Game Bug Help (steam version)

[RedPenguinGaming]

Whenever I load up San Andreas it works fine until I'm about 10 seconds in and the esc menu comes up. When I exit the menu the mouse does nothing so I can't move. Its been like this ever since I fixed Steam by deleting all of the files in the steam folder and I was told it would not effect any of the games.

Try removing the gta_sa.set file located in the San Andreas User Files folder.

I had a similar issue, and I fixed it by downloading dinput8.dll and placing it in the main directory of San Andreas. Try it out, it should fix the issue.

A similar problem I had: The pause menu would appear for no reason, then I realized the controller cord was tearing. Does your keyboard cord have a tear?

It does but it never does this on other games. Even other GTA's

Did you delete the files or use the game uninstall feature? What was the source site for the game you purchased?

I have all those recommended things and a member of the Steam support staff told me to do it. I deleted all of the files in the Steam folder but not Steamapps he said it will not effect any of my games

Can you tell me if these solutions worked? Are you using any kind of mods or cracks?

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\<username>\

Right click the gta-sa.exe and go into Properties -> Compatibility Tab. Now check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and click Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

Important: Then go look down and check and make sure to turn on: "Disable Visual Themes"; "Disable Desktop Composition" & "Run This Program As An Administrator" - this should be able to fix the bug.

 

Please report if any of these solutions worked. Thank you.
