SA Classic Basketball, Gym & Pool Bugs/Glitches

[Luke2004]

The glitches of:

 

Most glitches are posted below but here's a few that i don't think are.

 

Change the camera view whilst using 'Full Weapon aiming while driving' cheat.

All you need to do is, make sure you're using flying cars, if you're not this will be useless and you'll bail out of your car.

Right what you need to do is:

Step 1. Enter 'Full Weapon aiming while driving'

Step 2. Enter 'Flying Cars'

Step 3. Fly in the sky.

Step 4. Now here is the strange part, what you do is, fly in the air (high enough) and enter the jetpack cheat. Now you can change your camera view. If you want to get back to the aiming screen just press you won't fall out (or at least you shouldn't, i didn't) but you'll get back to your aiming screen.

THIS ONLY WORKS WHEN FLYING.

 

Submarine.

Well it's sort of a sub anyway. Uses 2 cheats.

Step 1. Enter 'Never run out of oxygen' Cheat.

Step 2. Enter the flying cars cheat (this may seem very strange but just keep with it)

Step 3. You can now fly around if you wish or not just drive into water, you can drive in the water. IT'S VERY SLOW THOUGH.

 

Ways of fixing the gym glitch. (NOTE: I've not tried this yet so it's unconfirmed.)

1. Go to the nearest Safe House and save the game 6 times (thus skipping some days)

2. Go to the nearest Fast Food Restaurant and eat as much as possible

- get CJ quite fat

3. Completely change CJ's appearance - clothes, haircut, and tattoos.

 

Ways of getting above max height. (2)

This involves cheats.

Way 1:

Quad - Cars float when hit - parachute

First of all get a quad bike.

Then put on Cars float when hit.

Then go to where the import export is.

Go to where the landtrain trailer is. GET SOME SPEED UP, crash into it, and if you do it properly you'll land on the back (where the gap is) of the trailer.

Now you'll go really high.

To see how high you are put on the parachute cheat.

Way 2:

put on 'cars float when hit' cheat

Spawn 2 quads

hit one quad with the other

and jetpack onto the other

now you can go has high as you want to.

 

'Peds View'

first get a gang member so he can take a pic. then go close to a place where you can pic up a camera.(san ferrio is easier)

 

now get your gang member to hold the camera. when he does go pick up the camera your standing next to. you will be stuck in camera mode.

 

you can run anywheres and the view will stay at the same spot

peds magicly appear in front of your gang member, and hell i was out of sight and hit my gang member with the m16.

to get out of it kill him or go inside a building. cars dont work, but its fun to watch yourself driving from a peds point of view.

 

 

PREVENTING the gym bug:

the gym bug is a bug that causes CJ to never be able to work out... ever.

 

meaning he can NEVER regain his muscle... EVER.

 

Although there is no cure for it, it can be PREVENTED, which is why I have posted this... for all new readers and new players to the game who still might not have it.

 

 

Here are some do and don'ts

 

-Feed him twice every in-game day (24 minutes)

-Feed him twice before saving

-Never save without eating because your hurt

-Never save without eating because of gang territories

-Never save without eating 2 meals, PERIOD.

-Never save at Madd Doggs (just buy the mansion across the street

 

Weird Multi-Player Glitch (unconfirmed.)

When activating the two player mode, Player 1 get in the car and run Player 2 over, get out of your car and kiss Player 2 the car will go flying for miles.

Credit goes to starion.

 

Freeze Your Game

This glitch is easy to do!!!

- Place the jetpack near a basketball.

- Start the basketball game.

- While dribbling walk to the jetpack.

- CJ will be using the jetpack while dribbling and the game will FREEZE!!!

Although I think this is pointless, and shouldn't really be posted it's fun to do to trick your mates, if you down at their house.

 

Cinematic View

Buy an airplane ticket at an airport, book a flight and when the airplane is flying just do the cheat Destroy All Vehicles ( R2 L2 R1 L1 L2 R2 square triangle circle triangle L2 L1 ) and when u spawn at the hospital it will be in cinematic view (very clearer though).

Edited May 11, 2005 by Luke2004

[SuGGaK]

Here are some glitches that have been confirmed by Take2 support to myself (they stated that they are working on a solution to the problem).

I have the gym and basketball glitches and over the last week or so have been trying out things to solve these problems as have many others.

These are descriptions of the three problems, and I will update this post with solutions as they become available, so this is from a variety of sources so sorry if I don't give credit all the time.

 

Please note, although you may currently not have the glitch, they DO exist, and they tend to happen very LATE GAME, so you may too incur these problems, the Pool glitch though, is easier to avoid, just DO NOT attack people INSIDE buildings, just to be safe.

 

Also note that currently the SUGGESTED solutions posted here are NOT 100% working solutions, they are just the most successful solutions out there at the the moment.

 

The Pool Glitch

 

This glitch is when people can no longer play pool, due to people inside bars acting as if you are attacking the bar (the bartender for some reason will be loaded holding her hands in the air as if you are pointing a gun at her and the people in the bar will be in the foetal position). The guy you play pool with, will NOT respond to you pressing the button.

 

Cause: attacking people in the bars many times

Suggest Solutions: to change appearence ENTIRELY or gamble at Four Dragon's Casino

 

Pool Glitch Solution: Changing Appearence Entirely

 

Firstly REMOVE ALL tattoos at a tattoo parlor.

Then change your hairstyle at a barber's.

Then Buy a WHOLE set of clothing in a shop, according to someone on these forums you HAVE to BUY the following (not change in your wardrobe, if you have bought all clothes, you can still buy them again):

A new torso clothing

A new leg clothing - you NEED to get a new set of BOXERS from BINCO as well

A new pair of shoes

A new hat

A new set of shades

A new chain

A new watch

 

Second Pool Glitch Solution: Gambling at Four Dragon's Casino

 

Go to the Four Dragon's Casino

Gamble on each game available, especially Blackjack

Save outside the Casino

Drive to a bar and the pool game should now work

 

This method has been suggested many times and Dead At 4pm gave a more detailed way of doing this so I posted it here.

 

The Basketball Glitch:

 

A lot of people have discovered that basketballs NEVER appear on ANY courts in their game anymore.

 

Cause: Saving at Madd Dogg's Mansion

Solution:

1. Go to the nearest Safe House and save the game 6 times (thus skipping some days)

2. Go to the nearest Fast Food Restaurant and eat as much as possible

- get CJ quite fat

3. Completely change CJ's appearance - clothes, haircut, and tattoos.

 

It has been suggest that driving certain vehicles near a basketball court can cause a problem, but in the case of this glitch, that is NOT the problem (I just spent a morning trying loads of different vehicles).

 

The Gym Glitch

 

Many people have found that when going to visit a gym and trying to use equipment they constantly recieve this message:

"You have worked out enough for today, please come back tomorrow!"

 

Cause: Unknown/first variant of the glitch thought to be caused by repeatedly attacking people in the gyms

Solution: See below for two suggested solutions

 

Now this isn't a case of people needing to come back the next day, because it STILL happens no matter what.

 

Some people have different experiences for example some can workout at the following gyms still:

Madd Dogg's mansion gym

Beach Gym (located on the East side of the Santa Maria beach)

 

But cannot workout at these gyms:

Los Santos - Boxing gym

San Fierro - Marital Arts gym

Las Venturas - Below The Belt gym

 

Most people find that they STILL cannot use Madd Dogg's equipment or the Beach gym's equipment

 

People with the ability to still workout at the Madd Dogg and beach gyms should try BOTH gym glitch solutions.

I will call this varaint of the glitch G1

 

People who cannot use ANY gym equipment in the game should only try the second gym glitch solution as these people tend to have not attacked people in the gyms, which the appearence change tends to solve.

I will call this variant of the glitch G2

 

Some suggested solutions that DON'T work are:

Geting Busted

Getting Wasted

Being Sick (suggested by Take2 support)

Getting beaten up frequently (not killed but loosing a lot of health, again suggested by Take2)

Increasing fat/Decreasing fat

Decreasing muscle

Completing the Triathlon - Beat The Cock

Dying in 2 player

 

Please note that having 100% stamina is NOT THE CAUSE, as I have found a save of mine where I have around 80% and I still have the glitch.

 

Also completing the storyline missions is also NOT THE CAUSE, as I and a mate have saves just after End Of The Line (the final mission storyline mission) where we can still work out.

 

Some people's problem (mainly the people with G1) may be due to constantly killing people in the gyms, this is not the DEFFINATE cause as quite a lot of people (like myself, who TEND to have G2) NEVER attacked people in the gyms.

 

This glitch tends to happen late game.

 

First Gym Glitch Solution: Changing Appearence Entirely (only for G1 people)

 

Firstly REMOVE ALL tattoos at a tattoo parlor.

Then change your hairstyle at a barber's.

Then Buy a WHOLE set of clothing in a shop, according to someone on these forums you HAVE to BUY the following (not change in your wardrobe):

A new torso clothing

A new leg clothing - you NEED to get a new set of BOXERS from BINCO as well

A new pair of shoes

A new hat

A new set of shades

A new chain

A new watch

 

If that doesn't work the following memory card method has been SUGGESTED

 

Second Gym Glitch Solution: Memory Card Methods (for both G1 and G2 people)

 

Please note that for these methods, you will need a second memory card.

 

Method 1

Firstly load the save that has the gym bug.

Now remove your OLD memory card from the slot

Put a NEW memory card into the slot

Save on the NEW memory card

Load this save from the NEW memory card

Go to the gym

Save on the NEW memory card

Now remove the NEW memory card and put in the OLD memory card

Save over the glitched save

 

This should work apparently, if it doesn't, try Method 2

 

Method 2

Put the OLD memory card in slot 1 and the NEW memory card in slot 2.

 

In the Browser (available at the PS2's startup) go to the OLD memory card, select the GTA: San Andreas data, press to enable the Copy To function and copy this data on to the NEW memory card.

You should no longer have the glitch any more (I cannot confirm this myself, but this is the current suggested solution).

 

Method 3

Put the OLD memory card in slot 1 and the NEW memory card in slot 2

 

In the Browser (available at the PS2's startup) go to the OLD memory card, select the GTA: San Andreas data, press to enable the Copy To function and copy this data on to the NEW memory card.

Now exit this and start the game, thus loading the game from the NEW memory card.

Now remove the NEW memory card and insert the OLD memory card.

Save the game over the OLD memory card.

 

You should now be able to use the gyms (as you can see, this method is a combination of 1 and 2).

 

Hope this helps people with the problem, please all these suggested solutions. And PLEASE post any suggestions so that we can get this done by trial and error.

 

Third Gym Glitch Solution: My Starvation/Beaten Up Method

 

Just to clear things up, when I say ALMOST DEAD in this solution I DO NOT MEAN SO THAT CJ's HEALTH IS FLASHING.

 

When I say ALMOST DEAD, I mean that CJ has AROUND 1/4 OF HIS HEALTH LEFT OR LESS. It doesn't really matter how much health he has left, just get his health below 1/2. The solution I think works, because CJ is loosing health when he has no fat or muscle.

 

Sorry to frustrate those who I am sure had problems getting away from nasty peds and making it to the gym.

 

Also note when I say STARVE SO HE LOOSES HEATLH, it doesn't matter how much health CJ has left, the trick is to just starve CJ so he is starting to loose health.

 

Got this method working for 4 different saves as well as 2 of a mate's saves and recently another mate's save. We tried this 3 times for each save to make sure it was this solution that was causing the gym to work.

 

Preparation:

 

Get CJ to around 100% fat, this is so that CJ doesn’t die while you leave the game overnight. YOU ONLY HAVE TO LEAVE THE GAME ONCE OVERNIGHT AS THE SECOND STARVATION IN THIS SOLUTION ONLY TAKES AROUND AN HOUR.

 

Step 1:

 

 

Go to the Johnson home preferably or ANY safe house.

Save here.

Now leave CJ standing IN the safe house (starving when standing still DOESN’T work outside).

Go to bed as starving a lot of fat and muscle takes A LONG TIME.

 

Step 2:

 

In the morning go see your game

CJ should be starved quite a lot. He should have around 0% fat and muscle.

IF CJ has lost health, save the game.

IF he hasn’t WAIT until CJ has lost some health (doesn’t matter how much) and THEN save.

 

Step 3:

 

Now you should have CJ with 0% fat and 0% muscle (and 100% health as you just saved).

Go OUTSIDE the safe house

Hit a PED THREE TIMES

Let the pedestrian hit you until you have BELOW ½ HEALTH (you DON’T need to have CJ’s health flash)

Go inside and save

If you die when getting beaten up by a pedestrian just load your last save (say from Step 2 or from when you last saved after getting beaten up, YOU DON'T HAVE TO START OVER)

 

Step 4:

 

Repeat step 3, THREE OR FOUR times

 

Step 5:

 

Go inside the safe house.

Save

Leave CJ INSIDE the safe house and let him STARVE (this doesn’t take much more than an hour now as CJ has no fat or muscle)

Starve CJ until he is LOOSING health, not so his health is flashing (that is never required), just so that he is loosing health.

 

Step 6:

 

Whilst CJ is starving, get to a gym.

The equipment should now work.

 

Step 7:

 

If the equipment doesn’t work, load your last save after getting beaten up (end of step 4) and start from Step 3 and follow on from there.

 

Notes on this method:

 

Yes, this is time consuming, but if you think about it, you only need an hour or so as the longest part of the solution is when you are in bed.

 

Feel free to PM me your queries as I have performed this method many times.

 

I think the reason this solution works is because:

1) CJ looses health via starvation

2) CJ looses health by getting hit when he has NO fat or muscle

 

 

Gym Glitch Prevention

 

Note: This PREVENTION (not SOLUTION) will only work if you have a save that doesn't have the glitch. If you only have saves with the glitch then you cannot use this prevention. If this is the case please try the above solutions and those suggested in this topic. For those who do have a recent save without the glitch, please try the prevention below, and post your findings.

 

Recently Chang posted a method to PREVENT the gym glitch.

 

He feels that by saving with two saves slots that are within a SHORT TIME PERIOD of each other, you will incur the gym glitch.

 

For example you save at 10:42:23 in SLOT 1 and then again at 10:42:56 in a DIFFERENT slot (for example SLOT 2), your saves will look like this in the save menu:

 

(SAVE FILE 1)END OF THE LINE 17 NOV 2004 10:42:23

(SAVE FILE 2)END OF THE LINE 17 NOV 2004 10:42:56

 

He feels that saving like this causes the glitch and therefore SAVE FILE 2 is now glitched. Please note that even by saving in Slot 1 then Slot 6 for example, the problem will STILL occur

 

By deleting SAVE FILE 2 you will remove the glitched save. You must now restart the PS2 and therefore automatically load the non-glitched SAVE FILE 1.

 

Therefore to prevent this problem after deleting the glitched save and restarting to load from the non-glitched save:

DO NOT save in a short time period, if you do, save on the SAME slot, otherwise the glitch will occur.

 

EAT REGULARLY

 

Take2 support told me that you should make CJ eat at least once every 2 days, preferably ONE MEAL A DAY.

 

I think that the glitch may occur due to players not getting CJ to eat but rather saving, as saving stops CJ starving.

Therefore the glitch is most likely to occur late game as people will most likely have 100% muscle and 100% stamina and therefore NO LONGER USE THE GYM AND THUS DON'T EAT ANYMORE AFTERWARDS BUT RATHER SAVE.

 

So the message is:

GET CJ TO EAT AT LEAST ONE MEAL A DAY OR ONE MEAL EVERY TWO DAYS

 

About this topic - When referring to it and current notes about it

 

I have noticed that people are still posting topics in the forum on these bugs, WHY? This was posted so that we can keep all information in one place rather than people having to go through four or five topics.

 

Please, when referring to this post in gym bug topics, please LINK to this topic and also post CORRECT information, recently someone posted that this topic stated the solution was to workout at Madd Dogg's or the Beach gym. This is completely wrong, this post does NOT say that, it says that people with this problem EITHER can't workout at ANY gym or can workout at these two gyms only. The solutions are posted under LARGE text, so please, get it right when posting information.

 

Can I say this, these are currently the most successful SUGGESTED solutions, they are not 100% working solutions (we haven't found 100% working ones yet).

 

When posting your own solution - test it first

 

If you are going to post a solution, can you please do the following.

Keep a glitched save.

Do the actions that you said solved the glitch.

Load the glitched save, REPEAT your solution and see if it works at least THREE TIMES

 

Otherwise your solution is not tested multiple times, and therefore you cannot say "this solves the problem" as you don't know that it works more than once (and wether something by chance allowed you to workout at the gym again).

 

Also post details about CJ:

His level of fat, stamina and muscle

Did you finish a race or something just before your solution?

Progress with girlfriends, did it change just before you tried your solution?

For the memory card solution:

SteveShady for initially bringing to light that copying the GTA: San Andreas save data to another card and back again (essentially the second part of the memory card solution) would work.

JPSurratt2005 for making the memory card solution clearer, and essentially providing the step by step first part to the solution - yes I gave you credit lol

dannyh321 for combining both method 1 and 2 memory card solutions and thus creating method 3.

 

For the gym glitch prevention:

Chang - his original post can be found here

 

For the appearence solution:

I will search the forums for the first mention of this and give credit accordingly.

 

For the gambling solution to the pool glitch:

Again, mentioned many times, I will give credit to Dead At 4pm for suggesting a more detailed way of performing this solution

 

For the basketball glitch solution:

[-Vice-Andreas-] after recieving an email from Take2 he kindly informed me of this solution so that we can all give it a try, thanks VA

 

Thanks again for reading guys.

If you see topics on the gym bug, please post a link to this topic, the whole point is to keep information in one place so finding a solution will be easier, otherwise, like we had to before, we'd be going through multiple topics which usually just repeats things.

The glitch above was found by Frank-Tenpenny

 

Stuck in fence while biking: When i was trying to jump over the tennis court fence in san fierro i hit the middle of the fence with the bike and fell off but the bike was still stuck upright so i pressed triangle to get back on and i got stuck in the fence and when i pressed L1 i could still hear the bike jumping is was very strange and in the end i had to blow my self up with a rocket.

Difficulty: Hard

 

Cj's head on floor: This one is very strange. OK this is what i done, when you do the walk under water glitch spawn a rancher or some other vehicle and drive under ther water to the ocean and when you reach the ocean floor you will fall through the ground and appear near the hanky panky point or on some other part of the land. But the funny thing is sometimes when Cj spawns back to the land the rest of his body will be under the ground and just his head will ve visable. This took me about another 8 tries to do it again so it doesnt work all of the time.

Difficulty: Very Hard

 

Walk in mid air:When in a helicopter fly over to the Giant Bridge in San Fierro and try to land in the middle if you get it in the right position the helicopter will land on nothing and you can get out and walk around.

Difficulty: Easy (if you get it in the correct place)

 

Stuck in cinematic viewk i went into the world through the back door of the tattoo parlor and explored it last night. Its quite funny what you find down there, i jet packed all the way in to the ocean at the top of las venturas and i found a yellow marker i went through it and it was a plane ticket machine so i baught it and it started to fly but there was nothing there and it was pitch black so i skipped the flight. after the flight i appeared out side off track betting in the country side. But the annoying thing was the cinematic view with the two black bits at the top and the bottom was stuck on the screen and i couldnt press start. To get rid of it i went to the bookies and played one of the games.

Difficulty: Extremely Hard (Just have to find the correct marker)

 

Fight with cell phone: When Ceaser calls up to tell you about the courier leaving San Fierro. Hang up and then immediately press R1 to aim at a pedestrian your cell phone will be still in your hand and you can hit people with it. If you change weapon it will dissapear.

Difficulty: Medium

 

Shoot shotgun,rifle from back of bike:Go to any multiplayer spot in San Andreas. Go get a motorbike. Then take any weapon cheat.

Note: Only player 2 can shoot from the bike.

After taking the weapon cheat, shoot away all player 2:s ammo for the uzi. Then choose the weapon you wish to fire with(pl2) & get on the bike both of you, pl1 driving & pl2 shooting. When youre on the bike and pl2 has for example a sawed-off shotgun selected, take the weapon cheat BUT this time another weapon cheat, so that the sawed-off shotgun changes to a combat shotgun or a regular one. Now you can shoot from the bike with it, and the guns are automatic!!!! For example, the combat shotgun becomes automatic, & you can shoot with it with an incredible fire rate. Repeat the cheat several times & go out on a motorway rampage shooting crazy taxi drivers!!!!! Guaranteed fun!

WARNING: If you fall from the bike, the glitch goes away

But the annoying thing was the cinematic view with the two black bits at the top and the bottom was stuck on the screen and i couldnt press start. To get rid of it i went to the bookies and played one of the games.

Difficulty: Extremely Hard (Just have to find the correct marker)

Note: Only player 2 can shoot from the bike.

After taking the weapon cheat, shoot away all player 2:s ammo for the uzi. Then choose the weapon you wish to fire with(pl2) & get on the bike both of you, pl1 driving & pl2 shooting. When youre on the bike and pl2 has for example a sawed-off shotgun selected, take the weapon cheat BUT this time another weapon cheat, so that the sawed-off shotgun changes to a combat shotgun or a regular one. Now you can shoot from the bike with it, and the guns are automatic!!!! For example, the combat shotgun becomes automatic, & you can shoot with it with an incredible fire rate. Repeat the cheat several times & go out on a motorway rampage shooting crazy taxi drivers!!!!! Guaranteed fun!

WARNING: If you fall from the bike, the glitch goes away

Swim in first person was only thing I didn't know. Others are known. I haven't found any because I don't have the game. But when I got to my friend's I'll certainly try to find some.

Btw I think there's a topic already for this.

[Barguast]

Some of those are new to me at least, but I think the topic would be better suited in Cheats and Tricks

 

Moved

[bobo_the_ape]

The topic starter should certainly go through this cheats and tricks section and update that list. I could see this worthy of being pinned if he took the effort to get a comperehensive list of all the glitches that have been found on this board, whether or not they seem like common knowledge to us.

[SuGGaK]

Have you tried my starvation/beaten up method?

 

Gangsta8d9 just PMed me and said this solution worked for him when he followed it exactly. I just made sure he didn't die, and followed the solution exactly, so please give it a try.

 

As a point of interest my most common save which I used the starvation/beaten up solution on has not incurred the glitch even though I have lost muscle since then, which you feel may cause the problem, in my opinion it doesn't.

 

I ensure CJ eats regulary (2 salad meals a day, so eat daily as Take2 suggest) and when I save regulary I use ONE SAVE (as Chang suggested).

 

I have recently lost all my muscle and fat as I did the driving school and still haven't got the glitch. Just EAT REGULARLY, that's really working well for me and my mates. I think there's an error in the scripting, where saving stops the starving process, and I believe this wasn't intended and causes a conflict with the gym equipment use. The workaround certainly appears to be to eat regularly. If you want to loose muscle just leave CJ to starve, it shouldn't matter, I haven't found a problem, but ONCE you have starved off what you want, eat SALAD MEALS, that's what I have been doing and so far haven't got the glitch back.

 

It's just now part of my routine after I get CJ to the physical state I want.

 

For example, I want CJ to have 0% fat and 0% muscle:

I leave CJ in a safehouse overnight.

In the morning I look at the game and CJ is skinny as hell

I save.

Now I go eat 4 salad meals

Save

 

Then I follow the normal routine of eating 2 salad meals before I save.

 

If I want to maintain 100% muscle and 15% fat I just eat 2 normal meals and 1 salad meal before I save.

 

That and saving on ONE SLOT has really has stopped the glitch coming back

 

I really feel a reissue is needed, but to be honest the only way we're going to get that is in some triology boxset with GTA3 and VC.

[Slickerific]

Ive tried like everyone's solutions, even all of Suggak's, but none of them work. But there are all these different weird ways people fix them, so maybe if you just screw around a lot, the gym will all of a sudden start working again. When I started the game though, I used to keep beating up people inside, so I think that definetly is one of the major causes for it. Take2 should come up with 1 way they are sure that it will fix it.

I also saved in 2 files.

[SuGGaK]

Doubt Take2 support are going to do anything.

 

The game needs a reissure, period, there's no reason why FANS should be trying to solve problems when they have contributed to the wages of those who appear to be doing nothing.

 

Like I have said before, the company who made WWF No Mercy admitted bugs and created a reissue, that you could pick up at your local EB store, you just returned the old one. Of course this was a catridge game so that may be different. But come on, DVDs are piss cheap to make, they don't need to make more packaging (which most likely costs more than the DVD in terms of materials).

[Silent Kong]

Thanks for the help suggak I have finally gotten rid of the gym glitch. (in a very simple way also)

 

I had the glitch for about 2 weeks (real time) and This is exactly what i did-

 

-I was going to attempt the 'starvation /beaten' up method so I drove to Los Santos, I went to the Pizza Stack nearest the Johnson house and ate exactly eleven (11) of the biggest meal (name?) (don't eat twelve,CJ will throw up)

 

I then went to the Johnson house to save,saved for the purpose of passing a few days, since you cant eat any more than 11 meals a day,I then went to Cluckin Bell and ate one(1) salad meal and ten (10) 'cluckin huge meal, so by now CJ was about 25-35% muscle and 70-75% fat(It was funny to watch him waddle around), so i drove back to the Johnson house and went inside and stood in the kitchen this is when i then let the game sit, but i checked the game about 2 1/2 hours later and to my suprise CJ was outside the hospital , so he obviously died and he was also had 0 muscle and 0 fat so i then jacked a car and drove to the ganton gym.and to my suprise i could work out.

 

 

simple.

 

I believe that the glitch occurs somewhere between the games processing of food,CJ's Hunger, saving while hungry, saving while losing muscle,now i beleive but have no evidence of, but i beleive most of these trobles can be avoided by having a simple routine based on the length of time you play the game,like eating exercising,

 

so just try to eat at regular intervals(atleast that's what i do )

 

I eat about 4 meals a day like- first trip i eat on salad meal to stay lean + one huge meal,it is a smart idea to have a extremely little amount of fat (if you want to stay buff) so you will lose fat b4 muscle then i make one more trip later and eat the same thing.

 

Good luck

[42yroldbanker]

Suggakk, sorry if wrong spelling, did'nt go back to check. Well, your starvation thing most likely is correct. It did not work for me but my scenario was a little different. Anyway, my glitch is now fixed, the first 2 memory card solution worked perfectly the first time, and now I am eating regularly. You are dead on dude, that is the key, eating. My neighbor whom I wrote about having the glitch also had nothing work, the 2 memory card solutions, starving, nothing, so we decided to combine all of them, he starved, then we did the 2 memory card save feature, then we did the save 8 times feature and suddenly he was able to work out then he went and ate a meal. Also to note, every time I work out now I go and eat a meal. I used to want my fat really low but seems important to maintain it up a little. This is a great topic though and you are doing a great job of answering everyone's questions and helping us out, props bro!

[matth3w]

man, whole hell broke loose when I noticed I coudn't go to the gym anymore

 

I was so pleased that there was a topic about this glitch, so I tried the first one; changing clothes and stuff. Didn't work

So, the next one with the extra memory card. Got one from a friend, didn't work either!! Then the second memory card option... didn't work!!!!!!!

 

Now I'm really starting to get pissed off, I really don't hope I have to replay the whole game.

 

But, I got it over 70% and I had all the oysters, tags, horse shoes and the pictures. I think it was right after I did the tags or the oysters.

 

It's a really f*cked up glitch... shame on you Rockstar!

[mikethepike]

ok so i have the gym glitch and the basketball glitch but i can play pool. i dont really care for the basketball but i do want to be able to work out since i can lose muscle. i finished the game 100% with no cheats and noticed it a little before 100% completion. rather than read through 8 pages (what can i say, im a lazy dude) i was wondering if someone who has been following this could tell me which of the three methods seems to be working best for everyone who has this annoying glitch.

 

 

 

thanks in advance

[KANE79]

 

...but i do want to be able to work out since i can lose muscle.

Having the "gym glitch" doesn't mean you can't maintain or improve CJ's physique. Just keep a small amount of fat on him and he'll burn that off and muscle won't decrease. To increase muscle, simply run, swim or cycle around a bit [granted, using a gym is faster].

 

Anyways, I discovered I had this "glitch" yesterday and did a bit of research and have come to believe it is actually a poorly-implemented game feature/function, rather than a glitch.

 

I suspect that the problem arises due to extended periods of not eating. Saving the game restores your health and somehows resets the countdown to getting the "you're getting hungry" message, but the fact remains that you haven't eaten in X amount of days. When you rock up to the gym, CJ is actually too weak to exercise, but the "error message" doesn't indicate that.

 

Why I believe this is because I tried eating a few meals each day for five or six game days and eventually I was able to work out again. I tried the save slot and changing clothes tricks, but they didn't work. I persisted with daily eating and that solved the problem.

[mikethepike]

i have good news. i got it to work. i used the self starvation method and after a few tries it worked. heres how i did it,

 

 

i maxed out on my fat and i was already maxed out on muscle

 

 

i went to las venturas and used the safe house at the ring master.

 

 

did the whole starvation thing and i used the time speed cheat so i was skinny as a rail within 10 minutes.

 

 

i went out and tried to pick fights and heres something weird i found. if i fought a guy i barely lost any health after 5 minutes of him beating the crap out of me. if i fought a girl i lost about half my health after about 2 minutes of fighting with her. i also found it hard to find a girl to fight back in venturas and there were cops around so it got aggravating. i tried it anyways and went to the gym and couldnt work out. so i reloaded the game and jacked a car and went to grove street. saved at grove street and went outside and picked 4 fights with various bitches. went back in the house and saved. then used the time speed cheat and advanced the time so i had lost about half my health. walked outside and started running to the gym. i jacked a remington on the way and went to the gym and i went up to the barbells and pressed expecting only dissapointment but was suprised to find that i was back pumping iron adding on some muscle. but silly me was use to hitting the 120's but forgot that i had no muscle at all so i think my cj might have pulled something. i took it down to 80 lbs which he handled fine.

so thank you suggak and everyone else for everything. if anybody wants me to go into fine details then let me know. in the meantime ill be at the gym

 

 

should have included a hunger meter which would have allowed us to patternize cj's eating. or something like that. now to figure out why millie wont come out of her house

i have added some more glitches above

[GTA GOD]

I just heard that apparently if a bike is upside down it catches fire im trying it at the moment but its bloody impossible.

[Barguast]

It is true of the quad bike (which has the same characteristics as the motorbikes), so I suppose if any other bike got trapped upside down it'd behave the same and explode.

[GTA GOD]

apparently it happens with a Bmx or another bycicle thats what im trying it with

[Opius]

The BMX and other bikes NEVER explode.

[GTA GOD]

what about if its upside down does it catch fire?

[Barguast]

what about if its upside down does it catch fire?

The BMX and other push bikes are completely invincible, I believe. Even if they get trapped upside down, they won't explode.

[Chunkubis]

Loads and loads of territories save before you do this and DONT save after. get a plane and fly into any corner of the map for about 30 mins (long time) and jump out of the plane without opening the parachute and intentionally drown. when you appear at the hospital there will be lots of territories and there is only one wave for each.

 

you do not have to kill yourself...

the longer you fly out the more territories show up...

you can fly or boat back to land and the same effect happens

[banxter667]

I've been pulling my hair out for two weeks trying to get around this thing. I've tried every solution (and combination of) listed here, and a few of my own half-baked ideas, and couldn't get anything to work.

 

Finally, I fixed it. Completely on accident, but it does work, so try it if you can.

If you have already beaten all story missions, I can't help you.

 

I had just gotten finished with flight school, and was on my way to go out with barbara before I did the actual airstrip missions. Naturally, you have to be fat to go out with barbara, so I got my fat up to 100%, bought the safe house in El Quebrados, met barbara, saved, took her out, saved 3 times to get to the next date... etc. till I had her at 100% and got the cop suit. (this is just how I do the whole dating thing, so I won't have to stop and drive across half the state to take somebody out. This way I get 100% in about 45 minutes real time with any girl)

 

Anyway, I went to do the airstrip missions, and when I got to Black Project, Truth shows up on top of one of the old plane carcasses and tells me I'm too fat to help him right now, go and lose some weight, he'll be waiting for me. So I grab a mountain bike and start running around the desert (sand does affect speed of bikes too) and I got the idea to try the gym, and it worked.

 

So, if you haven't done Black Project yet, get 100% fat before you do it, and you'll be able to use the gym again. For how long, I don't know, but I've done about 10 missions since then, and still no problems.

 

Good Luck, and let me know if this helps anybody.

 

Thanks,

I've had the gym glitch twice...the first time it was solved by the second memory card solution, but the second time around nothing seems to be working! So, I started from an earlier save where the gym still worked(around 93% completion) Since then I have been keeping at least 10% fat and NO lower and I slowly went through all the things I had done on the other save before it got the gym glitch(tags,oysters,vigilante,pimpin,firetruck,shooting range ) I now have around 99% with only a few photo ops to go and so far I'am glitch free. I've come to the conculsion that the key to preventing this glitch is to keep your fat up and not let it get to zero. You need fat to have muscle so if you have no fat then the game won't let you work out thus initiating the gym glitch.

[CarpetDweller]

I don't know if this is old but I only just found it and I did do a search.

 

There's a construction site in Las Venturas with a working crane. If you use it to lift the blocks by the Clown's Pocket Casino and then release them in the air - They stay there.

 

I wonder what I can build with this.
