Better restarting, 1.45 is coming tomorrow which fixes the pickups problems by the way.

I created a folder with new version and tried, it crashes everytime. It loads american.gxt and kills itself.

I will try to finish the game on 1.43 if the crashes let me. Unless 1.45 has something really good in it.

You cannot load saves from previous versions, it breaks the game.

1.44 removes the autosave that is breaking the mission states.
1.45 fixes the pickups disappearing and duping (making the map pickups and money broken).

It's not about something really good, 1.45 is removing 99% of the issues and is way more stable.

Good afternoon.

I downloaded the mod, unpacked it into a folder, transferred the audio folder to GTA SA - The Challenge, then clicked on gta-sa.exe, a sign came out, clicked Cointinue on it, but nothing happened. Don't know the solution to the problem?

Hello, if you don't get an error message try to start the game as admin.

 

You can try to put the folder in a different place like Desktop for a test, game doesn't launch if put in some folders for some reasons.

Здравствуйте, если вы не получили сообщение об ошибке, попробуйте запустить игру от имени администратора.

 

Вы можете попробовать поместить папку в другое место, например на рабочий стол, для проверки, игра не запускается, если поместить ее в некоторые папки по каким-то причинам.

I tried all this, but it didn't help.

So, I reinstalled the mod and cleared the GTA San Andreas User Files folder and the game started. But today I wanted to play again, the game won’t start. Don't know what the problem is? Do I need to clear something or did some error occur? Mod version 1.3

Just unzip the file, put the AUDIO folder inside, clear your savefiles and that's it.

Start the game as admin and make sure you have full rights on the folder.

If it's not starting then it's out of my control, look on your end.

I have already managed to launch it, but it only starts the first time, and the second time it doesn’t. Will I need to start playing again every time?

What's happening is not normal. The issue is out of my control.

 

If you don't use 1.45 or last version I will not provide help anyway.

Chad Valets are bugged. They start to continuously spawn after completing 555 We Tip if you are on foot and on a mission or on the phone. If you are nearby the valet hotel area they will chase you, which is really annoying in missions like Jizzy and Outrider. If you are far away, they will immediately despawn and respawn and you can see a flickering red marker on the minimap. I assume the should have been spawning during the Valet submission only, but they spawn during any mission instead.

Yes I'm aware and it's actually immensely funny. I will let it this way. Enjoy!

I have a problem. I downloaded version 1.45, unpacked it, moved the "audio" folder and launched it. The menu has launched, but when I try to start a new game, it gives an error (link below) This error occurs constantly. I deleted the folder with saves and settings, but did not touch the files from the archive with the mod. Win 7 x64

You need full admin rights or move the folder somewhere else

I set administrator rights for the shortcut, moved it from drive D to drive C - the error remained. It looks like it has something to do with fastmanlimit

It's not about the drive it's about the folder. You need admin rights on the app, not the shortcut.

 

That error is typical to not having admin rights on app or folder.

Fastmanlimiter just gives more info on what the problem is. It is rarely responsible for crashes.

[F0CUS]

Getting audio related crashes (I assume) when playing through the valet mission. Happens around level 2-3, I have installed your zip containing your audio files to prevent crashes but no such luck unfortunately. Trying to find full log but it seems to not be updating correctly.

I tried everything - even used your "audio" folder. I have admin rights - this is the first mod out of many I've completed with which this kind of garbage happens. Now another error has started popping up with "carcols.dat". I had this happen with version 1.2, but there I think I changed the exe to another one and it seemed to work

Stop sending me these screens they are useless!

 

You need to send me the full crash log and the last loaded file is not explicitely related to the crash.

If you don't play the LAST VERSION, don't report problems too.

 

99% of the issues are because you have either a 32 bits system, no admin rights or putting the folder in some unaccesible folder.

If you don't respect those things or read the readme fully do not bother to reply.

By last version, I assume you mean 1.45? 

I will keep going through troubleshooting steps like you mentioned, but I know for certain I have a 64 bit system and there is admin rights for the filepath.

fastman limitadjuster still isn't spewing a log out for me, so I'll keep digging for that around.

It's written 1.45 (last version) on the main post.
 

If you read the other answers, people who had the same issues were people not putting the challenge in a folder where they had the full rights and they thought so.

"this is the first mod out of many I've completed with which this kind of garbage happens"

Try to blame the mod while you don't even execute basic instructions (like changing the .exe thinking you are so clever but it will break the game, very nice).

 

I did a full speedrun of the challenge 1.44 live and had 1 crash out of 10 hours.
I did a 16 hours session 1.45 with snow mod on top of it and had 3 crashes (1 snow related).

 

I've seen multiple people playing the mod on streams and videos and they said the mod was super easy to install so please try every solution, read other answers on the post before writing so hastely.

Im about to start a 100% run, apart every collectible change, this is the same as vanilla SA ?

There is documentation about the rewards for the activities ? ( Collectible, Fire Cop Emergency max lvl, ect.. )

i must run like in the vanilla SA or you have some advice ? ( I already have your tool to track collectible in this mod )

Snapshots and first 100 tags are the same. 50 extra tags are in SF and LV. Horseshoes replaced by Chips in new locations (desert + LV). Sweet's Toys are everywhere and they replace oysters.
All collectibles can be obtained without a jetpack. For some you might need a heli though.

 

Almost every reward has been modified or spiced up. To get full insights you need to read all the changelogs but they contain lots of spoilers.

All the side-missions can be started similarly to vanilla and same things give %.

 

I highly recommend doing 5 unique stunts and getting 5 Sweet's toys as early as possible.

For vigilante the answer can be found in Easter Basin base or Area 69.

You can buy gang territories after "Home Coming", they appear as pink markers on the map, you'll need 300k$ total.

 

I'm currently having issues with my computers so I won't be able to diagnostic or fix issues for a while.

Saying that since there are still some minor issues but nothing breaking the game (1.45).

Hi there!

I started playing on 1.45 again, and have been trying to 100% it, seeing as you've considered it the "final version" for now, and it has been quite fun, creative and challenging! Great job! However, after completing Tanker Commander as the first mission for Catalina, I tried the first Trucking mission, failed, and loaded the autosave that was done after the mission. But the game crashes everytime I load it. The only other mod I had installed was Faster Clothes Change, from Junior_Djjr. I have tried running the .exe as Admin, removing Faster Clothes Change, moving the game to my Desktop and running it in Windows XP SP3 Compatibility Mode, but to no avail.

Here is a download link to my save file and the cleo & fastman92 logs: https://pixeldrain.com/u/VWcrDaQX

Hopefully you can aid me in this (as soon as you can, just read your comment about your PC. Take your time!). Thank you!
