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 player base of over 500,000 players.[2]
- The PC version features the ability to import owned music to create a custom radio station.
- Many visual features from original PlayStation 2 version of the game are either simplified, missing, or broken in the PC version, and exceeding 30 FPS introduces timing issues for gameplay and physics. There are mods available to restore these features back into the PC version; see this forum thread for details.
- Downgrading is recommended as many community-created fixes and mods have limited or no support for later game versions.

|||
Retail | Included in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy.[3] | |||
Publisher website | Included in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy. Playable without DRM by using SA RGSC Downgrader.[4] | |||

Steam (unavailable) | DRM-free as the November 7, 2014 patch, despite the system requirements stating the game uses SecuROM DRM.[6][7][8] |
- If the Steam version is detected, the Rockstar Launcher can launch the game through Steam instead.
- Given for free to anyone who purchases The Definitive Edition on the Rockstar Store before June 30, 2022.
- Removed from Steam on October 13, 2021
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).[9]
- 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.[10][11] 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.[12] 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 removes 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[4] |
---|
|
ASI Loader
- Required for many script-based mods and fixes. Most mods include their own ASI loader, however, it is important to not overwrite this one as it is more recently updated than ones supplied by some mods.
Use ThirteenAG's Ultimate ASI Loader[13] |
---|
Download Ultimate ASI Loader here, then extract the contents of |
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.[14]
- Adds new features to the game like FLAC codec support.[15]

SA Community Map Fixes
- A collection of various map bugfixes and additional vanilla-friendly improvements. Installation instructions are provided on the Github page.
- Includes mipmapped textures with TXDP generic texture loading, uncompressed map textures from Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Manhunt, and restores vehicles models, ped behavior, and time cycle from the PlayStation 2 version while adding some improvements from the PC and Xbox versions.
Proper Fixes
- Requires Mod Loader and SkyGfx with
buildingPipe=PS2
enabled. - An alternative mod to the above that has almost 1,000 game fixes with roughly 16,000 files changes, while optimizing performance and adding a few extra features from PlayStation, PC, and Xbox versions. In general, it should not cause any performance issues, even on lower end hardware. See the mod page for exhaustive details of its features.
Game data
- Default configuration/saves folder path can be customized.

Vertical sync (Vsync) | Automatically enabled with frame limiter.[19] | ||
60 FPS and 120+ FPS | Capping frames is mandatory to prevent a huge amount of glitches.[20] Proper 30 FPS in-game limiter can be achieved with SilentPatch (25 FPS otherwise).[21] The Framerate Vigilante mod is slowly trying to address this. |
||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. |
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,[22] albeit far from perfection.

Additional information | ||
---|---|---|

Issues unresolved
- Some save corrupting glitches can be worked around with an online repair tool or a savegame editor.[34]
- Even though virtually every major bug has been addressed by mods such as SilentPatch, there's no guarantee that some of the rarest ones will not occur.[35]
German Steam version doesn't work on OS X
- The German Steam version for OS X doesn't work.[36]
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[37] 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 robbery of 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)[41]
- Cutscenes not ending (black screen - described above)[39]
- Weird audio pitching when panning the camera.[42]
- Cannot zoom in and out the map.

Accidental activation of cheat codes
- Unlike III and VC, SA uses a sophisticated hashing mechanism to recognize the input of cheats. Unfortunately, this mechanism is faulty - leading to cheats sometimes being triggered by WASD keys commonly used for movement, among many others. Unwanted activation of cheats can ruin normal gameplay and speedrun experience.[51][52]

- ↑ 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 unlocking 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 gameplay experience. - ↑ https://github.com/GTAmodding/FramerateVigilante

- Tried the wndmode.ini method on Windows 10 while using SilentPatch, which broke SiletPatch's moon phases fix. Only by using ThirteenAG's Windowed Mode plug-in that I was able to play the game in Windowed mode while retaining the moon phases fix from SilehtPatch.
