SAMP servers won't start.

[Vinny Meadows]

Alright so I re-installed GTA SA from steam, I can play singleplayer perfectly but the thing is my Program Files 86x>Rockstar Games>GTA SA>Empty.
There's nothing in it.
I deleted everything in my GTA SA folder because I was going to re-install it from steam, but now there isn't anything in that folder but I can play GTA SA.. The hell?

[John Wahl]

I had this issue, it all got moved and you can find it via Start > Search and then for some gta stuff.

The issue is unknown why it moved, but a simple reinstall will fix it. I assume you're using a legal version of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas so it shouldn't be an issue.

[Agent Cole Phelps]

Okay now this is what you need to do:
(I have steam version too)


Go download SAMP as normally as you would(Don't download a steam version of it, just download a normal one)
After it's downloading and installed SAMP, click this link > HERE < to get a fixed version of GTA_SA.exe so you can play.


After it's down downloading, just unzip it and move all three files to the GTA SA folder.

[Vinny Meadows]

Okay, singleplayer works fine, but for some reason when I launch a SAMP server, it starts running the singleplayer mode instead of multiplayer.. Help..

[Vinny Meadows]

Alright what the hell is this, getting me mad .
So, I fixed that problem above^
(I changed compatibility and made it run as admin)
but now when the SAMP bar loads up, finishes, it crashes.

[Agent Cole Phelps]

do you have any mods or did you download the zip like I told you to do?

[Vinny Meadows]

Oh I didn't see that, let me download that zip.
One sec.

Try renaming your gta directory to Gta Directory 2 then move it to the recycle bin and then restore to original point then try it
that worked for me

Gimme something to do yo, im gonna try what Mal said but yeah..

[Vinny Meadows]

that worked for me

GTA SA Directory=GTA SA folder? Or Rockstar Games folder??

[Malachi]

Click rockstar games - Gta Sanandreas - Rename it to Gta Sanandreas 2

[Hyder]

Install the game in new folder, might work.
And did you try my first solution?

[Bob]

If you had mods, after re-installing the mods wouldn't be installed anymore.
If it's a re-installed version it should work, if not it's not any game issues, it's your drivers.
Check for updates, maybe check your graphics card settings etc.
Maybe even Right click on SAMP and 'Run as administrator', could help.

[Agent Cole Phelps]

Pending player.

[Vinny Meadows]

Okay, someone check those SS's I provided above and tell me if I have mods or if that is normal cos I'm so shit with these types of things.
Also, Justin your solution didn't work and Hyder that didn't work either.
I've tried running as admin but it won't work, I don't know why.
But when I run a samp server, GTA SA Singleplayer starts launching and shit. Not SAMP.
Solutions?
