Can't see HP/Armor Bars

[###]

I posted this a loooong time ago, and I never got the answer for it - but I can't see HP or armor bars ontop of peoples' heads.



I don't know if this helps - but I have the Steam version of San Andreas.
And before this is an "answer" - no I do not have any mods that would have an effect on this as I have never been able to see them since I started playing SAMP.

How do I get it so that they can appear?

Try reinstalling it, or best solution download illegal gta :D you will be able to see everything + you will be able to install mods as much as you want

I've uninstalled for SAMP + San Andreas 50+ times.
I am looking for a way that doesn't involve the illegal GTA (if there is).

I googled it,
1.try installing gta in another directory,
2.update DirectX to higher or equal to 9,
3.Update video card,
4.Make sure that 'd3d9.dll' is not in root directory of GTA San Andreas try this too.
5.Try disabling and enabling health bar in Options.
6.Or try to use another resolution.
7.Go into the GTA escape menu and check if the HUD is enabled.(Make sure you have HUD: blips & Map in Your Options Settings )


8.Compatibility tab for windows 8 (google search or youtube it)
open gta_sa.exe properties
compatibility
tick "disable desktop themes"
tick "disable desktop composition"
tick "run as administrator"
apply
ok

9.Try reinstalling windows
10.You are maybe missing some files.

And tell me please your windows version sometimes on windows 8,-8,1

Just reinstall your game.

Are you using a hud mod? it doesn't shows health & armor bars mostly.

It didn't work before I had HUD mods

Just reinstall your game.

Like I said, I've reinstalled it multiple times.

Are you reinstalling the game in same folder again and again? if yes then try to install it in a different folder.

### I told you 10 options.
Btw tell me your windows version

I am torrenting it - I will tell you if it works on there.
I am the most current windows (8.1 or whatever)

So I tried

• uninstalling it
• reinstalling it in a different folder
• disabling all of my mods/deleting them
• video card is up to date
• d3d9 is not in my directory
• DirectX is over 9

I had the same problem, I upgraded my PC with a few drivers and it when I logged in game, I got the same problem, no hp/armor bars. I had to re-install windows because of some other shit ( not because of samp ), and it appeared somehow lol. You'll have to downgrade your PC, like removing a few drivers which I don't recommend you, also I heard windows 8 is having that problem, so I suggest you to try with google or ask someone who has windows 8.

Could be a problem with an old mod so delete you virtual store located at C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\
This works for me when old mods seem to show up after uninstalling.

Well now..

Problem is windows 8.1 becuase when I checked other threads about this they said it's because of windows version install other version or try this,right click on gta.exe>properties>Compatibility>Than run this program in compatibility mode for windows 98 or try everything :D

[Dirk]

The illegal copy of GTA SA is a clone of the disk version without working radios which can be fixed in one download; so i'd suggest that. I doubt it's anything to do with being Windows 8.1 as I used to run from that.

Legit answer. Try that ^

Pending player 24 hours.

I belive that the problem is you having a windows 8 (Am I right you do?)
Anyway, you should try downgrading it to a windows 7 I suggest, because I do not know anything else that could have help you
