Multi Theft Auto: Help

Could Not Start GTA:SA

  1. Try running MTA with the Administrator account.
    Your current account may be restricted from launching the game.

  2. Your anti-virus software is blocking the game executable.

    You have to add the following executable to the exceptions list of your anti-virus software:

    C:\ProgramData\MTA San Andreas All\1.6\GTA San Andreas\gta_sa.exe

    Replace 1.6 with the version of MTA that you’re trying to launch, in case this guide becomes outdated at some point.

  3. Try to run Multi Theft Auto again.
