MTA:SA launcher code

MTA:SA error CL12

MTA cannot find GTA's registry entries, so it does not know where the game is.

How to fix it

  1. Close the launcher

    Close MTA before you repair its installation.

    Source: MTA help

  2. Run the current official installer

    Download MTA from its official site and install the client in the place you want it. Use the installer. Do not import registry files instead.

  3. Start the copy you repaired

    Start MTA from the installation you just repaired. If the warning is still there, tell MTA support the exact message and whether the installer finished.

    Careful: Do not use registry fixes copied from forum cases that are about something else.

These are the steps of the guide CL12: MTA registry entries are missing.

Still not fixed? Copy the whole message, not only the code, and check your log in the Fix tool. It is read on your own computer.

About this code

CL codes come from MTA's launcher, before the game starts: installing an update, finding GTA, loading MTA's own files or starting gta_sa.exe. MTA's own documentation gives CL12 as Registry entries missing.
