Thank you!!! Just needed this. It's great fun speedrunning SA and I've only gone through half the LS, and got supercop'd 3 times already :). I wanted to do it since I found out speedrunning GTA was even a thing 2-3 years ago, but I was too lazy to figure how to set it all up and practice, now this comes in very handy. Still my SA crashes too often I think, I know it's inevitable for it to crash, but mine does after ~45 mins of playing. WIll see about that, might just plug in my old PC and play..
Thank you very much for this, it really helps illustrate it for me lol I was hoping to try learning this game but I found the whole downgrading concept daunting
Nice, one more video than expected. You know, I'm gonna be so sad when this series is over, it's so interesting and well done! Are you gonna do anything similar afterwards?
Over at my twitch channel I am doing San Andreas speedruns 5 days a week, with the goal to get each better each day; I'm calling it the "2018 grind" - I plan to document my progress with recaps on this channel (coming soon) and a public word document where I recap each day and go over how to improve and what to work on, along with anything else of note.
Running Livesplit as an admin hasn't fixed my auto split problem. It starts at the beginning of the run but doesn't switch splits when I beat a mission. Anyone know what I should do? Great vid man. Been casually running this for a few years. Glad someone collated all this info into one place.
Todd Parker is the "split" function ticked in your autosplitter? Have you tried restarting livesplit? Also try unticking "reset" and resetting manually. I've had problems with the auto reset feature
Hey dude good video I just have 1 question: As soon as I try to skip the rockstar spray can intro another window called "active movie window" opens itself up which automatically causes the game to crash. Have you had similar experiences/Can you help me?
I checked it years ago, all 1.01 patch updates is exe file. It actually doesn't remove Hot Coffee at all but also replaces some files like main.scm with original versions on case you modded them.
Man, because of you and that tutorial I actually want to speedrun gta sa now ;) Very good tutorial. You are doing great work. (Greetings from Poland btw) you got viewers from across the ocean too ;>
well actually what's the point for 1.01? I thought it's about duping but since Hugo One dups too, but with a gamepad that works, maybe there is no sence to update to 1.01. But without 1.01 version autosplit just doesn't work.
When i want to run the game from DXWnd it just says "cannot find 800x600x32 video mode" I followed every step in the video but it just doesn't work? Can someone help please. I also don't get the window pop up "please select the device to use" he gets, so idk... Edit: Nvm it did that when trying to launch from the folder too, so i renamed the exe from "gta_sa.exe" to "gta-sa.exe" and i was able to launch it from the folder, but when trying to launch from dxwnd it just doesn't work, i also tried reverting the exe before i renamed it and still nothing, it doesn't even show an error message now... WTF is this shit.I really wanted to run the game but i can't. I don't have a second monitor. But i shouldn't have to have one if this damn thing would work.
Hey Kz, bit late but just saw the josh speedrun and he mentioned you have a tutorial for SA, can you tell me your width and height you normally use in Dxwnd for San Andreas ?
when i double click the gta sa icon in DXWnd it doesn't open the game. i did everything as shown in the video and it even worked the first time i clicked on it but now it just does nothing.
I have a problem, so. I opened GTA SA in Windowed Mode and LiveSplit but when I left-click the mouse on the GTA SA and I pressed the hotkey on LiveSplit timer, the timer can't start please fix it. Thank You!
Is using dinput8.dll even allowed under speedrunning rules constituting no mods? Apparently you can also fix the mouse issues by keeping a controller plugged in
As Luke said it's an allowed fix. I do have an Xbox One wired controller that I sometimes use with my PC, but if I leave it plugged in during SA runs it'll hijack my inputs and do weird shit until I unplug it ):
Awesome, now I can alt tab out of the game without fucking it up. Thumbs up! EDIT: One problem, this doesn't work well with SAMP. When I try to run it on SAMP it tries to connect to my local IP or idk, it just doesn't open the SAMP menu, it goes straight to GTA SA online?
Hey kz_frew. I have Win7 64bit, i3@4160 and GTX750Ti. I'm facing crashes whenever there is raining in the game. Sometimes even without it. You think there is a solution for that? I have just tried downgrading gta sa to 1.01 but it doesn't help. I would really like finish the game once again.
Anyone elses SA crashes to a black screen and CTRL + ALT + DEL doesnt work and the mouse locks up. Usually happens after dying after a long time of leaving the game idle?
even though i did everything as you showed on the dxw, the game still runs fullscreen and it is so frustrating, what can i do? anyone else with the same issue?
Hi Ben Everything worked until the very end I didn't change the mouse sensitivity or something but my mouse sensitivity is like crazy high and I don't know what to do about it. Can you, or someone else in the comments, help me out?
Dude may I ask u sth when i click to download the dupeless or any% file on the links u put it sends me the file but in version that it looks like its deleted. As u download it, it says "choose the program u want to use to open this file" please help
The V1 downgrader stops working for me, and my pc gets very laggy.. Dont know what's wrong but it always stops responding when I try to downgrade it. Anyone else had this problem?
I've set my comparisons to "Personal best" and "Game time", but my segment time just shows up as dashes instead of actual time. Can anyone please help me out?
dxwnd just doesnt work for me. Followed every step, and tried messing around, and still cant get it to work. Google searched about the issue too... anybody knows why the game does not want to run? and if i run unhooked it runs but in fullscreen of course...
I run gta sa on win 10 and i have this issues : -mouse dosen't work (works on compatibility mode windows 98) -I can't hold the phone call in driving school -I can't hold the phone call after fish in a barrel and other problems, what to do ?
Ben, everytime I try to update the 1.0 exe I get a "old file does not exist" error. I really don't know what I did wrong since I've followed every single step in your tutorial. Do you know how to solve this problem?
"old file does not exist." I copied my steam version to another folder, downgraded it, deleted both .exe's, extracted the 1.0 iinto the folder, ran the 1.01 upgrader, selected the gta_sa.exe and all it says is "old file is not found", any help. Thanks i just fixed it by moving the 1.01 straight into the directory without the No More Hot Coffee Patch
Hi, i did everything you said in the video but when i hit start game and i enter, the timer won't start by itself, any specific reasons for this to happen?
When I downgraded, I can't find the downgraded file. I tried to search in the entire pc, but it won't pop up. When I tried to downgrade my gta again, it said it was already done. So, I tried to upgrade to 1.01, but when the program was running, it said the old file wasn't found. Where does your 1.0 file go when it's downgraded?
Dude, you single handedly made me wanna start speedrunning GTA games, you're awesome. Keep up the good work!!!
Jyneath watxh adam ak as well.. the chaoz run of gta vc
zoiuduu thanks, I'll take a look
i recommend u debuting in the channel with this video. its very intense
To all people asking for LV video:
1) yes we are all waiting for it
2) yes he is working on it
3) don't ask for it as if he owed it to you because he does not
So be nice and patient, it will come guys.
CUTIRIARTE but what about the LV video????
Alright I got it all, but why do you blow up Ryder's car though?
SONIC lol
@@qwertgfdsaful it's to skip a cutscene later.
Thank you!!! Just needed this. It's great fun speedrunning SA and I've only gone through half the LS, and got supercop'd 3 times already :). I wanted to do it since I found out speedrunning GTA was even a thing 2-3 years ago, but I was too lazy to figure how to set it all up and practice, now this comes in very handy. Still my SA crashes too often I think, I know it's inevitable for it to crash, but mine does after ~45 mins of playing. WIll see about that, might just plug in my old PC and play..
Are you using one core affinity?
I was using all 8 lol, now I've set it to 2 because 1 was laggy and it's worked fine for an hour of gameplay, hope it continues. Thanks again!
@Elias Uziel dumb bots
Thank you very much for this, it really helps illustrate it for me lol I was hoping to try learning this game but I found the whole downgrading concept daunting
Thank you so much bro! Finally i can play vice city in a borderless windowed mode and see the livesplit timer.
omg thank you so much, i've been looking for a video like this everywhere
Gonna set this up because of seeing u stream so many times that i know feel like doing it, big thanks for this. Keep up the good streams
Nice, one more video than expected. You know, I'm gonna be so sad when this series is over, it's so interesting and well done!
Are you gonna do anything similar afterwards?

Damn that's some crazy effort dude, keep it up
vamos nev!!!!
I was actually thinking about asking you this last night, and lucky enough you make a video about it.. thanks
this will come in handy when i will decide to run it one day LUL
Oh shit PogChamp
0:28 no more 🥲
Thanks man, you really saved my ass on almost giving up on a window mode SA, Thanks a bunch man
Well thanks for making this, now i understood what i was doing wrong, and ive got everything set up, thanks for this video

Nah, it doesnt like it. I went digging and tried a bunch of things. Looks like its pressing a button to split for me lol. Thanks for the suggestions!
lol i dont even do speedrun and have no plans for it but i just want to hear his commentary even though its just a tutorial xD
Karan Patil omg same
thanks for the tutorial, I can finally start running myself!
Broke my install. Gonna take a shot in the dark and say I fucked it up.

KZ Crew is the type of guy to stop at a redlight during a gta speedrun
h3ntai_ The type of guy to attempt a pacifist run of Manhunt 2.
thank you, for the great video. are those still your splits or have they changed?
Man, because of you and that tutorial I actually want to speedrun gta sa now ;) Very good tutorial. You are doing great work. (Greetings from Poland btw) you got viewers from across the ocean too ;>
I see a new video from KZ, i like and fav!
thank you bro !!! Now i can start making speedruns in youtube
Just found this tutorial thx dude very useful video :)
Lovely tutorial thank you KZ :)
Rockstar has removed the site, does anybody have a backup of the patches?
KZ, You Are Just Awesome !!! 🥇🥇✌️✌️
Duuude nice! 19 K subscribers !
DXDWND doesn't launch the game at all. Did everything as shwon in the video
Same. Anyone know how to fix this?
@@mazedeux same here :/
run as administrator
Wooh. Finally DID IT with your video. But now I can't make the GINput work with this...Hugo_One plays with it somehow and on that version.
Alice Cooper you sure he does 1.01? Ginput looks to support 1.0 but I'm not sure it translates to 1.01
KZ_FREW shit. So what to do...as far as I can see autosplit doesn’t really work without 1.01 patch. Guess should play with keyboard now. Ok.
well actually what's the point for 1.01? I thought it's about duping but since Hugo One dups too, but with a gamepad that works, maybe there is no sence to update to 1.01. But without 1.01 version autosplit just doesn't work.

Why did you blow up Ryders car?
Also a obs tutorial would be nice if you ever get around to it
That 60 steam messages tho
You're a god at filling time
NoSquidSid lmao thank you
Do you run any other categories than any%? I would love to see an all missions run of yours!
I've been learning 100% off and on. It's a lot to take in and I don't have all the time to learn it, so it's taking me a while
got a question! when you downgrading it, will there be all original songs be back. I heard the Steam Version has not all songs.
when i double click the gta sa icon in DXWnd it doesn't open the game. i did everything as shown in the video and it even worked the first time i clicked on it but now it just does nothing.
Run DxWnd as an administrator
You saved me, saludos!
Will you do similar video about vice city speedrun setup?
I have a problem, so. I opened GTA SA in Windowed Mode and LiveSplit but when I left-click the mouse on the GTA SA and I pressed the hotkey on LiveSplit timer, the timer can't start please fix it.
Thank You!
HELP
For some reason dxwnd won't even start SA, it worked some months ago, now I double click, and it won't give a shit
You fix it?????? i have the same problem
???
remove -skip in dxwnd settings for the game, worked for me
plss I have the same problem
I was lucky and bought the trilogy for $15 a couple of weeks ago (San Andreas alone was $5)
It's 5 AM what do you mean by "good day"
is this downgrade work with physical EU v2.0 copy of the game?
Is using dinput8.dll even allowed under speedrunning rules constituting no mods? Apparently you can also fix the mouse issues by keeping a controller plugged in

When i put my frame limiter on the game is just lagging around, about 14 to 16 fps every time :(
Same :(
Thank You !! =D
Nice video
When i try to patch it to 1.01 it says old file does not exist, help meh
I have the same issue, and I followed this tutorial step by step.
Don't put .exe on the end of the 1.0 patch and should work
Anyone help? I did the -skip thing but to no effect. Is something wrong with my game files?
12:50 hey I got a problem, I did add -skip on the path but it doesn't skip it at all. Anyone know why?
Hey so I did everything but the -skip thing doesn't work for me. Any ideas?
Where can i download the icons
Hey kz_frew. I have Win7 64bit, i3@4160 and GTX750Ti. I'm facing crashes whenever there is raining in the game. Sometimes even without it. You think there is a solution for that? I have just tried downgrading gta sa to 1.01 but it doesn't help. I would really like finish the game once again.
To me it says "There is no Auto Splitter available"
Anyone elses SA crashes to a black screen and CTRL + ALT + DEL doesnt work and the mouse locks up. Usually happens after dying after a long time of leaving the game idle?
Id say you wait if you think the game is too expensive. I got it for 3$ during a steam sale last year
Thank You
will live split save your times? so you know you improve when you do another run?
Yes, you can right click -> save splits to keep your times. LiveSplit will also ask if you want to save anything before you close it
thanks
even though i did everything as you showed on the dxw, the game still runs fullscreen and it is so frustrating, what can i do? anyone else with the same issue?
Hi Ben
Everything worked until the very end
I didn't change the mouse sensitivity or something but my mouse sensitivity is like crazy high and I don't know what to do about it.

You finally upgraded (more like downgraded) to windows 10 gg
The V1 downgrader stops working for me, and my pc gets very laggy.. Dont know what's wrong but it always stops responding when I try to downgrade it. Anyone else had this problem?
Anyway to increase FPS seems like it's running so much worse than mine is?
I've set my comparisons to "Personal best" and "Game time", but my segment time just shows up as dashes instead of actual time. Can anyone please help me out?
