[glow=red,2,300][glow=red,2,300]Many people, including myself, have had some lag issues with SA-MP and some still do. This tutorial will show you how to make your SA-MP and GTA SA (SP) run as good as it possibly can, whether you are on an old single-core, dual-core, triple-core, quad-core PC, doesn't matter.
[/glow][/glow]
​


This tutorial will go from easier and less demanding methods to harder and more demanding, but most likely more effective, methods.​


[glow=red,2,300]Causes & Quickfixes.[/glow]
  • Very little space on any of the disk drives - free up some space on all your drives.
  • Bad or old graphics card drivers - update your graphics card drivers (go to RUN, type "dxdiag" to check your specifications).
  • Low memory usage - When you open up SA-MP and go in-game, ALT+TAB out, go to processes using CTRL+ALT+DEL, locate gta_sa.exe and set affinity to ALL cores.
  • Fragmented disk - Go inside your My Computer, right click any of the disk drives and go to Properties, go to Tools tab and click "Defragment Now", click Anylse and then Defragment any of the disks you want, I suggest both.
  • Parked CPU - Follow this tutorial and use this application to Un-Park your CPU on Windows Vista, 7 and 8.



[glow=red,2,300]Game Configuration[/glow]
1. Go inside GTA San Andreas (MP or SP) game.
2. Open Main Menu and Visual Settings.
3. Set Draw Distance to lowest.
4. Go to Advanced settings and set Visual FX Quality to low, Antialiasing to none.
5. Success.

[glow=red,2,300]SA-MP Configuration[/glow]
1. Go to My Documents.
2. Locate GTA San Andreas User Files, inside it find SAMP Folder and SA-MP.cfg.
3. Open SA-MP.cfg and edit line "Multicore" to 1 if it is 0, to 0 if it is currently 1.
4. Success.

[glow=red,2,300]Memory Extent[/glow]
1. Get CLEO 4 using and through this tutorial.
2. Get JernejL's .asi loader.
3. Download MemoryFix.
4. Add StreamIniExtender.cs in CLEO folder inside your GTA San Andreas root folder.
5. Add StreamMemFix.asi in your GTA San Andreas root folder.
6. Success.

[glow=red,2,300]Low-Resolution Effects[/glow]
1.Download LQ Effects.
2. Open the WinRar archive.
3. Go to your GTA San Andreas root folder, models folder inside.
4. Drop all files from the archive inside it.
5. Success.

[glow=red,2,300]New Installation Directory[/glow]
1. Go to GTA San Andreas root folder, uninstall SA-MP using SAMPUninstall executable.
2. Go to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs and uninstall GTA San Andreas.
3. Run your GTA San Andreas installation again and install your GTA San Andreas to another disk drive.
4. Success.

This is not finihed. There are few more things to add. And that is all you can do to make it faster, beside changing PC, Windows or reinstalling the game.

Parked CPU and Streamini CLEO are newest. I am gathering resources at this stage and trying to find fixes for already known causes.

And, thanks, trying to be helpful as always! :)

Look here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistasp/thread/0c438376-1486-4ae4-9847-2de7a8767f27

You can also go to START>RUN type in "services" or "services.msc" and then locate Task Scheduler Service, there you click it and Enable it and also set startup to Automatic. Click Okay, Apply all.

Alternatively you can fix your registry with this:

GTA San Andreas bug.
Change name of the directory of change the compactibility mode to something lower.

You can (try to) fix it by using some of the files here:
http://ugbase.eu/tutorials/(tut)-fix-cleo-crashes!/

Might as well try to delete gta_sa.set in GTA San Andreas User Files located in My Documents.

Before all that, just try to restart your PC. I had the same problem multiple times and any of those would fix it at times.

I came back here to say this:

I had SA-MP FPS problems and high CPU temperature issue... Well, it all head a reason; five days ago I decided to clean up my PC, during the process of putting it all back together I realised that heatsink (passive cooler, with active cooler on CPU) wasn't attached properly - I used a small piece of rope, a toothpick and fit it in perfectly.

So, check that your heatsink on CPU is attached firmly.
Remove the dust, web, dirt.
Reapply CPU paste if necessary.

It increases the CPU demand. Misinformation. Also "breaking"?
