Can someone give a link to the previous version of the patch? The newest one crashes the game before it could even start.

I'd still appreciate info on what EXE you're using. I tested on 1.0 compact, 1.0EU and 1.0 hoodlum and they all run fine.

OK, sorry. But about fourth reply - where is the thread for this Ultimate ASI loader? I searched this subforum and I cannot find any thread with "Ultimate" word contained in its' title name... Please for link to the exact thread for this ASI plugin... Edit: You said ThirteenAG's widescreen fix thread contains it already...

There is no thread for it.
Here is download link

From extract dinput8.dll and rename it to d3d8.dll (for GTA3 and VC) or d3d9.dll (SA) and scripts folder. In that change in global.ini LoadFromScriptsOnly=1 to LoadFromScriptsOnly=0

Create empty wndmode.ini in root folder of the GTA

I use 1.0. Should I post the error messages?

[Silent]

Yeah, that might help.

[inadequate]

Silent you should include Ped Speech Patch on SilentPatchVC, fits on it. Also, I was playing Vice City on PS2 yesterday and something in the Ped Speech Patch by Sergeanur still missing, the peds and even Tommy (when you hits another car or when you hijacks a car with a passenger, they screams like crazy lol) still more talkative on PS2 than PC even with the patch, I don't know if you can compare it against the PS2 code. Or maybe is something wrong on my side.

@Tomasak, thanks I've installed the Ultimate ASI Loader and I've got window mode, but any idea how to activate border with a title bar to it - what setting to change? For some reason the archive @ThirtteenAG packed his Ultimate ASI loader doesn't have any Readme inside...

 

@Silent, please you reply for least can you implement the Black Road Fix I've mentioned in previous post (since it appears to be another graphical well-known bug in San Andreas)?

 

Also, I've found another bug in SA with keyboard controls - for some reason both Left and Right Shift keys refuses to work in game at all. If I assign any keyboard key EXCEPT the Left or Right Shift as custom key for specific action, and then I press that key, game will respond to it normally, including the Left and Right Control keys too. But you can check yourself by binding any of Shift keys (either Left or Right shift) to specific action, and when you @Silent go back and try to preform this action, the game is unresponsive when you press the Shift key you're had just binded and it will have no effect in gameplay at all (it simply won't work at all on my side - Hoodlum SA exe). But you can check this any other keys, including the Left / Right Control keys binded to anything will be fully working, but NOT the Left / Right Shift keys! Can you fix this bug?

open wndmode.ini, set border=0 to 1

open wndmode.ini, set border=0 to 1

I changed this, but game still have no border nor title bar?!? Might be this only work on Windows 8 and newer (I'm using Windows 7 SP1).

[Igor Bogdanoff]

Lower resolution, it will have

[65536]

Sorry man, but game still run only in Borderless mode! Seems I will have to deal with this... I just cannot get this border to appear with my game at all... Thanks for help anyway.

[Igor Bogdanoff]

you chaging the ini in the root folder of you games (the place where the exe is)?

[65536]

Yes. My wndmode.ini in my SA's root folder is currently:

 

[WINDOWMODE]

UseWindowMode=1

UseGDI=1

UseDirect3D=1

UseDirectInput=0

UseDirectDraw=0

UseDDrawColorEmulate=0

UseDDrawFlipBlt=0

UseDDrawColorConvert=0

UseDDrawPrimaryBlt=0

UseDDrawAutoBlt=0

UseDDrawEmulate=0

UseDDrawPrimaryLost=0

UseCursorMsg=0

UseCursorSet=0

UseCursorGet=0

UseSpeedHack=0

SpeedHackMultiple=10

UseBackgroundResize=0

UseForegroundControl=0

UseFGCGetActiveWindow=0

UseFGCGetForegroundWindow=0

UseFGCFixedWindowPosition=0

EnableExtraKey=0

ShowFps=0

UseCursorClip=0

UseBackgroundPriority=0

DDrawBltWait=-1

Border=1

But seems the ASI ignores the line Border=1 I've changed for some reason... game is Windowed but still launches in borderless mode and it doesn't seems to want to change at all... I don't have clue why this isn't working at all.

Because it doesn't work. Sometimes game specific patches needed to be applied to get the desired result. Border works correctly in some games, in some games it doesn't, just like the windowed mode itself.

[Silent]

Turns out Alt-F4 never worked in III/VC/SA but correcting it is simple... probably a good idea to push it into SilentPatch?

Fixing SAMP trolling?

Does this mean.. III/VC/SA also never accepted "close buttons"?

[Silent]

Nope, that's what I thought but they did - R* message pump just doesn't let any Alt + [X] hotkeys through.

 

EDIT:

Means it never acknowledged Alt + Tab too... wonder if it makes a difference.

Edited June 26, 2016 by Silent

[mirh]

Wtf?

Alt-tab always worked for me.

[Silent]

Yes, because it's being processed by desktop (I think) but other windows might be notified of that event too. So some stock behaviour might've been broken by this somehow.

Seems you're need to fix only Windowed Mode for San Andreas on your Ultimate ASI Loader because I've just tried and I found on GTA Vice City both border / Title Bar options works just fine unlike GTA San Andreas.

Also, one last request to you: can upload a download mirror of your Ultimate ASI Loader to GTAGarage (if you didn't already) and to add Readme text file with description and instructions how people to use it? With this I think to stop spamming Silent' thread...

I can't fix wndmode.dll, there's no source code.

GTAGarage? I'm not touching that trash(at least not until updated version comes out). As for the readme, it's available on github. No point to include it inside the archive, if you ask me. Edited June 26, 2016 by ThirteenAG

OK then.

Or maybe is something wrong on my side.

Ok, I'm quoting myself to take back my words. I tested again and everything is working fine (and like on PS2) with the Ped Speech Patch, so I hope you will include it into SilentPatchVC, fit totally on it seriously.

Okay, so I can't actually post the error message because it doesn't let me copy-paste it. Could someone still upload the previous version?

[Silent]

How am I supposed to fix the issue you're having then?
