MTA:SA error code
MTA:SA error CC50
MTA could not start Direct3D 9, the graphics layer GTA uses.
How to fix it
Install Microsoft’s older DirectX components
Close MTA and run Microsoft’s DirectX End-User Runtime installer, then try again. CC50 means Direct3D9 failed to start. This step does not show that a part of Windows is damaged.
Choose a standard resolution in GTA
Only if you recently forced a custom resolution or changed screens, or the current resolution is not supported.
Open GTA single player and choose a standard resolution that your screen supports. Exit GTA the normal way before you start MTA.

Update your graphics driver
If it still fails, use the driver support of your laptop maker or graphics card maker for your exact model. Test again after that change. On a laptop that shows an Optimus warning, use the Optimus guide instead.
Careful: Do not use a driver updater program that does not come from the maker of your laptop or graphics card.

About this code
MTA's own client shows a CC code when something fails before or during a connection: the address, the nickname, a module it could not load, or the connection itself. MTA's own documentation gives CC50 as Direct3D9 initialization failure.
