Weirdoutworld Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 For San Andreas PC v1.0 After installing a LOT of different HD texture packs on top of each other (like the Beautification project for example) & driving or flying around for about 10 minutes the game was causing the world to unload to LOD then crash 100% of the time. No matter which stream memory fix I used, no matter WHAT I did... It was infuriating & demoralizing. lol I was about to just give up on San Andreas all together. Last week I found an .exe file patch on my computer for San Andreas called "LargeAddress". It lets the game use 4gb of memory. No more pop-in, no more unloading to LOD, no more crashing after 5-10 minutes of travel with LOTS of HD textures. Unfortunately I cannot link it because I downloaded hundreds of files all at once so I cannot remember where I downloaded the "LargeAddress" GTA San Andreas patch from. Hopefully somebody can link it here. YES, it's an EXE file. YES, it's risky. But... It works. I'm creating this post because I could not find 1 documented case online where this patch helped somebody with this issue or is even talked about for that matter... If I would have found one, I would have learned about this patch a long time ago. It works. Delmor_S and Vishnuka 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it yet, but I will as soon as I get home. Your testimony gives me hope so thanks. pilscy, Vishnuka and Delmor_S 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not running GTA SA on native windows, I am using a MacBook Pro 2020 (M1 Chip - 8gb) Running Windows through Parallels. - because the specs, and the power I see the computer have, I said what the heck and installed My fav game of all time. Mods shouldn't be an issue right ? WRONG. I have installed and removed GTA so many time because it seem like I couldn't install a certain amount of mods. I mainly just wanted the game to look good but it always seem like the Par Memory Fix Low Enb Flickr Silent Stream Mem, 1, 1.1, 2 Cleo Memory mods (512 etc) Limit adjuster & Fastman's The game would run for about 3-5 mins and then crash. This is in 1920x1080x32. Lowest settings and still a crash. This happened multiple times before installing this mod you listed in the link. I tested the game and it ran for more that 10 mins, I was able to increase my resolution, and the frame rate stays the same. I tested it once so far so hoping it goes well moving forward.
