[SOLVED] GTA:SA mouse not working on Windows 10

[Emma Twatson]

To put this simply: the mouse doesn't work and every solution Google provided me didn't help.

So first of all, is it even possible to make the mouse function properly on Windows 10?

What I have tried to fix my problem:
- Install dinput8.dll
- Run as administrator
- Run in compatibility mode for all possible Windows versions
- Set affinity via task manager to using only one processor (most success so far)
- Disable visual themes via advanced system visual settings menu
- Disable desktop version via advanced system visual settings menu
- Any combination of the above (including all of them together)

It seems like I can make the mouse work for the first screen displayed in the game and once that screen changes (for example by pressing "Resume game" it stop working again.
Most times I start the game, I can click to skip the Rockstar logo spraying and the intro video, however once the menu appears I can only move the mouse and not click.
I can then set the affinity to only use one processor which works temporarily, but then once I start the game (either via load game or new game) the mouse stops working again.
I cannot make the mouse work in-game via this method because if I alt-tab the menu appears in which I have to click the resume game to start playing again, after which the mouse stops working again: no clicking or moving it (looking around).

As far as I can tell, the game shows no other problems: saving, starting missions, cutscenes, starting the game ... all work fine (all tested without a mouse).

I have the regular Steam version of the game and haven't made any changes to the files except installing the dinput8.dll file which can easily be removed.
If my specs are required: I have no clue where I can find them, but if you could tell me where, I have no problem giving them.

Thank you in advance!

Launcher will remove all modified files on next game run or on next laucher run. It always checks all game files even if you turn off autoupdate.

Indeed, support for that version was added just yesterday!

Silent patch fixed the mouse error. But it ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the whole game. vehicles started shaking and motorcycles couldn't turn right and acceleration was limited..
would not recommend. had to reinstall the whole game ......

Go into steam overlay (Alt+tab) and then back to game.
Works great for me.

That's what you get for playing with frame limiter disabled. You should always keep it enabled.

GREAT! Thank you so much! Absolutely fix all my issues. (Frame Limiter -> mouse doesnt work, CTRL+TAB -> makes game crash etc.)

It could be a late comment, but my game started working when I reduced the colour scheme to 8 bit.

Go to the game > right click > Manage > Browse local files > right click gta-sa.exe > properties > compatibility [tab] > tick Reduced color mode > choose 8 bit (256) colours from the dropdown.

Hope that it helps somebody :)

Thanks a lot, fellas!

I was having the same problem, with my mouse-click not working in my GTA San Andreas; Steam Version.

I've since installed Silent's ASI Loader and Silent's Patch, and now it works like a charm!

i have a solution:

- turn on game as admin (steam > steamapps > common > gta sa > gta-sa.exe)
- turn off antialiasing (settings > display settings > advanced >)
- go back to game
- turn antialiasing to 3 (settings > display settings > advanced >)

that is all, enjoy;)

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH. No downloads or anything needed and didn't bug out my game like everything else. Been trying for hours and all other fixes degraded from temporary to nothing over time
