Hello tech guys,
I was at my friends home because I want to play computer games, I choose to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, when I am about to start the game, the game did not start, instead of starting an error message appeared that it could not start the game.
Error:
Could not start Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Please try restarting, or if the problems persist, contact MTA at www.multitheftauto.com
On my frustration of the game, restarted the computer, when windows started, I tried to play again, same thing happens, the game won't load, and displaying the same annoying error message, I scan my computer for any virus that might infect the game application, but no virus was found, please help me find a solution to my problem, thanks you.
Could not start Grand Theft Auto
Lukegams,
It seems that the version of GTA is no longer supported by older versions. The game seems to be linked to the Internet and it's pretty much telling you to download the newer version of the game. My suggestion is to install that new download and run it. It seems to be the only option you have.
Actually a lot of games do that now, they are usually updated from the Internet to check for validity.
Options 1:
Try disconnecting the internet before the game starts.
Option 2:
Disable internet connection to the game via your Firewall.
This is the most common option because any outgoing and incoming connections to the game will be stopped.
Enjoy
