_bottomy 16 dontbuildpaths Maybe someone know what all the numbers mean and I hope this work for other people too. My system specs: P4C 2.8GHz, 1 GB DDR400, X800XTPE, WinXP Pro SP2, Audigy 2, all the latest driver.

simmis Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 Thanks for quick reply, i will try chancing the file... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuse_Head Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I tried that. It still crashed but now the pic didn't stayed it gave me a black screen and all lights of the comp wen't on. HDD-light and DVD-drive light just stayed on and dvd-drive didn't respond when I tried to take the disc out.. Power button worked. So diffrence for me was that instead of jammed pic the screen goes black and before HDD and DVD-lights wen't off, now they lit up when it crashes.. Damn I really hope they get their patch out really soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed.HuNteR Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 i have been doing some digging around and found that if you set your audio to use "no acceleration" via "dxdiag" (start, run, type "dxdiag" & press enter) on the sound1 tab the game seems to run more stable. i have been playing the game for a few hours with out a crach or restart. or failing that if you use the nvidia audio drives you could try installing the realtek audio codec drivers from the realtek web site this helps the game run stable, but so far i have not had to just used the "no acceleration" setting via dxdiag, and with any luck thats all that will be needed to be done.

BigDumbRedneck Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 (edited) The AC97 codecs helped, but rolling sound acceleration back really is doing it...for now. Good luck y'all! BDR nevermind..the game is locking up my system now, no random restarts....and I mean LOCKED!! Edited June 11, 2005 by BigDumbRedneck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmis Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 Turning the sound to no acceleration seems to work, i will keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superlack Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I've tried the "No acceleration" in dxdiag. But in order to have my sub-output working on my motherboard (a7n8x) the nvidia softawre automatically sets it back to full. I guess theres no way around that but I'll turn it off for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werwolf666 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Thanks man I have put to the No Acceleration and it seems that game is working normally now somebody have here a slowdown in Main Menu?? Cause the game is running normally and the menu is so slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmis Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 The bug is fixed! I put the thing in dxdiag to "no accelaration" and BAMM I can play without random restarts. The downpart is that the sound is kinda f*cked up (doohhh, No acceleration) but it beats the hell outa random restarts. Thumbs up for Ed.Hunter for his digging and posting it quick so I (and others) could play this awsome game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
