Basically, you either don't have an installed game in the directory you chose, you didn't choose a directory, or you chose the wrong one (basically like the first ) But yeah, that's what you did wrong... Did you modify the installation path at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
they_SA_im_mad Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Alright, due to the overwhelming amount of topics about this and persuasion from Heavenly Blade, I have decided to make sure that everyone who wants to mod San Andreas has the ability to do so.Download Clicking that direct download link will initiate the patch process. Simply download and run the patch, and follow the instructions. But be warned!! The GTA Place is not responsible if this fucks up your game/computer. i tried that on windows vista but it said that it couldnt play cuz it wanted an update what shall i do?

MrLlamaLlama Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 At the startup screen, in the bottom right hand corner, there will be some text saying 'V2.0' if you have V2, but if you don't, the chances are it's V1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolidge Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 recently bought SA off direct2drive to play the MP mod, since I couldn't find a copy of the game for PC in any store near where I live. The site has you download the game already patched to the newest version, which is 3.0 apparently (or at least that's what it says in the corner of the menu when I boot up the game). The downgrader doesn't seem to work on this version, I got the error "gta_sa.exe: unknown verision" when I tried to run it. Anyone know if there's a fix to this out there, or some way to work around it? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do_Not_Fear_cause_I'm_here Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I just got the downgrader and game works fine, except that the 100% savegames doesnt work anymore. Is this a known problem or is it just me ?? Dude, can you give me the directions on how to download the downgrader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do_Not_Fear_cause_I'm_here Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 How can I run the gtasa.exe? Do I just double click it? I just got the downgrader and game works fine, except that the 100% savegames doesnt work anymore. Is this a known problem or is it just me ?? Dude, can you give me the directions on how to download the downgrader? Dude, since your 100% game file cannot work, you probably might wanna start a new game cause you can't use V2.0 game save files anymore. Get it? I hope you do...

Mr_Smit Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I downloaded the downgrader, and it works fine, can start a new game and stuff. But if I save the v1 game, I cant load it? I tried also 100% v1 savegames, but I cant load anything. When I reinstall SA, it works fine again, except I got v2 again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celidor Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) I dunno, myself, I don't think any large GTA communities (such as us here at TGTAP) should be give links to or promoting the use of the downgrader. It may be useful to some, yes, but I think it shows disrespect to Rockstar Games myself. What I think is disrespectful is that they tried to take away mods from thousands of people who bought GTA SA expecting the regular game. The only reason they even made the version 2 was because they got bad press from the Hot Coffee thing. Downgrading so you can have more fun with the game is not disrespectful. You did give them your money for the game. P.S. If the downgrader isn't working try it on a freshly installed san andreas. If you have mods you wanna save just back them up before-hand.
