incorrect .ide flags I assume, not all roads have the flag for this effect enabled.

Hmm.
Any advice on how to correct it?
I am up to doing it myself, but I have no experience with this. I assume I would need to open the .asi file and edit it. Any advice on what software to use and what to look for when enabling the flags for all roads?

It's not the asi at fault, it's the games map files, you'll need to find the IDE file for each map zone affected and then find the road name to add the flag number to it.

Easiest way is downloading a mod that fixes it for the vanilla files: https://www.mixmods.com.br/2017/06/corrigir-locais-sem-reflexo-no-chao-molhado-da-chuva/

Hmm... Thanks, but this file actually makes all the surfaces reflect light. Even sand... and that looks kinda off. I might try and do my own version. If I find a good tool. Any advice on Map editor that would recognise flags?

Sand/grass/etc. will reflect light if they're part of the road model. Nothing you could do about it unless you split up roads as seperate models (that'd be a huge undertaking though).

[vavrinko]

I meant the sand/grass that is in the wilderness though. In Vice City e.g. the sand on the beach does not reflect the lights.

Edit: I know what you mean now... dang it... Thanks for the advice anyway. And for the fix.

These games are surely great, nonetheless they have some issues. This modification attempts to fix some of them.

Featured fixes:

GTA SA: (last update: 22.02.2020) 

  Reveal hidden contents

Fixes which are bolded are supported in 1.0, Steam and Rockstar Games Launcher versions. Other fixes require 1.0.

 

• 14ms frame delay has been removed. As a result, game now locks properly on 30 FPS instead of 25 FPS
• More precise frame limiter, reducing lag spikes a bit when playing with Frame Limiter on
• Game timers now tick in a more accurate manner, making them not freeze if framerate exceeds 1000 frames per second; in other words, this fixes occasional freezes on fadeouts if playing with Frame Limiter off
• Mouse should not lock up randomly when exiting the menu on newer systems anymore
• Mouse vertical axis sensitivity now matches horizontal axis sensitivity
• Mouse vertical axis does not lock during camera fadeins now
• NUM5 is now bindable (like in 1.01)
• 16:9 resolutions are now selectable (like in 1.01)

• Lights now get casted on vehicles and peds properly - previously, they'd dissapear under some conditions
• In addition, when playing on Visual FX Quality higher than low, the game will now cast up to 6 lights on each model both indoors and outdoors (on Low details, game's stock behaviour has been kept - allowing up to 4 lights per model outdoors and 6 indoors)
• Muzzle flash looks better now
• Muzzle flash will now show up when firing the last bullet from the clip
• Coronas' don't have a Z test forced all the time now - as a result, sunglare now matches original PS2 version
• With User Tracks automatic scan enabled, MP3 playback will now work properly if QuickTime is not installed
• User Tracks now supports the FLAC codec (Only 8/16/24bits, Mono/Stereo and up to 48Khz)

• Colliding with another car will now damage proper parts on both cars - previously, both cars got damaged the same way
• Fixed a crash on car explosions - most likely to happen when playing with a multimonitor setup
• Fixed a crash when entering advanced display options on a dual monitor machine after: starting game on primary monitor in maximum resolution, exiting, starting again in maximum resolution on secondary monitor.

• Fixed a glitch where random cars would end up being impounded to garage, replacing player's vehicles
• Very long loading times will now loop loading screens, as opposed to fading to white

• Bombs in cars stored in garages now save properly
• Fixed an issue which would cause games to freeze if III/VC/SA were running at the same time
• Streaming has been greatly improved during Supply Lines mission (or more general, any time when using an RC vehicle) - it now behaves as expected, as opposed to displaying LODs way too quickly

• Setting a BMX on fire will not set CJ on fire anymore
• Keyboard input latency decreased by one frame
• Rhino does not gain extra wheels after being fixed anymore

• The game now handles ALL aspect ratios properly. That means the game will not be horribly scretched when playing in widescreen anymore.
• The game now defaults to borderless windowed mode. This change gets rid of a DirectDraw bug on Windows 8 and newer, which would make the game run in a window even if fullscreen is requested, also affecting performance negatively. Fullscreen borderless windowed mode does not have any of these issues, and looks identical to real fullscreen. Both windowed and borderless can be toggled via SPCMR2.ini file.
• When playing in windowed mode (borderless or not), the game can handle Alt+Tab properly now.
• All dependencies on registry keys have been removed. This makes the game fully portable and also fixes an occasional issue, where the game would not launch without Administrator privileges (due to an incorrect way the game was reading registry keys).
• Logging has been removed for good (since it would never log anything anyway). The game used to create a log file in C:\ which would often make the game require Administrator privileges to run.
• Regions can now be switched via the INI file. Depending on the game version, it has different region directories included in CountrySpecific directory. Now, if you have more than one region installed, you can easily switch between them.
• Field of View can now be adjusted via the INI file. You can select any value in 30.0 - 150.0 range.
• Support for non-Full installation methods has been removed. On the plus side, the game will never ask for a CD now.

CRASH AND BUG FIXES:

• Movie player has been rewritten to work on any operating system
• Game has been disallowed from writing registry keys to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - those writes were relayed to VirtualStore, potentially creating hard to troubleshoot crashes

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS:

• In addition to making movie player usable, it now can be configured to preserve aspect ratio of displayed movies instead of stretching them. Refer to SilentPatchGF INI file for more details
• An option to skip intro movies has been added to SilentPatchGF INI file
• An option to change FPS cap has been added to SilentPatchGF INI file (game defaults to 30FPS, but it appears like using 60FPS does not cause any major issues)
• Log file has been relocated to main game directory - so game does not attempt to write to C:\ when it crashes
• Game is now fully portable - dependency on installation path in registry has been removed
• Game now defaults to desktop resolution on the first launch - so it will not default to 800x600 anymore

• Fixed a crash/freeze on exit when using a 64-bit executable

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS:

• -64bit commandline option has been added - when it's used, the game will always attempt to launch using a 64-bit executable. This is useful for getting a 64-bit version of the game to work via Steam, as previously it was required to swap files around.

After installing your GTA III patch, the crosshair won't show up on screen unless I right click, why the hell is this happening?

I even tried removing your patch the crosshair problem still there, how?? help me fix this please and i am sure this happened after installing your patch

With this you just proved it's not caused by my patch. You must have also installed something else, presumably Classic Axis.

Hey Silent. I'm a long time fan of your patch and I was just wondering are there any plans for an update? It doesn't have to be in the near future or even next year or even two years.
Cheers!

[TopGamer007007]

I recently came across this Patch when I made my mind to revisit GTA:SA. I just want to know from all the OPs here, I successfully installed the SilentPatch for GTA:SA, but are there any Fixes/Patches that still needed to be installed on top of SilentPatch?

Because, I experienced after install SilentPatch, Widescreen issue still persists. If there are any Fixes/Patches that need to be installed and do not conflict with SilentPatch, Please list them here so I can begin playing the game!

Thanks!

Hi. Here you can find a little guide to SA modding in addition to the map improvement project:
https://github.com/UnitedMel/SA-Community-Map-Fixes
 

If you don't choose to use SA Community Map Fixes, ignore it and the "Optional Tweaks" section completely.
All the other mods mentioned on the page already fix the game to a very nice level.
However, you can try the pre-configured .ini files from the "scripts" map fixes folder.

Hey, @Silent... If you're reading this, I have a request for fixing one game since I'm seeing you're has fixes for non-GTA games and you're published them in your blog https://cookieplmonster.github.io ...

 

If you're playing Saints Row games, can you look to fix Saints Row IV? This game has NOTORIOUSLY stability issues! It often decides to randomly crash or hard freezes while sound still goes on, making the game pretty UNPLAYABLE! Also, after playing for long time, like 2-3 hours or more, there's cases where Saints Row IV can't exit properly as then upon quit will instead just hang! Seems the game doesn't run enough stable, especially on newer PCs with more than Dual-Core CPUs, and higher-end GPUs, especially with NVidia. I had Saints Row IV and it often kept crashing on my previous PC with Core 2 Quad 9450 and NVidia GT 730 2 GB DDR5 64-bit, and I ended with no other choice but do remove the game from my Steam Library as no single fix has worked for me. I think Saints Row IV NEEDS BADLY a Silent Patch addressing game's major stability issues, as publisher isn't working anymore on this game. You can check negative reviews of the game on Saints Row IV's Steam page as almost all users lists the game's crashing as the reason to refund the game...

Oh yeah, I experienced similar issues when playing Saints Row 4.

Have you tried:

1) running the game in compatibility mode for Windows 7

and

2) downgrading to the secret "beta" version of the game, that reverts it back to the state prior to the update that added Steam workshop support?

Have you tried:

1) running the game in compatibility mode for Windows 7

and

2) downgrading to the secret "beta" version of the game, that reverts it back to the state prior to the update that added Steam workshop support?

Yes, I has tried EVERYTHING possible (on both Windows 7 / 10):

 

Compatibility with Windows XP / 7 / 8;

Running the game as Administrator;

Disabling DEP;

Limit FPS to 60 or less (as some has suggested);

Both Workshop and pre-Workshop versions still CRASHES like hell for me. None of solutions worked for me, unfortunately...

 

I think Saints Row IV really needs a SilentPatch addressing game's stability issues! @Silent, please listen! This game is just INSANELY broken!

 

I also own Saint Row 2 and Saints Row The Third on Steam. Even Saints Row 2's crap PC port runs better as stability with less crashes than Saints Row IV. Saints Row The Third runs for me with literally ZERO crashes! But Saints Row IV - nope, this game just often hard freezes (like throwing some internal exception during gameplay) and people are forced to forcibly end the game via Task Manager! The game just doesn't work correctly on more recent hardware, @Silent...

AFAIK the beta branch is a pre-Workshop update as-is, which has never had stability issues. It's likely that you still have some mods or saves left over after reverting. I'm not buying a "it's broken on new hardware" claim, since only the evidence to the contrary exists.

@timams Whats the problem?

@Silent as always, the following isn't a request, but rather a simple inquiry. Is there any plans to to update your Wooting keyboard mod so that the analog input finally works for 3D era games? 

 

Also, I have always wondered is it possible to fix Hunter and Leviathan spawns on Verdant Meadows airstrip to make them both spawn there, not just one depending on our direction approach? Would be a subtle, but cool fix..

 

Cheers mate.

I found a bug when you let a hired grower take a picture of you next to the car and decide to cancel the photo, the camera disappears, on the video I showed how usual when you cancel the camera returns back to your hands and how it disappears if you approach the car, but if you don’t cancel and just take a picture then the camera will not disappear

A bit late but worth the wait. Following your bug report, I introduce a fix which finalises the somehow unfinished and/or hastily tested "be photographed" feature, addressing all of the issues known to date (such as this one). Download.

 

EDIT: I updated the script so that anyone can use it as a base for injecting some code into a particular streamed script regardless of being already running or still pending to start.

Is there a possible Radio EQ fix? Sometimes, even when it's off, it plays radio using the non-bassy 'bad' version, whilst sitting on a motorcycle, I am forced to turned EQ on and off again for that to fix itself until game restart

bully scholarship edition glitches:

-After you pull all the pranks and are getting ready to fight ted the boss of jocks the game crashe and if left black.

-A wardrobe in the form of a locker is seen. Due to a glitch however, it cannot be used to change clothes, but it was fixed in the Anniversary Edition.

-On occasion, regardless of whom he's fighting, Bryce can be heard saying "Get that badly dressed social reject out of here!" and "Hopkins, you don't belong here, get out!" These lines were meant to be exclusive to the mission Weed Killer, and in the audio files, they're listed as mission dialogue. However, due to a programming error, they are triggered as fight dialogue even in free roam.
