Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Help with "Failed to start game (app already running)"
I used to play this game just fine for 24 hours of gameplay until I couldn't. I tried to restart Steam, my PC, redownload the game, verify game cache but nothing seems to work.

Well closing steam and starting it up again works for me... Maybe keep pushing, it will work after a few time:b1:.

I had a set-up that included 2 monitors.When I would launch the game it would ask me which video card to use. Now that i only have one, I can't seem to find that window that would ask me which card to use, and so it seems that the game will no longer open for me

i bought this game yesteday but today its not working. "failed to start game, app already running.
Alright everyone! I came up with a solution a few months ago. Sorry I didn't post anything.
What I did was to go to the game folder and make a copy of the gta-sa.exe(or whatever the name of the main exe is), and name it something like "gta-sa2.exe". This new copy of the exe is what you should try to run.
This is clearly a problem of compatibility with Steam, and doing what I did will make the game run outside Steam. Of course there would be no Steam overlay, nor will your gameplay time be tracked, but at least the damn game runs.
