By Shadowspike74
this is for players who are having trouble downgrading there copy of the game as we all know the downgrader no longer works with no reason why it shut down but here's another way by clicking this link you will be able to get my custom patch here are the files.

for all downgrader mods
https://test-steamproxy.haloskins.io/app/12120/discussions/0/2262439317607083199/ try this


included
GTA SA version 1, Ginput, widescreen patch, first person, CELO and PS2 sky patch silentpatch and 2 player mode.


not included
speedometer. San Andreas multiplayer. and multi theft auto



after the download is done just put the files in your game and play from there if you don't want first person included then you will have to wait for now until then stay safe.

DEP is for windows games that crash all the time due to compatibility issue's

3 examples of this are
tomb raider legends/anniversary
and
Sonic Heroes.

when you get so far into a game. sometimes it will try and load something. but due to the advancement's of newer versions of window's. the game get's confused. leading to a crash.

you can access the DEP setting's by going into system properties - performance settings - and you'll find the option there. (data execution prevention) make sure to select the second option and then add GTA SA's execrable to the list. a lot of gamer's will tell you to do this as DEP option 1 is nutritious for crashing 32 Bit application's at random or all the time from around 1995-2009. you'll be just fine with windows protection. or whatever you use to protect your PC.

I'm not really planing on updating this guide anytime soon but DEP stands the same to this day depending on the game or application.

Yeah, steam ended support for windows xp and vista, so my options are very limited

some games have different technical issues on VMware
Shadowspike74  [author] 14 Jan, 2021 @ 5:53am 
could be better but i don't know colin mcrae rally 2.0 on vmware windows xp has fits even on full install you could try but i'm not saying it will 100% work
Deep1nsideU 14 Jan, 2021 @ 12:28am 
I may consider using a windows 7 VM for this
Shadowspike74  [author] 13 Jan, 2021 @ 4:39pm 
well you need to downgrade first before you do otherwise it will not work trust me I tried you could use an older version of the downgrader and then install the widescreen patch after its the only way to mod gta sa. version 3.0 and 4.0 on steam are not suported pence why pepole downgrade it check the for all downgraders mod link on top of this page and install manuley after you downgrade
Deep1nsideU 13 Jan, 2021 @ 4:04pm
