This sounds simular to another... By chance is your game downloaded from a torrent site?

I ask because the other Player had a pirated torrent game that Ended at that point. There was no fix other than buying a Real Game.

Are there any mods installed? When I have this problem I always find out it is a mod causing it so remove the mods and try again.

I downloaded the user file of the last mission

some parts of the city are just running ok ....

But the error arrives in a particular part of the city

(The part from where the 'badlands' mission starts)

Downloaded the "user file"? Do you mean the Game SAVE file?

If it is a save game file does the game file Version match the game Verison you have? (V1, V2).

 

Is your Game a Second Edition installed from and playing with the Disc in the Drive?

You haven't answered Lil Weasel's question, did you download the game from a torrent site or megaupload or did you buy it from your local game store?

 

Also if you have map mod the games main.scm will screw up if a mission takes place there.

If you have a mis-matched Game Edition and Game Save Edition you will have problems from not running at all to Holes in the ground, etc.

All Save Game Files

 

Depending on the source of your downloaded save Game it may also contail mods which may have effects in the game. Example: the Chain Game Saves.

 

So changing the .exe script may work.

try to reduce graphics and resolution and try it again. if not work, run gta_sa.exe as administrator, with right-click mouse if you run Win Vista or 7. if it crash again, download gta sa in other site, if you have pitared game. if you have original game, copy your save game folder to desktop, uninstall your gta sa and re-install it again.

The only help I can offer is to check out the Mission Help Forum, especially this :

Easy Script Switcher, which may or may not be suitable. Read it carefully.

I re-read your statement.

I know some countries don't observe the International Copyrights.

Are you saying you have a Pirated copy of the game that is distributed by your local store? (Which is not all that uncommon in eastern europe.)

If you do, there is no way to Fix your game other than buying a real Game on the Internet.

If you have a illegal disk copy here is how to tell.

LEGAL versions come on 1 DVD.

ILLEGAL versions come on 6 CD's.

Nate, that's not all true, as some pirated copies are put on DVDs.

Where to (Buy) Download:

Direct2Drive.com for PC and MAC

SteamPowered.com

Wikipedia: Steam (software)

 

Rockstar Warehouse for boxed games:

Buy Now PS2, XBOX, PC.

Rockstar Site

Also generally available at on-line sites…

Amazon.com (I got a replacement copy for 10.00$US)

and,

E-Bay (you might find a First Edition if you’re lucky),

GameStop,

K-Mart,

Wal-Mart,

and their dot coms, etc.

also, if you’re lucky some local Pawn shops, Swap meets/Flea Markets (But, beware of Pirated games. The Game comes on a single DVD not CD’s

A Note for potential Modders:

Modding is easy with First Edition (Version 1 games are Hard to find).

Not so easy unless you work at it with Second Edition (Version 2 games on a DVD Disc. These are Currently available.)

Version 3 games are Not able to be Modded. (Downloads).
