I'm 99,9% sure that this is not fault of chain game save. I have never experienced this problem either.

Any modded game may have odd effects such as this 'glitch' at anytime.

[JAJ]

ThaBoY, are your drivers up to date for your computer & video?

I loaded the game on my girlfriend's computer & got similar results until I updated all the drivers.

No, it can't. That's just an excuse to refuse help to anyone with modded or cracked games.

 

The save data contains nothing that can possibly have any effect on tree elevation.

 

Floating Trees, Floating Rocks, and Other Glitches used to be a popular subject (link below might be original). It was never anything I was interested in, but over the years I've noticed quite a few objects that appear to float.

And guys, I would prefer all of you to whoever starts doing the spray tags, do them all, not letting it to the end. I crossed Los Santos many times and still couldn't manage to find the last three tags. My recommendation would be, when doing the Tagging up Turf mission, to spray all the tags.

And of course, as DREVIL919 says in his posts, that's just my opinion.

[Shoumaker]

Well, Ilir you could just use SAMA to find the last three tags, I would post a picture of a map filled with the remaining tags for you but sama wont work for me.

[MrMateczko]

Don't worry, SAMA works for me, and I'll do those tags for you all.

[Space Cowboy]

I was going to do them all, but right now I don't have time to play that's the reason why I left them out, sorry. And as other said you should use SAMA next time.

The 'Snip-it Tool' is very useful.

 

And Yes, I know it's too late.

 

[Space Cowboy]

It has been said numerous times, but I'll point it out again, we would be happy if you all keep Millie alive it takes just 2 gimp suit dates to get keycard, and killing her permanently disables chance to get her proofed Feltzer. It's just a suggestion though.

[Shoumaker]

Agreed, since this is the chain game I'm sure there are people who are willing to date Millie so if you're impatient don't kill her, especially becasue we are in no rush to aquire the card. We can afford to stall obtaining the card even after EOTL is complete technically.

 

A tip, just wear the gimp suit and go to her house for a successful date as it'll speed things up.

[Kwabs]

I can do it over if you guys insist.

 

Edit: Or forfeit.

Edited January 16, 2013 by ThaBoY

[Shoumaker]

Don't bother it's only a suggestion. We can always obtain the car in future rounds.

[lil weasel]

We can afford to stall obtaining the card even after EOTL is complete technically.

 

The idea of the game is to complete it 100% Before the 'End of the Line' mission.

[Space Cowboy]

No, you don't have to. It's your choice what you will do in your turn as long as you are not broking any rule. That was just a suggestion as some players like to collect girlfriends proofed vehicles, by killing Millie you eliminated chance of getting her proofed Feltzer. BTW it would be great if you won't date any girlfriends, because that eliminates chances of getting their cars as well. Gimp suit datas are however harmless, you can do them. Just a heads up.

BTW @shoumic I'm pretty sure that every chain game player knows how to do gimp suit date.

@lil weasel Yes, technically we have to do EoTL last, but I don't think it's very strict rule like saving without busted/wasted stat etc. I'm not sure though.

[Shoumaker]

@lil weasel

 

Which is why I said "technically" weasel, I was trying to make the point that we're in no rush to obtain the card. I know the idea of the game is to complete it 100% as soon as the 'End of the Line' mission is complete.

 

@0909090

 

It is not compulsory to finish with EoTL, I remember seeing Weasel completing one round doing something other than that mission.

[DREVIL919]

Suggestions:

Let’s try to have the last save for 100% be "End of the Line", so let’s try to get everything else done before that.

This is from the front page. It is a suggestion not a rule.

And yes, murdering Millie is not necessary.

[iLiR]

SAMA didn't work for me aswell. Then I got the idea to view the remaining tags with Save Game Editor but it was late as I already posted the save game. Thank you guys and especially shoumic, I know you would post a screenshot for me. I appreciate it

By the way I have a question. Does the Save Game Editor affects the savefile only by OPENING it?

 

EDIT: I've encountered many programs that edits a file only by opening it. So that's why I'm asking, just for safety.

Edited January 16, 2013 by ilir

[Kwabs]

As long as you don't edit anything I don't see how it can affect the safegame.

[OrionSR]

The Savegame Editor v3.1x and SASE 1.00 will only make changes to the files when they save. So if you load slot 1 and save in slot 2 then the slot 1 save will still be original.

[iLiR]

Thank you very much

Firstly, Welcome to the Chain Game.

 

You don't have to worry about facing the basketball glitch in the Chain Game save. The diskette has been moved to another room in the mansion to prevent the glitch from happening. But it's good you tried to avoid glitch situations.

 

Edit:

 

@ThaBoY

 

Please wait 6 hours since the last turn has been completed not called, I guess it's okay this time because no one called or was going to call for a turn anyways. Please remeber this next time

Edited January 19, 2013 by shoumic

[DREVIL919]

@ThaBoY You need to reread the rules and guidelines. The 6 hour reset is from the time the last turn was completed, not from when it started. It will have to be overlooked this time, but try not to do it again. That was what I was referring to when I posted about the 6 hour 3 mission reset earlier.

[evil_hunter]

I did the mission los desperados, now am I allowed to take over some gang territories too and then upload or should I upload the save just after the mission completion? I am doing it because the 35% minimum requirement has not been reached even though riot has been done.

[DREVIL919]

You can do the turf takeovers. They have to be done to 35% or the last mission can not be started. That is why we should try to get 35% before "Riot".

[Shoumaker]

It's your choice if you want to do gang territories in your turn or not, no ones going to force you to do them. Also remember that territories can be taken over in both San Fierro and Las Venturas where the Riots are not happening in the Chain Game save.

A long explanation for a new player:

 

You've got 3 hours to do whatever is permitted by the rules. However, if you can see other CG players lurking in the topic you might choose to take a shorter turn to be polite. If you are doing something epic and need a bit more time to finish up, travel to a good save spot, upload the save, and post the results (the time adds up quickly), a short grace period has occasionally been allowed to players that check in on time and explain the problem.

 

"Permitted by the rules" is worth looking into in depth. The short version is one named mission and one race (or 3 races), but there are lots of exceptions so read through the opening posts in full at least once. Almost everyone has broken the rules from time to time so there's a culture of forgiveness for minor mistakes. Don't upload anything with cheats, deaths, or arrests; those saves are always thrown out. The only time we kick people out is when they can't figure out how or won't stop using mods that pollute the save.

 

Hidden Rules: If you intend to do a mission and a race, or other events that change the name of the save, then consider doing the mission last so the name of the save in SnP is the same as the name for the mission completed. Current players are enjoying the challenge of collecting proofed cars from the girlfriends. This challenge can be disabled by normal (non-gimp suit) dates, so if you don't intend to collect the special vehicles then it would be best to leave the dating to the collectors. The murderer of Millie bares a curse for seven turns. It would be best to avoid the UFO curse for a few rounds; players are currently sick of it.

 

Oh yeah. Millie got killed. I've got something for that somewhere...

 

Millie Perkins - October 26, 2004 to January 16 2013

I loved her so much it hurt.

 

Early Wednesday morning Millie Perkins was murdered for a Key Card she would have gladly given up for a few drinks, a nice dinner in a fancy restaurant, inexpensive gifts, an occasional kiss, a little iced coffee, and a cut of the profits. Millie was one of our favorite six girlfriends and will be sorely missed.

 

As many of the people who loved her most are well aware, Millie enjoyed slow drives in rich neighborhoods, business and shopping districts, and areas of entertainment, but not many people know how much she enjoyed sitting and chatting in a parked car during sunset or sunrise. Millie also had a preference for muscular men, but rarely complained if her date was out of shape.

 

Rest assured Millie Perkins, this selfish and senseless act of violence will be avenged.

 

Services for Millie are scheduled at the Palomino Creek Cemetery on Saturday, January 19th, 2013 from 12:00 until 22:00.

Oh millie, we will miss you so much, R.I.P

 

Respawn in Peace

[Space Cowboy]

@evil_hunter Regarding gang territories I would like to mention 4-star gang wars. In first wawe of gang wars (from mission Doberman to mission The Green Sabre) you can do 4-star gang wars in territories in San Fierro and Las Venturas. You can do them without3 mission rule, that means you can take a normal turn without gang wars, and then you can take a turn anytime you want. But you should wait at least one turn before you will do 4-star gang wars again after your turn. Remember you can do them without 3mission rule only if all you do in your turn is gangwars. BTW these territories will reappear again after Home Coming, so if you have taken over them before The Green Sabre, territories will reappear after Home Coming and they will be under control of Grove Street. Gang members will stay in these areas for whole game, although you can't recruit them after The Green Sabre. Just a heads up, there were problems with this rule while ago(caused by me ) .

BTW Orion you have good writing skills I'll come to Millie's funeral...

[MrMateczko]

Oh, we're done already? Well, good job. Too bad Millie had to die (even though I've killed her in some rounds ago, but I also gimped her some rounds ago to get the Key Card). Guess who will do the NRG-500 Challenge in the next round?

And please don't even think of the UFO Curse for a couple of rounds. No one likes it.

JAJ, will there be something special for the 100th round?
