samp problem

[Sjomp]

I got a problem with my samp since a few days.
I got a new laptop with windows 8.1
It worked the first few days I had this laptop but now it's fucked up.

So the problem is:
When I click the connect button to start it takes like 2 minutes before it actually goes to the loading screen.
I can do anything I want during this 2 minutes it just doesn't start anything but then after 2 minutes the loading screen pops up and it works fine.
If I start the game on single player it works fine.

I already tried the most standard things like reinstall the game and fresh install of samp.
Deleting the gta san andreas user files thing.
I tried to play with compatibility settings of samp and gta san andreas and that only causes samp crashes.

Does anyone have an idea of something that might work?

What version of samp do you have ? R1 or R2 ?

[Sjomp]

I downloaded the newest versions so R2

[CarlJohnson]

Idk why but R2 seems to be little buggy since even I am facing problems like crashing when using fps increaser etc.

Edit: Just gone through SAMP Forums and found that R2 is a steam version in which instead of adding things they removed them which is resulting in many crashes etc and many other problems.
You can get non- R2 version from here : http://files.sa-mp.com/sa-mp-0.3z-R1-install.exe

[Sjomp]

Thanks but it didn't help

[CarlJohnson]

Have you tried updating your directx version and video card drivers ? If yes, and it doesnt help then try selecting run as admin in both samp and gtasa properties.

[Sjomp]

both doesn't fix it

[Wizzer]

1. Be sure your drivers are up to date,
2. Remove your gtasa.set file from Documents/GTA San Andreas User Files,
3. Download less porn.
Maybe these could help..

when you uninstall samp do you delete the appdata and the registry files that come with it?

%appdata%

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\samp
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAMP
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\samp

I think that's all them

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAMP
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\samp

that didn't work

[Xero]

maybe an update screwed it up, check your update history and uninstall them since the time the problem happened?

have you tried reinstalling to a different directory, like "GTA San Andreas 2"

[Sjomp]

yeah i tried to install it into another map but it didn't work
the weird thing is when it starts normally after 2 minutes it just works fine then

[Emily]

Mine used to do this with numerous mods installed. Instead of starting it would open gta_sa.exe (appears in task manager) and would never start. Had to end task and restart numerous times for it to eventually hit the loading screen.

[Sjomp]

Well mine appears in task manager as a backgroundproces and after that 2 minutes it will go normally and start
And I got a mod free game

have you tried adding SAMP as an exception in your firewall.. I dont know but maybe the firewall is not allowing SAMP to open, but then eventually will. I had to add as an exception to both public and private networks

i just tried that but didn't work
I added exception for san andreas and samp but both didn't help

[Sjomp]

Ok so i tried again
And i found out it does start when i put the compatibility setting of samp to any lower windows like windows 7 or xp it starts direclty but then when the loading bar gets on screen it crashes with next crash:

nevermind looks like the problem solved itself
I did put it back so could start it without the crash and it works normal again
