RyderNibba69 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 First of all, I'm new to this and I hope this is the right place to post this. So, the game has worked perfectly fine on Windows 7 for a couple years now. It's just that a few days ago, the game refused to launch. The first thing I did, I checked if GTA 3 and VC were still working and they did, and after that SA started working again. I decided to reinstall SA, since some mods didn't work properly for me (like some custom models had no textures, no matter what I did, and Tuning mod kept crashing). After that, SA, along with GTA 3, VC and some non-GTA games refused to launch. I tried putting it on the DEP exception list, reinstalling it a couple more times, restarting my PC, deleting the .set file, running it as admin, compatibility modes, but nothing. The game just doesn't even start, not even a black screen. I checked the task manager and the process always gets stuck at roughly around 2680K memory usage and 0 CPU usage. Btw, before that, I've had a weird problem with SA (and the other games mentioned). It would refuse to run if I wasn't connected to the internet. No matter what, if I had no internet connection, the same problem that I'm describing occurs, but now it refuses to run WITH internet connection. Before someone asks, I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my laptop to the internet and that didn't work either. And here are the awful (but certaintly GTA SA capable) specs of my old laptop: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32-bit Intel Celeron 925 @ 2.3GHz 2GB RAM Mobile Intel GMA 4500MHD 128MB Dedicated Memory, 749MB Shared Memory, 877 Total Memory (with PHDGD modded driver, but this never made any problems) My GTA SA right now is clean but it has the 1.0 US Hoodlum crack I'd be grateful if anyone has any idea what is this and how to fix it.

lil weasel Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 So Sad. We do not assist Stolen Games, it is suggested you buy the Real Game. There are too many reasons for a pirated game to not work. (top being the games security might have kicked in.) You could also seek help at the source site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
