GTA San Andreas Crashing on startup when using SilentPatch

[Matti132]

When I try to play Gta sa whit silentpatch it crashes on startup when I click the play button on steam. It only happens when I have silentpatch if I remove it it will work fine but when I have silentpatch it crashes I don't know why I have the ASI loader and I believe everything that's required. My gta sa is downgraded to 1.0. I want to also say when I have the silentpatch on the directory of the game it makes the game startup normally but silentpatch does not work when im in-game. So when I put it in the modloader folder then it does not want to start the game up

Though I don't have the Steam version, what I did was install CLEO 4 (which works as an .asi loader), and then put the SilentPatch script in the game's main folder. But make sure the game's version is set to 1.0, or SilentPatch won't work. ModLoader was supposedly made to make modding easier, but I've read many cases of people who had problems with it. If you have any other mods to install, I recommend you learning how to do it the "permanent" way (I mean, editing game files).

I did what you said but it did not work but when i put SilentPatch on the Cleo folder I thought it worked because the intro of the game was different from what I had before but then in-game I did check if SilentPatch working it was not working and also for some odd reason my mouse in-game stopped working so I could not move the camera I tried whit a controller same and fps counter was gone. And that was when I had the SilentPatch on the Cleo folder and when I take it off everything is back to normal.

Extract from SilentPatch's ReadMe.txt:

 

INSTALLATION

As SA doesn't load ASI files by default, you'll need an ASI loader. In case you don't have one (if you use any ASI plugin such as CLEO, you can skip this step), you can download an ASI loader created by myself from the following link (under 'Silent's ASI Loader'):

https://cookieplmonster.github.io/mods/gta-sa/#asiloader

For Rockstar Games Launcher version, you are better off using Ultimate ASI Loader, as launcher forcibly overwrites modified game files even if automatic updates are disabled:

https://github.com/ThirteenAG/Ultimate-ASI-Loader/releases

Rest of the installation is easy as pie. Just extract the archive contents to your SA directory and that's all. Make sure you check the INI!

Alternatively, San Andreas Mod Loader can be used to install this plugin (by the time this mod was created, Mod Loader supports 1.0 ONLY):

As you can see, after you install CLEO all you have to do is copy both the extracted .asi and .ini to the game's main folder. Also in ReadMe.txt, the supported versions are:

 

SUPPORTED GAME VERSIONS

* GTA SA 1.0 (all versions)
* GTA SA newsteam r2 (9 Dec 2014; partial support)
* GTA SA Rockstar Games Launcher version (partial support)

 

So I'd think the Steam version is supported, given "newsteam r2" is mentioned, but I can't assure you anything because I don't know exactly which is that version.

It's difficult to help, because of different versions

Please read this tuto: Modding GTA San Andreas for Beginner's

watch this vid: Downgrading, ASI Loader, Modloader & CLEO

check out the downgrader topic

and if you still have problems, then ask in the downgrader topic

My bad guys, it was actually working from the beginning when I had it in my directory. When I checked if it was working in-game I did it the wrong way I don't know if I read wrong or not but in the 1.0 version of the game that I have when exploding a car the doors fall of and the wheels but the color of the car does not change what I mean is that the cars do not become black/dark when exploded. So I read on SilentPatch fixes list that now the cars do become black/dark when exploded. I don't know if I read it wrong or something but when I go in-game whit SilentPatch it does not fix that issue for some odd reason. But all other fixes whit SilentPatch does work. So when I tested the game whit SilentPatch that time I only tested the game by seeing if the cars become black/dark when they explode but they did not and so I thought SilentPatch did not work for me but it actually does. By the way, do you guys know any mod that fixes that issue whit car explosion color?
