MTA:SA error code

MTA:SA error CC50

MTA could not start Direct3D 9, the graphics layer GTA uses.

How to fix it

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

These are the steps of the guide CC50: Direct3D9 could not initialize.

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.
