San Andreas Multiplayer is **not** a stand-alone program! It adds multiplayer functionality to San Andreas, and thus you need GTA San Andreas for the PC - it also needs to be **EU/US v1.0**, other versions such as v2.0 or Steam and Direct2Drive versions will not work.

### I can not see any servers in SA:MP browser
### I cannot see any servers in SA:MP browser

SA:MP browser does not work. Download the new [open.mp launcher](https://github.com/openmultiplayer/launcher/releases/latest).
If you still cannot see any servers, you must allow open.mp access through your firewall. Unfortunately, due to the large amount of available firewall software, we can not offer further support on this - we suggest looking at the manufacturers website or trying a Google search. Also make sure you have the latest stable open.mp version!

### I get "Unacceptable Nickname" when connecting to a server

Ensure you are not using any disallowed characters in your name (use 0-9, a-z, \[\], (), \$, @, ., \_ and = only), and that your name is no longer than 20 characters. This also could be caused when a player is on a server with the same name as you (which can happen if you reconnect to a server quickkly after timing out or crashing). A Windows server running SA:MP with an uptime greater than 50 days can sometimes cause this bug.

### Screen sticks at "Connecting to IP:Port..."

The server could be offline, or if you can't connect to any server, disable your firewall and see if it works. If it does, you will need to reconfigure your firwall. It could also be that you are running an outdated version of SA:MP - you can find new versions [here](https://sa-mp.mp/downloads/).

If you have 2 monitors then there are 3 ways to solve this:

1. Disable your 2dr monitor when you play sa-mp. (Maybe not so smart if you like to have the monitor on.)
1. Disable your 2nd monitor when you play sa-mp. (Maybe not so smart if you like to have the monitor on.)
2. Set your Visual FX quality to low. (Esc > Options > Display Setup > Advanced)
3. Rename your GTA San Andreas folder (e.g. to "GTA San Andreas2") (This often works, however sometimes it may stop working again so you need to rename it to something else.)

### My mouse doesn't work after exiting the pause menu

If your mouse seems to be frozen ingame while it (partially) works in the pause menu, then you should disable the multicore option [sa-mp.cfg](ClientCommands#file-sa-mpcfg "Sa-mp.cfg") (set it to 0). Continuously tapping Escape until the mouse responds again may also work, but it is not as neat a solution.

### The file dinput8.dll is missing

This is possibly arises when DirectX is not properly installed, try re-installing it - don't forget to restart your PC. If the problem still arises, just go at C:\\Windows\\System32 and copy paste the dinput.dll file to the root directory of your GTA San Andreas. That would solve it.
