Warnings
- The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.
Key points
- Extensive modding community with thousands of mods available. Although unofficial, online mods have an active estimated monthly playerbase of over 500,000 players.[2]
- Ability to import owned music to create a custom radio station.
- Many visual features are either missing without mods, and exceeding 30 FPS introduces timing issues for gameplay and physics.
- Downgrading is recommended as many community-created fixes and mods have limited or no support for later game versions.

Availability
Source | DRM | Notes | Keys | OS |
---|---|---|---|---|
Retail | SecuROM 7 DRM disc check. Polish copies use StarForce 5 DRM. |
|||
Publisher website | If the Steam version is detected, it can launch the game through Steam instead. | |||
Amazon.com | ||||
Green Man Gaming | ||||
Humble Store | ||||
Microsoft Store | Different port of the game, same as the mobile version. | |||
Steam | DRM-free as the November 7, 2014 patch, despite the system requirements stating the game uses SecuROM DRM.[3][4][5] |
Version differences
- This game has seen multiple revisions since its initial v1.0 release: v1.01 ("No More Hot Coffee" patch), v2.00 ("Second Edition" re-prints), v3.0 (initial Steam version), and "NewSteam r1/2" (latest Steam revisions).[6]
- The Microsoft Store version is a completely different port based on the mobile version of the game.
- The Second Edition re-prints and Rockstar Games Launcher version have anti-modding measures to prevent major modifications to the game.[7][8] See Downgrading to make them mod-friendly.
- The Microsoft Store, Steam and Rockstar Games Launcher versions lack some radio songs that were present in the retail release.[9] To restore them in Steam and Rockstar Games Launcher versions, see Downgrading.
Essential improvements
Downgrading
- Any save game created previously must be converted. See here for instructions.
- Downgrading restores all removed licensed songs from the game for the latest Steam and Rockstar Games Launcher versions, and bypasses modding prevention checks from the Second Edition and Rockstar Games Launcher versions.
- US executable that is provided misses French, German and Italian localization support. Check fix below.
Use San Andreas Downgrader[10] |

ASI loader
- Required for many script-based mods and fixes.
Use Silent's ASI Loader |

SilentPatch
- Limited support for the latest Steam (December 9, 2014 update) and Rockstar Games Launcher versions.
- Fixes many of the bugs introduced in the PC version like bugged sun flare, rotor blades, road reflections and some frame-rate related issues[11]
- Adds new features to the game like FLAC codec support[12]

---|---|---|
OneDrive | Requires enabling backup of the Documents folder in OneDrive on all computers. | |
Steam Cloud |
- Uses Rockstar Social Club's savegame & settings cloud sync function.
Incompatible save game
- Save games created with the v2.0 executable and newer will refuse to load with previous versions
- Saves made with original 1.0 scripts will fail to load when used with Hot Coffee patched ones, and vice versa. This can be fixed by converting them
Convert saves |

Video settings
Widescreen resolution
- Game normally renders stretched images. In-game widescreen option uses correct Aspect Ratio but cuts view (Vert-).
- SilentPatch restores 5:4 and 16:9 resolutions with non-1.01 and non-2.0 versions,[14] albeit far from perfection
How to Install Widescreen Fix[15] |

Input settings
GInput
- v1.0 and an ASI loader are required.
- Adds full XInput and DualShock 3 controller support with relevant controller prompts.
- Restores haptic feedback from console versions.
- Features various tweaks such as controller sensitivity, axis inversion, and controller layout from Grand Theft Auto IV.
Installing GInput[19] |
---|
|
RAW input
Download RInput[citation needed] |
---|
|
Toggle aim down sights
Create AutoHotkey script[citation needed] |
---|
|
Y-Axis Sensitivity Fix
Download |
---|
Y-axis sensitivity is a constant value, while X-axis sensitivity can be adjusted from options. This makes the movement of mouse hard to control, as your mouse won't move vertically the same amount as it does horizontally. This small script re-writes Y-axis sensitivity to same value as X-axis sensitivity to fix this problem.
|
Ginput for Wooting by Silent
Download |
---|
It allows for analog keys to be utilized in Wooting keyboards, but it can also be used to enable use of a gamepad and mouse at the same time. That can come in useful for steam controller users.
|
Audio settings
- Newer versions of the game, such as the current ones on Steam and Rockstar Games Launcher, have had licensed music tracks removed[9]. Downgrade to a previous version to restore them.
- To enable EAX on Vista or newer, see DirectSound hardware path.

Issues unresolved
- Even though practically every major bug has been addressed by mods such as SilentPatch and TTDISA, there's no guarantee you won't encounter some of the rarest ones[22]
- Some save corrupting glitches can be worked around with an online repair tool or a savegame editor[23]
German Steam version doesn't work on OS X
- The German Steam version for OS X doesn't work. Rockstar is investigating this issue.[24]
Issues fixed
- An unlocked or incorrect frame limiter can cause timing related issues.
Relevant issues:
- Game-breaking bugs and glitches
- Some missions such as Amphibious Assault or Driving School missions[25] or Mike Toreno (on entering the airport) are impassable or incredibly difficult
- Some missions show black screen: Cleaning The Hood (after entering Crack Den building) or Cesar Vialpando (after entering to tune shop) or during robbering betting shop (after leaving the place [+ indestructible doors by detonator with unlocked framerate]), and Vertical Bird (after entering the ship; precisely game crashes).
- Physical weirdness
- Vehicles & bicycles handle like brakes are always on, decelerate almost immediately, wobbly rear ends, and seem feathered whenever in-air
- Inability to dive underwater
- Gameplay absurdities
- Crashes when listening to User Radio (fixed in patch 1.01)[29]
- Cutscenes not ending (black screen - described above)[27]
- You cannot zoom in and out the map.
Solutions:
Turn on in-game frame limiter[30] |

|
Use FramerateVigilante project[31] [32] |
---|
The project is currently in beta stage. As for now, it contains:
By limiting the game to 60 FPS (instead of turning off) and using Framerate Vigilante, it's possible to achieve a good playable gameplay. |

Featured mods
- SkyGfx - Brings accurate PS2 and Xbox graphics and effects to the PC version of San Andreas.
- SkyUI - Brings accurate PS2/Xbox-like user interface to the PC version of San Andreas with some additional improvements and widescreen support.
- Project2DFX (SALodLights.asi) - Improves draw distances, asset streaming, and adds distant lights. Fixes certain problems with flickering objects with ENB, but in cost of some performance loss - even very big when using whole map tex mods. In case of infinite level loading, use this .ini
- Remastered GUI Textures - Adds the remastered GUI from the mobile versions. Note: RemasteredGUI attached with at least some versions of Downgrader, can cause black textures of cars bug with ENB. In such case, use only mod downloaded from linked site above.
- ThirteenAG's CLEO Scripts - E.g. quicksave, autosave, walk mod, Radio For All Vehicles, SA.ManualDrivebyRemake, IV Pickups, Buy Back Your Weapons.
- Enterable Hidden Interiors - Allows to enter buildings otherwise confined only in cutscenes or not used.
- First Person Mod
- San Andreas Ambient Sounds - SAAS - This mod does NOT change any in-game sound. It's NOT a replacement for any object's sound (like cars, peds, etc). It only adds "ambience" (AKA background sound).
- San Andreas Cinematic Sound Effects - Standart San Andreas has very low quality illegible sounds. This mod fixes this and created for purely new gameplay experience.
- GPS Mod
- Open Limit Adjuster - Aims to bring back limit adjusters to the scene. Does not aim to be just a limit adjuster, but a limit purger. That's, turning whatever previously was limited into unlimited, being only limited by the machine/application capacity (featured mod attached Downgrader to install optionally). Slight performance impact when using big texture mods and ENB.
- GFXHack - This ASI plugin improves rendering of small objects, as well as necessary for proper operation of chrome plated parts in new models of transport. Works in SA:MP. 2014 version runs smoother and has positive impact on the game performance.
- RenderHook (not ENB) - Implements DirectX 11 rendering API to GTA San Andreas as well as totally new rendering pipeline. Incompatible with SkyGFX. Various based mods can be downloaded here: 1 or 2 or 3 Incompatibilities: SAMP, Skygfx, 13AG's GTASA.WidescreenFix.asi (in others - possible aspect ratio problems), 2DFX and SilentPatch requires appropriate .ini changes; Widescreen mod - changing RenderHook name to _gtaRenderHook.asi). If small window is shown or low resolution with crash while getting to game advanced options, change UseDefaultAdapter="false" in settings.xml. The mod can be used with ReShade in DX10+ mode.
Graphic mods
Complete texture mods
- SRt3 Mipmap - Retextures the entire map. Project goal is to retexture any piece/object of San Andreas by textures of much higher quality. Don't use attached peds pack, if you encounter crashes during missions.
- RoSA Project Reborn - The main objective of the project - to replace all standard textures not just to high-quality HD textures, but also making them very similar to the original textures.
- SAUR — Ultimate Re-Texture - The global re-texture design of the entire state. It includes components with such well-known projects as the SRT 1.7 project and RoSA. Lite (1.77GB) and full version (8.86GB) available. While using ENB, don't use default mip maps from full version - they cause problem of grain on textures. Lite version has x8 mip maps, while full version, even x12, and it provides the best quality. In case of flickering/disapearing textures use attached SE_FixTextures.asi.
- AI Enhanced Textures - This mod has all the original game textures upscaled 4x with artificial intelligence.
Car packs
- 90s Atmosphere Vehicles Pack Reborn 3
- Jericho's Mega Vehicles Pack Download (in case of crash on startup, use additionally gsx.asi)
Utilities
- Improved Vehicle Features (ImVehFt.asi) - Required by some car packs.
- flickr.asi - Mod by 13AG preventing from heavy flicker of textures e.g. while flying. If it causes the game to crash on startup with ENB, launch "!RUN ADMIN FOR ENB 0.313.bat" attached with V Graphics or DirectX 2.0.
- Load Whole Map - It loads all map objects into RAM in cost of some performance loss and stuttering. The whole game map will always be loaded. Fixes problems rendering blank holes instead of textures in distant with 2DFX. The mod can cause crash when using big, RAM consuming tex mods like RoSA Project.
- FPSUnlock - Unlocks default 99 FPS limit in SAMP. Be aware - sirens don't work, and vehicles handle a bit different.
- streammemfix1.0 - Fix for flickering and disapearing textures during driving (e.g. for SAUR tex mod). It also prevents the game from crashing (at least when amount of RAM possible to address by the game is exceeded), since it aggresively cleans RAM during the game. It works as a better equivalent of SE_FixTextures.asi, but streammemfix1.0 is crashless (in case of memory), also unlike streammemfix2.0. It doesn't fix texture pop-up issue while flying. The mod may be incompatible with some of the scripts like III.VC.SA.LimitAdjuster, 13AG Widescreen, 2DFX. Confirmed supported is Wesser Widecreen. For more confirmed scripts see.
- FPS Adjuster (binthesky_by_DK.cs) - It is a CLEO mod which can enhance performance of the game, and also allows changing FPS limit by NUM8 and NUM2, NUM5 in-game. The keys doesn't work with some mods. General troubleshooting
Deprecated
- List of popular mods for reference purposes with additional information and their counterparts. For more tools see
- Memory 2048 - Cleo script that gives the game to use more memory. It is irreplaceable when you install high resolution texture or mods that use lots of memory. Game may also work and load faster. Fixes disappearing and flickering textures issues. Alternative scripts for different memory values - link (memory512.cs may be slower but more stable in case of issues). These memory scripts are no longer needed when streammemfix1.0.asi is being used.
- LodLimit.cs - CLEO mod (may reduce performance).
- yacl.asi - Corona Limit Adjuster
- Multi-sampling Fix - already attached with SilentPatch
- IDE_DD_Tweaker.asi - Can cause the game to crash in the end of game loading with III.VC.SA.LimitAdjuster.asi (Open Limit Adjuster) installed.
- Stream Memory fix (memfix.cs) - useful when you installed too much mods into the game, and it can't load the textures fast enough, and it loads them slowly[48] (positive performance impact).
Total conversions
- GTA Underground - An work-in-progress mod that attempts to bring the GTA III, Vice City, Bully, and Manhunt maps to San Andreas. View video updates here.
- GTA Vice City Stories: PC Edition - A standalone total conversion that attempts to port and remaster GTA: VCS to PC (does not require GTA: SA to play). Contains 13 missions. Save always in different slot after a mission, to avoid being stuck at safehouse. "O Brothel, Where Art Thou?" crashes when you shot enemy or driving them. Shotguns are over powerful. Quad race is dificult to finish due to bad handling.
- Mobile to PC Research Project - A community driven project that aims to port over many of the improvements from the mobile port to the PC version.
- Things to do in San Andreas: Overall Improvements - Total conversion mod that returns cut content from the final game and fixes them (requires new game to be started)

- Tested the new 2019 downgrader on my retail Second Edition copy from the "Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy" collection, Steam, and Rockstar Games Launcher versions and the respective downgraders were able to downgrade them to the v1.0 release.

- ↑ From the Readme, about the frame limiter:
This option allows the game to go faster than 30 [sic] frames per second. Be warned that this will not magically make GRAND THEFT AUTO: San Andreas run better, but rather may make your experience "more variable". We do not recommend un-locking the frame rate. If you have a fast machine, it is far preferable to increase resolution, detail options, anti aliasing, etc. rather than trying to achieve a higher frame rate by un-locking the Frame Limiter. This will lead to a more variable game play experience. - ↑ https://github.com/GTAmodding/FramerateVigilante
