GTA San Andreas WILL NOT START on licensed and full versions Windows SE7EN! I changed 8 operating systems to understand what was going on. The game can ONLY be run on stripped down and BROKEN versions: Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Home Premium, and Windows 7 Black Edition. But that’s the problem: you can’t find the “eternal” Windows 7 Black Edition almost anywhere, they all ask for a license every month, and no activators help, Windows automatically reboots every 2 hours, and this crap cannot be removed; The image disappears, it is impossible to install wallpapers...
You can, of course, right-click on the gta_sa.exe file, click "Compatibility" - "Run the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2", but this will not solve the compatibility problem... =(
Guys, I'm not a programmer, let's create or get some kind of patch somewhere to eliminate these stupid troubles and useless garbage on the forum...
Let's throw out ideas, don't be lazy...

IT'S YOU DRIVING THE FUCK HERE!!!
What the hell patch???!!! What is there to patch???
GTASA v1.0 (US), it runs great, and it doesn’t just go, it even flies with a whistle.
Moreover, on litsukha and filibusters Khryu7 and on x86 and x64, etc.
I’m crumpled and everything is perfect.
I wrote above for such clever people that you need to install DX9 on Oink7!!! It’s better to download the latest DXpack from the offsite, it contains everything you need for any game. , you also need to disable User Account Control, etc.
You can also install "vcredist" - Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package. It seems even necessary. Moreover, 2008 and 2010 can also be installed.
(By the way, the DX9 component and vcredist 2005 are already included in third-party assemblies (For example, as you put it “Black Edishany”), but the face is virgin, that’s all, so you need to install these elements yourself, it’s simple.
Another option is that your GTASA distribution is crap, find a normal one that works.
PS: And judging by your descriptions of the problems with Oink7 (where do you find such crooked Oink7!!!??? XD), it seems that you are a hidden genius in computers, and it’s unlikely that you will learn anything at least in computers, since you’re even DX you can’t install it, it’s not recommended to let people like you close to complex digital devices :), it’s better to read a book there, I don’t know, watch a movie and it’s better to forget about computers, why burden the brain for yourself and others :).

1. You’re probably the one spreading useless rubbish here on the forum, but if a duck is itching somewhere, it’s not good sign and it is better to contact a highly qualified dermatologist.
2. ..let's already create or get some patch somewhere...:) Come on... go ahead and create it or get a patch.
3. We throw up ideas, don’t be lazy...
...Let's not be lazy... O_sh WTF??? It seems like you are too lazy to read and figure out what needs to be installed for the games to work properly. Although you write that you changed 8 operating systems This is really wasted work, you shouldn’t have suffered through this crap.

Grand series of games Theft Auto is unique of its kind. GTA: San Andreas was released back in 2005, but is still popular today. More than one generation of gamers has grown up with Rockstar games. But today we will discuss how to solve problems with startup and lags in GTA: SA.

Traditionally, we first look at the minimum system requirements of the game:

  • Windows XP SP1/Vista
  • Intel Pentium 3 with 1 GHz
  • 512 MB RAM
  • 4 GB of free disk space
  • Graphics card with 64 MB

For most, these parameters will only cause laughter, since in modern realities they look very low in comparison with other games. Well, what did you want, after all, the game is from 2005.

Crashes after installing mods

It very rarely happens that after installing one mod, problems and errors begin. Often, players install 10 or even 20 mods at once, among which there are several conflicting ones. What to do in this case? Nothing fancy, you just need to delete everything one by one installed mods until GTA stops crashing. If you have installed too many mods, then it is easier to reinstall San Andreas and install all the add-ons you had one by one.

GTA San Andreas crashes after a few seconds of play

Now we will look at one method that does not help everyone. Judging by the reviews on various forums, we can say that it works for 50% of users. What to do:

  1. Right-click on the game icon
  2. Select “Properties”
  3. Then go to the “Compatibility” tab
  4. Select your OS from the list
  5. Confirm saving the settings

You can also try running the game with DEP enabled for the GTA exe file. How it's done:

  1. Right click on “My Computer” -> “Properties”
  2. Go to the “Advanced system settings” tab
  3. Find the “Performance” section there and click on “Options”
  4. Click on “Data Execution Prevention”
  5. Select “Enable DEP” and specify the path to the exe file with the game

After all the steps have been completed, you will need to restart your computer. This method works for many games, but not always.

The game crashes when I want to change the graphics settings

This rarely happens, mainly on very weak computers. But the solution is very simple. You need to go to the Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\ folder and delete the gta_sa.set file from it. Don't worry, this file stores information about the settings specified in the game and is rewritten every time you make changes to the configuration. The next time you start it, it will simply be generated again and you can change any settings.

Other errors and how to fix them

It happens that SA crashes and the well-known window with the error “Send/Do not send” appears. How to fix this bug: go to the GTA San Andreas User Files folder and delete everything from there except your saves. If it doesn’t work, then update the video card drivers.

Of course, don’t forget to update the .NET Framework (https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/download/details.aspx?id=30653) and Visual C++ Redistributable Packages (https://www.microsoft.com/ en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784). If you have old computer, then you should try updating DirectX to the latest version.

Also, don’t forget to check your version of GTA: San Andreas. There may be newer patches that fix the bugs you have.

I think we have managed to sort out the most common problems of this legendary game. But if you still have questions, then feel free to write them in the comments under this article.

Many players were stunned by the news from Microsoft that a new operating system called Windows 10 will be released in 2015. The question immediately arose whether games that ran on previous OSes would run on it. And who installed this on their PC? operating system However, we encountered a problem with the game GTA 5. Here we will discuss with you what to do if GTA 5 does not start on Windows 10 and other versions of Windows.

There are several options for why this error occurs and their solutions:

The error lies in the files that are installed with the game and have a DLL extension.

Here you will need to find a folder called SteamApps, it is located on the disk where the game is installed and its path (your disk) is \Steam\SteamApps. In it we look for a file called error.log, right-click on it and “Open as...” select notepad. Here is the first reason why the game does not start, look for the line “Application coused...NAME.dll.

It is precisely because of this file that problems arise, but it is not known what this file will be called, since it is different for everyone. To fix this error you will need a program that specifically works with DLLs - DllFilesFixer. Finding it on the Internet is not difficult. How do you download it and, of course, install it, launch it and look for the button “ Install File", after that, in the status bar, look for the same file called error.log, select it and press start. Once the program processes the data and adds the corrected dll file to your GTA 5, you will need to restart the operating system and start the game.

The second option that could cause this error is that the problem lies in SocialClub. Here you don’t have to search for anything on the Internet, and everything can be resolved very quickly. It may be that you don’t have SocialClub at all. To resolve this, go to Steam, in the left column where your games installed on Steam are displayed, find GTA5, right-click, select “Property”.

A window will appear in which you select the “Local Files” tab, then click on the “View Local Files...” button, Explorer will open with the GTA folder, select the “InstallerS” folder, there the SocialClub file click on it. Go through the normal installation process and your game will no longer show this error.

If these options do not help you, then in this case you will have to spend more time solving this problem.

Click on the Start menu, there we look for the (built-in) program “Search for files and programs”, after launching in this line we write msconfig in Latin letters. A window with tabs appears in front of us, we need a tab called “Download”, there we open Additional parameters and check the box opposite the text -> Number of processors, after which it will be possible to select the number, select the maximum number. Save and be sure to restart the operating system.

Sometimes you will have to install additional library packages from Microsoft called SDK. You can either go to the official website and download there or on any mirrors that are on the Internet, but keep in mind that you should only download the latest update.

It happens that you have a laptop with two video cards installed; one will need to be disabled while playing. To do this you need to: go to the device manager, to do this, right-click on “My Computer” and you will find it there. After that, select the “Video adapters” tab, our video cards will appear in it, select the one you want to disable, and at the top there is an “Disable this device” icon

Also check that you are an administrator, then see if you have all the free ones. usb ports– this does not mean a connected mouse and keyboard, but flash drives and game joysticks.

Try updating your video driver, if you don’t know how, then you need to take several steps: go to the manufacturer’s website, there will be brief instructions on how to do this.

Disable all background applications and close all programs. It also doesn’t hurt to try disabling your antivirus while playing.

Error "GTA5 launcher stopped working with the BEX64 event"

To do this, you need to go to the Windows registry. There we go to the search and find this parameter - Applnit DLL, and delete everything that is in this registry, but do not forget to make a backup copy of the files that you will delete. Under no circumstances should Applnit itself be deleted.

Solving the problem with the “err no launcher” error in GTA 5

This error is very common among users, there are a number of possibilities to fix it:

  • You need to find the root folder with the game, where it is located you can find out by right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting “File location”. Next, find the “Update” folder, copy it to the desktop, uninstall GTA 5 and install it again. Again, we find where the root folder is and return the “Update” folder there from the desktop. After launch, the game will download the missing files for it and then launch on Windows;
  • If you downloaded the game from the official Rockstar website, then it was downloaded in chunks of 5 gigabytes, which means that there could be an Internet outage or the files could be damaged. To prevent this from happening again, download the game using the Torrent program;
  • The error may be due to missing or damaged files of libraries such as: Net.Framework, Microsoft Visual C++, then delete them and download them again latest versions and install. It still wouldn't hurt to reinstall DirectX;
  • There are Russian letters in the path to the game, change the folder, and if you have an account in Cyrillic, then either rename it or create a new one without Russian letters;
  • Check if there is a file called 3Dmgame.dll in the game folder, if not, disable the firewall and antivirus, then download this file and place it in its original place in the root folder of the game.

Problems with launching pirate GTA 5 from Mechanics

As a pirate, the problem is almost always the same: you can’t pass SocialClub authorization. Now we’ll discuss how you can bypass authorization and play GTA 5.

To begin with, you don’t need to install, the first step is to go to the “Start” menu, then to “Control Panel” and to “User Accounts”, there is “manage another account”. Create a new account only on the English keyboard and be sure to select it with administrator rights. We go into your account and install the game there. Then you launch the game from the same account and EVERYTHING will work.

To avoid problems and errors in the future, here is a small list of tips on installing the game itself.

  • If you use the Steam version, be sure to run it only as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the shortcut and you will see there;
  • If you have a pirated version (Repack), then the launcher must also be run as administrator;
  • If the game still does not start, then when the Rockstar logo appears, immediately minimize the game and call up the task manager, in it click on the “Processes” tab and look for the process under the name of our game (usually gta_5). Right-click and select “High” in the priority tab.

If our tips didn’t help, then watch the video tutorial on how to launch GTA 5 on your computer.
