When I enter the server my game minimized

Hi guys.

First of all, if this aint the correct spot, move the post it.

Like the tittle says, when i enter Mike´s server my game minimized. I click in the icon to enter again, it works for 1-2 seconds and minimized again and keeps doing the same thing until i shut down the process. It only happen in this server, i alredy try in others and i dont have any problem.

My game its a clean one, no mods or anything attached. It starts within in the last days, with the last patch.
Sometimes, it let me play after doing click on the icon at the work bar, but its a 1/15 chance.

It makes me impossible to connect to the server.

Any chance you could provide a video?

So, basically I know how to fix these in an other way... If you don't have ANY mods and its still occering, your PC has a virus or a virus type thing. Try creating a new account in your PC and reinstall SAMP there. Try this if this can fix this problem.

Well, i have some updates.

First, i try to record it with a google chrome pluggin and (somehow) when i start recording the screen with it, the game run as normal. But, if i quit the game (with /q) and try to enter again the server, the problem pop up. If i close the recording pluggin and start recording again, from 0, it let me run the game as normal.

I already try this 3-4 times


Second, the video. Its recorded with a phone but u can see what i told you about.
Vanilla game, i didnt download any program or big file in the last weeks-months except from words and excels from collegue´s works.

A similar thing happens to me but the game crashes as soon as it gets minimized. It happens very often and I think the only fix for it is a fresh install. Somehow my gta files get corrupted every week  :-\.

I also have this TYPE of problem and I always use alt+ctrl+del. And I know how to fix this problem cuz I know my PC has some viruses. I need to FORMAT or download Quickheal to remove viruses. Try using some anti-virus software. And if nothing happens then backup your necessary things and format or create a new account on your PC.

If you're able to launch singleplayer with no issues, do so and jump into your video settings and change your resolution to your monitor's native resolution. I know sa-mp does minimize, relaunch if the resolution is at a funky size, it'll try to correct itself. Secondly, launch GTA with compatibility mode (for Windows 8/7) and then if possible delete your configuration for GTA SA. 

That is 100% a problem with your game and not MCNR. You're not even connected to the server at that point, it's just SA-MP loading.

- Delete gta_sa.set
- Reinstall SAMP
- Reinstall GTA
- Reinstall Windows

right click - gtasa.exe
properties
compatibility tab
change high dpi settings
tick "override high dpi scaling behavior"
select "scaling performed by: application"

Yeah, it was my SAMP config.
I change the resolution and it works well, sorry for the inconvenient and a late reply.

Lock the post pls.

Glad the problem is fixed, locking this topic based on request.
