GTA San Andreas Crash issue

Hi wakefieldkidz


Have you tried lowering your screen resolution to see if the game launches?

How much free space do you have on the drive?

Do you have it on C:\ or another drive?

Could you confirm if this also happens in the default Administrator account?

Open Start
Type: cmd
Right click CMD
Click Run as administrator

At the command prompt, type:
net user administrator/active:yes

Hit Enter

Close command prompt, restart, then try signing into the Administrator account.

Do you have the latest cumulative updates for Windows 10 1809 installed?

Open Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features
Scroll down to GTA San Andreas
Select it
Click Advanced options
Click Reset

Restart

Check the Store for updates

Ok Thank you so much it looks like i needed to lower my resolution from 1920x1080 to 1280x960 and it worked just fine!

You are welcome wakefieldkidz. If the problem is resolved, you can provide a rating and enjoy the rest of your week.

GTA-San Andreas at the MS Store ? How did you manage to find that ?

The game does not scale well to full wide screen anyway. Forcing full wide screen resolutions stretches everything sideways.

I have used 1680x1050 x32 in the past, which looks pretty good. I'm currently using 1600x1200 x32 (w/ a 2560x1440 monitor).

Also set your graphics card to maintain Aspect Ratio to be sure the game does not get forced to wide screen mode. Unless of course

you hate black bars on the sides so much you would rather see everything stretched.

(Nvidia Control Panel >Display > Adjust Desktop Size and Position > Scaling tab. Also set Perform Scaling On to - gpu .

I leave the Override scaling mode... option off. )

"NVIDIA 5010"

Typo ? Nvidia GTX 1050, yes ? You should have no problems running the game at a higher resolution.

Unless of course MS have managed to stuff the game up, as they do.
