How cheap can you pick up SA now?

Borden · 29 Jun 2007 at 15:33

You can get it for £9.99 from a well known online game store. Can also get it from Tesco (they're not competitors right?) for £9.

Hasn't dropped in price much. I got it for £10 nearly a year ago.

We all met up at the top of Chilliad. Yhack was kind enough to take me up in his coach as I blew my humvee up.

There's also a chopper just to the left, slightly out of sight.

I think, one of my favourite screenshots I've ever taken:

Me and the gang drove off of Chilliad and are parachuting down do Earth.

This game is fantastic.

Remember Kids, stay safe, stay visible.

I always have that high visibility jacket on.

You need version 1 of the game, so if you just bought the game then you'll need gta_sa.exe patched to 1.0

Download
http://www.yhack.net/gta_sa.zip

Install
Go to where you installed GTA:SA
Rename gta_sa.exe to backup_gta_sa.exe
Unzip the file you just downloaded
Place gta_sa.exe into the folder where GTA:SA is installed
Run SAMP

so that's the way to mod version 2 back to v.1 to allow the multiplayer to work ? Iv seen some v.1's on ebay that seem overpriced.

Yup.
Just buy one from a shop for about £10 and patch it like I said up there.

Same goes for me, my xfire is 'markwhiten'. I saw Naffa on littlewhitey's server the other day and i remember seeing a few others from here.

BTW, does anybody else have any problems with viewing distance in this? In SP the viewing distances are fine (set to max) but in MP in some places the road doesnt render until i'm nearly ontop of it with the viewing distances also on max :confused:

This looks ace! I have to reinstall GTA on my desktop (dont think it will play on my laptop)

are people still playing this? i may pop to a shop and get it this afternoon. ive got 20 mins to decide

eracer2006 · 30 Jun 2007 at 11:53

wheres the config file for gta:Sa ?

mine will only run in 800x600 widescreen, with anti aliasing off, and looks a bit rubbish

can't you change it in the advanced options? :confused:

when you change aa/resolution settings, you have to click the mouse for it to stick.

if you really are having no joy, try going to \my documents\gta san andreas user files and deleting the file gta_sa.set - that will reset everything and you should be able to try the ingame options again with a clean slate.

eracer2006 · 30 Jun 2007 at 12:51

sorted it

aint had this much fun in ages

Cant work out how to buy guns tho, and lost my helicopter
