Masterofmayhem Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) Hi. I'm new here as I just started modding my SA and found it increasingly fun. Ran into some problems which I could fix on my own, but this one eludes me. I try to do the Drive Thru mission, the first cutscene works with no problem. Then when I drive to the Cluckin' Bell waypoint, I know there should be a cutscene where a ballas car comes around or something similar. But after the screen fades to black, the game just stop, or loops the black. I can't go to the options nor pause the game. When I hit Ctrl+Alt+Del to see my running programs, my XP tells me that SA is running normally. So what gives? I have installed a whitening mod, a load of car replacements (which seem to work just fine) and a gunmod. I am sure it has nothing to do with computer power either. I am sure there is an older thread with this, but I looked through some 15 pages of topics and found nothing so I am hoping this would be the faster way to find a solution. PS. The mods have also made all cutscene fade out/fade ins slower including loading shops etc. Could this have some connection?

Gerard Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 The usual problem is one of your mods not being installed correctly. The game works fine, but when it tries to load the broken car, it crashes. You need to go through your GTA3.img file and make sure there is both a TXD and DFF for every car you have replaced. If one is missing, that is your problem. If that is all fine, check the handling and carcols and everything. If all that doesn't work, and everything seems fine, try restoring the backups that you SHOULD have made when you were modding the game. If you didn't make any backups, then you'll end up having to reinstall the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterofmayhem Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Thanks for the guidance. Though I think the fastest way to test the cars would be to spawn them ingame. Is there some way to spawn any car into the game? I tried some trainer, but it seemed to always spawn a cement truck no matter what cheat I tried to use with it. So is there some trainer to let me spawn any and all cars ingame? Or is this a good way to test them anyway? PS. Until this issue, all the faulty cars made the "load game" load stop and cause an error halfway as with so many other modders. I have installed all mods through SAMI, so would that program detect errors? It has detected some anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiiBz Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 When you hit ctrl,alt,delete and the task manager comes up saying the game is running, re-enter the game and it should be the pause menu.Then you should be able to play again....This is what happens to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterofmayhem Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Nope, tried that trick and it just returns to a black screen. Still has the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
