SA Classic Basketball, Gym & Pool Bugs/Glitches

[Jack Reacher]

Here are 2 bugs that happened to me while trying to get a two time date on a starter save in restricted territory

 

Firstly, as i took he girl home, i stopped in he pink marker just as a cop threw me out. There was a cutscene with Michelle and i got busted at the same time. When i spawned at the police station, it was still in cutscene mode. THere was no HUD ( no money, weapon icon etc etc) and when i aimed no crosshair

 

I couldnt even press start and pause. It didnt go away till i turned off my PS3

 

The second is similar. I did trigger a two time date but it was just as my car caught fire. The cutscene came where the girl first sees you and pulls the fingers, but as this scene was triggered my car blew up and the scene didnt goa way. The camera stayed on her and she just drove around. i could see myself moving on the radar as well, and my health was going down even though i had just been blown up. It then froze.

I found an easier method:If you havent completed all the missions or races,do one of them.Then,get to a safehouse.Save the game,but dont overwirite the glitched savegame.Save in another save file.After that,load that savegame.You can now workout.

I think this method will work,because it worked on me.

I havent made this up.I have tried it.

Hope this helps.

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).  <SNIP> .

That would only work for a select few, as the Patch is for V1 ONLY-there is NO Patch for V2/V3(the Legal Download version)...Since V2 came out in June 2005, this is the version pretty much everyone has(since V1 was not sold very long-since the PC version came out in 2005, yet V2 came out in June of the same year)..?

 

Also, HMvartak has a simple fix by just uploading the affected save, selecting the fix needed and re downloading the save. Also, the Save Editor has a option to fix those problems as well. These work for ALL 3 Versions of the game. Just a friendly heads up.

 

Also, Why the Long quote? It was NOT needed.

This topic needs are major overhaul or replacement.

 

Most of the best fixes for confirmed glitches are offered at the sources linked below. These methods offer a way to prevent the basketball glitch from reoccurring by moving the disk in Madd Doggs mansion.

The Gym Glitch Explained

 

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

 

If this message is displayed every time CJ tries to workout, even when he returns the next day, then you've got the Gym Glitch.

 

The Gym Glitch can be avoided completely if CJ never exceeds the daily workout limit on that save.

 

When CJ exceeds the daily limit the current in-game month and day is recorded. Usually when CJ returns the next day or later the current month or current day will be greater than the exceeded month or day and he will be allowed to use the gym equipment. However...

 

There is no in-game year. When enough time has passed the current month will rollover back to 1. So let say that CJ last exceeded the daily limit on the 14th day of May. After the new year he will not be able to workout for the first two weeks of every month until June finally rolls around.

 

But there's a catch. There is no in-game method to determine the current month and day. The sum of all game days and safehouse visits is hardly even close. The best I can do is suggest to start checking for the glitch sometime after 200 game days, but that depends a lot of how often the game is saved.

 

The effects of the gym glitch can be mitigated by saving (which advances the calendar by 1 day) or by rolling over the clock past midnight until he can finally workout again. Then intentionally exceed the daily limit. This will set the exceeded date to the current date and CJ can work out normally again, until next year when you'll need to go through this process again.

 

Or better yet, wait until the last day of the month and start to work out. Wait until the clock rolls over and exceed the limit on the first day of a new month. Then the glitch will only be in effect next year on the first day of the early months. A player can determine the 1st day of the month because on the previous day CJ could work out but now he can't. Work between 2 saves and load the previous save when necessary.

 

Or even better, wait until new years eve to start working out and exceed the limit on new years day. Then if CJ never exceeds the limit again the glitch will only be noticed on new years day of each year. If the player carefully tracked each and every day for several months it might be possible to determine the current month based on a leap year calendar.

 

What can you do about the gym glitch?

 

If the glitch isn't very severe (March 5th) then don't do anything which might make it worse (December 31st).

 

On PS2, if you have AR-Max or similar cheat device software the glitch can be repaired with cheat device codes.

 

On backwards compatible PS3s it's possible to export the save to a PC, extract the save data, and use a save editor to examine the current month and day.

 

PSN users are out of luck. It's easy enough to export the save but it's encrypted, so unless someone figures out a way to decrypt the data there's no way to learn the date or fix anything.

 

PC players can use the repair tools linked below to reset the exceeded date. These tools will not work properly on PS2 saves because the global variables are different.

Honestly, It's so easy to fix all of this. Renew your save game. No need for the madness.

in your case an "advanced" save file, is a save file with xx times wasted

Asking questions of a Year Old poster (who has not been around since January) usually gets no response.

Upload your save to: http://gtasnp.com/

at the middle of the page is "Modifications" clicking there should have possible "cures" for many problems.

And, then you can download the adjusted save, to try. Download to a different save slot

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.

Is this confirmed yet? It's been 13 years .

[OrionSR]

If this strategy works for you then it's a fluke and only temporary. We know now how and why this glitch occurs; it's related to the in-game calendar system - data that is not visible without poking through save data with an editor. When CJ exceed the daily workout limit the current month and day are recorded so CJ can't work out again until either the month or day is greater than the date recorded. This work well until the next calendar year when the month rolls over to 1/1 again. The glitch might effect only the first few days of the first few months, so strategies that advance the date sometimes work, other times not, and the confusing observations have led to a lot of superstitions over the years.

 

Avoid the glitch by never exceeding the daily workout limit. If you want to workout a lot then leave the gym and immediately return.

 

You can mitigate the damage by working out on the last day of the month and letting the clock roll over to the next day before exceeding the limit.

 

GTASnP's modifications tool can fix the glitch.

[HalfOfAKebab]

[...] strategies that advance the date sometimes work, other times not [...]

Why would it not work? The glitch happens because the game checks whether or not the current time is before or after the date CJ hit the workout limit, right? So if you just keep saving until you get past that date, you should be able to work out again, right?

 

Also, is hitting the workout limit just a ticking time bomb? So if I hit the workout limit even once, am I 100% guaranteed to have this glitch happen to me, since the game will remember the date I hit it?

 

And what actually is the workout limit? How do I know when to stop working out to avoid hitting the limit?

Edited March 7, 2017 by HalfOfAKebab

[OrionSR]

If the limit was hit on 12/31 then there's nothing to be done short of fix the glitch with an editor. If you don't understand how the glitch works and can't see the current or recorded month and day the effect of save strategies may appear random.

 

Yeah, the limit is a time bomb, but the risk isn't all that severe. Few players these days put in enough time to reach a 2nd year. And too much time on the clock leads to nasty traffic glitches. Most game play strategies these days urge efficiency so the gym glitch isn't really a horrible disaster waiting to happen.

 

Sorry, I forget the workout limit details. The coding has a bunch of workout points that accumulate more quickly if a higher level is set. You can't see the data so the value doesn't help, and time or rep estimates will vary by level. My strategy was to save, workout until I hit the limit, then reload and stay safely below that level. The strategy kinda sucks as CJ becomes stronger and I need to recalibrate for higher levels.

[HalfOfAKebab]

Yeah, the limit is a time bomb

Welp, time to restart my save before I get too far into it.

 

And too much time on the clock leads to nasty traffic glitches.

Like what? Sounds interesting.

[HalfOfAKebab]

Do stats gained outside of the gym (e.g. stamina from sprinting, muscle from cycling) count towards the gym workout limit? And what actually is the gym workout limit - is it a certain number of %+ popup notifications? A certain number of reps?

Edit: I have answers!

 

The workout limit is hit when its variable hits 200 points. Each time you increase your muscle or stamina, the amount of points you increase it by is added to this variable. (Note: 1 point is 0.1%, so each pop-up notification of 5% is 50 points.) This means, for example, if you gain 10% stamina and 5% muscle, you have added 150 points to the total. Points are still added to the workout limit variable even if you're already at 100% of the stat that (otherwise would have) increased.

 

TL;DR: the daily limit is hit when you gain a combined 40% of muscle and stamina. For example, 20% muscle and 20% stamina, or 10% stamina and 30% muscle, will hit the limit.

 

Stats gained outside of the gym don't contribute towards the daily workout limit.

 

Thanks to Nick for the information.

The Gym/pool glitch happens when you save your game at the Mulholland safehouses. (Madd Dogg's house and the other safehouse) There may be a patch for this but idk where. This glitch still happens to me from time to time but in a different way. These are my problems:

1.No water in pools

2.When i go to the gym i can work out but the people in there spawn multiple times. One guy (eg:the gym teacher guy) spawns like ten times! 2 minutes later the games crashes. I can still live with this though

Uploading corrupt savefile with the gym glitch on gtasnp.com and have it removed with one click. Works!! That's real great help. Thanks so much. Amazing ressource...

[Evil empire]

You can also fix glitch and others through savegame editor btw.

[OrionSR]

The glitch repair tools on GTASnP.com are more up to date than the Savegame Editor. For the most part it doesn't matter, but I don't think the Savegame Editor repairs the taxi glitch properly (due to poor documentation on my part), and the Traffic Fix on SnP catches a few settings that the Savegame Editor doesn't.

I just 100% my San Andreas... ps2, No cheat , now I want this to work I'm running it at this second.. but, for my fourth time.  Embarked southeast .. traverse 29 or maybe 30  degrees south. To break the resist barrer... autopilot... can I pause to look or not till I bail and splat.. some non cheat assist . I literally have 100% in gta3-5 vc. Sa.   But this it really the only glitch I'm interested I doing..  . Can't do it.. I'm pree sure I am not using the greatest hits v2... 

[OrionSR]

You won't see changes to the map while doing the glitch, but you should be able to see changes to some of the gang stats as they occur. The traditional suicide at the end of the flight should trigger a map update. IIRC, you could do the glitch with a Hunter and toggle vigilante to update the map during the flight.

where to find pool with water?

or we can use this cheats

and we will can swim without go to sea
