ramonthief Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 For some reason, my San Andreas game started to crash whenever I started or loaded a new game, it crashes when it has finished loading the game, so it doesn't crash WHILE its loading. The error tells me that there is something wrong with my vorbis.dll(Ogg vorbis?) or at least, it's causing the crash. I'm almost sure it has something to do with my sound, since whenever I try to enter the audio options menu, it crashes, while entering the controls/video settings works just fine. I have absolutely no idea what to do, I tried downloading some Ogg vorbis codecs, which I have never done before, reinstalling DirectX, installing both newer and older drivers for my soundcard + graphics card. But none seems to work. So to summer up: * Game crashes when it has FINISHED loading a savegame/new game. * Game crashes when I try to enter the Audio options What I have done so far: * Reinstalling DirectX * Trying newer and older drivers for my soundcard * Trying newer and older drivers for my graphics card * Tried downloading Ogg vorbis codecs. Operating System: Windows Vista, the error also occured in Windows XP SP2, so that can't be the problem. Video/Graphics card: XFX nVidia 7950GT(512MB) Processor: AMD X2 3800+(tried to run singlecore and dualcore) RAM: 3GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ring_of_Fire Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 (edited) Insert the GTA San Andreas DVD disc and tell me if it says 3.94GB in "My Computer" for your DVD-ROM (D: E:) drive. If it does, then try to reinstall by selecting "Complete" along with the optional radio stations instead of "Custom". Windows Vista's "Programs and Features" located in the Control Panel should now show that San Andreas is at least 4.68GB in size. http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtop...dpost&p=4537502 Try to disable UAC first things first, and if it crashes again, go into Task Manager and you will see that it still lists "gta_sa.exe". Close it down and relaunch San Andreas. There isn't even a gta.set because I can't create a new savegame So you mean you didn't care to change your graphics settings? Go to "C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files" to see if the [.set] file is there. If not, then it should be in "C:\Users\ramonthief\Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files". Make sure the game is in Windows 98/Me compatibility mode. Edited September 27, 2007 by Ring_of_Fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCHolmes Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 For some reason, my San Andreas game started to crash whenever I started or loaded a new game Have any mods installed? There isn't even a gta.set Search your Computer for 'gta_sa.set'. The error tells me that there is something wrong with my vorbis.dll As suggested by gtamodder, reinstall. Follow this procedure to do a clean install: Uninstall GTA San Andreas Delete the 'gta_sa.set' Delete the program installation folder to ensure that there are no leftover files. Install the game from the DVD. Do a Complete Install (with the Radio Stations) as RoF suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramonthief Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 I've done the reinstall and deleted everything that was left, even went through the computer registry to double check it, but the error still occurs, even after the reinstall.
