GTA: San Andreas Downgrader

 

2187444747.png

 

This downgrader will take the certain versions of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and downgrade them to their original version 1.0 counterparts.

Works With
- NewSteam r2 (including German) (12/9/14)
- Retail Second Edition (2.0) US

Why Downgrade?
Later versions of San Andreas over the years have made a number of changes to the game such as removing songs, textures and animations along with editing the game's script. They've also added in a few protections against things such as Hot Coffee. Due to these changes, a number of modifications such as SA-MP will outright reject new versions. This downgrader restores all the original files, not only making your copy a more complete San Andreas - but also enabling the use of popular modifications.

Known Issues
None known at the moment. Please let me know if you find anything.

I'm Crashing!
Try the following:

 

  • Deleting your gtasa.set file in "Documents/GTA San Andreas User Files" (Or use the "Delete gta-sa.set" option in the Tools menu)
  • Removing any modifications.
  • Remove any saved games from previous versions of the game (if this fixes it, read the topic again more carefully)
  • Delete the game from Steam, re-download it and then reapply the downgrader.
  • Still crashing? Check your computer setup for sh*tty programs and/or configuration. People have a tendency to blame the game/developers before checking their own crappy setup that's likely causing the issue.

OMG I HAVE TWO EXES
This is on purpose for compatibility reasons - they are both the exact same. The Steam release of San Andreas changed the EXE name - so Steam looks for gta-sa.exe when it attempts to launch San Andreas. Mods on the other hand look for gta_sa.exe as this was the original retail EXE name.

Legal
This downgrader relies on binary differences so no game files are being distributed. It requires a legally purchased copy of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas in order to work.

Video
Vadim M has created an excellent video demonstrating how to use the downgrader.

Download the full package and downgrade the game. you will have to install the mods manually.

The downloader launcher doesnt work properly. It says this:

 

Steam Community :: Guide :: The Ultimate Modding Guide for Grand Theft Auto:  San Andreas (The Downgrader Broke Edition!)

 

i've tried multiple times and it keeps giving me this message. What do i do?

Guys. Something weird just happened. The nexus services for me are back up, maybe. But opening and closing the application may give different results. I have had it give me the error and sometimes not. Anyone else have it back?xYbHXSG.png

For some reason the game crashes after this screen.

It's weird because I played GTA SA with the Downgrader patch last year and no problem like this happened
