    Episode 2: ua-cam.com/video/IOsIuoON_2E/v-deo.html
    Looks like there's a superior crash logger now:
    www.mixmods.com.br/2021/06/crashinfo.html
    It's unfortunate this came out a few days after this video's release, but oh well. Use this as well as SCRLog to have the best crash logging available.
    Also apparently people can't load their saves when they use Community Map Fixes. You should start new game once you've installed all the mods you want, because you can run into other issues from not doing so (during playthroughs).

    It is quite late to comment this, but I thought that it might be useful to other people who followed this guide.
    To anybody downloading the Community Map Fixes, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!!! That causes all the crashing that everybody is experiencing. You could do all the steps right, but the thing is that this map fix mod crashes your game. Just skip it and continue doing everything else like normally. Otherwise, your game will either crash or freeze.
    Edit: You have to use the mod without project 2dfx as that's what's crashing the game. Community map fixes causes problems when project 2dfx is installed, so remove project2dfx to use the modpack.

That was until I decided to watch all the video and BAM! everything worked fine. Thanks a lot. But I have installed a mod (first person mod) and I have added a car (didn't replace but added) the problem is that everytime I am in an added car and I get into first person everything crashes.

    There are additional files that come with some of these mods, but you MUST follow this videos instructions 100% if you want your game to work properly

    Hey Modders..!!
    First of al... Absolutely great Vid, and Thanx. Best one I've seen to date... Period.!!
    So..., I Mod myself, and I could really use some Help....!!! I'm in the process of reworking GTA SA Big Gangster Mod, which is a Mod originally by Jeansowaty that adds a ton of additional gangs to the game. So far I got 27 or 28 gangs in addition to the original 8. LS is done, LV mostly done, and still working on LV, SF and the Desert.
    The Gameplay it's self is "hell on wheels", most of the skins are high quality HD models from different artists... "Yeah.., they're Artists", that I made teams of, and it's just not possible to get boared with the game anymore..... AT ALL... This was made for Marathon Gaming!!!
    For example, I got the West Side Ballas splitting from the Ballas Gang, and are in conflict with East Side Ballas, Front Yard, and Rollin Heights Ballas, with support from the Vagos, all separately. The San Andreas Bikers being attacked by the "Evil" Lost MC, Dirty Fam Cop.. gonna add more dirty and clean cops, Temple in conflict with The Lost MC, The LV Mafia trying to move in on The Red Dragon Casino, speaking of Red Dragon.., The Red Dragon Tong LS in conflict with LS Rifas on one side, and Grape Ballas on the other, me constanly being followed by LS Vice by use of the Undercover Patrol 2.0 Mod. And with the addition of Global wars, Ex Gang Wars, and the Driveby Mod, you get drivebys, and gangs taking over the turfs of other gangs, which you are sometimes called upon to participate in. At times gangs that you're cool with will turn on you and try to expand their turfs. The Triads territory has been divided by The Mountain Clouds, The White Lotus Tong, The Black Dragon Clan, and The Red Dragon Tong. And to that, I've added Take Money and Run Mod. I plan to add the Yakuza, a branch of the Mafia, the Vagos, and more.
    really
    I've seen a great many of AWSOME and AMAZING versions of SA, but nothing like this.
    IT'S MAAADD...!! MADE FOR MARATHONS!!.
    ✋👿 PROBLEM IS....
    I CAN'T GET THE ACCURSED THING STABLE....!!!!!! Ok.., let met first stop biting down on my bottom lip in extreme anger and frustration....
    Ok..., I'm back.
    So that's where you all come in😁 People who love the game, and would like to participate in helping to make one of the greatest Mods for any game ever, and not because I say, but because it really is, you'd have to play it, should hit me up.
    You can find me on FB.. excusee me.., META, on Big Gangster Mod Advanced. The page is stilllll a work in progress, so it's nothing spectacular...yet. You can have the game as is so far for free, especially those who help, otherwise, I wouldn't want to release a version that's NonFunc.
    So..., look me, and hit me up.

    13:00 What you've shown here is a mod menu. A trainer is a separate program that modifies the game (usually to give cheat-like effects, such as unlimited money, health, etc). All these mods that call themselves trainers are in fact not trainers. Now, don't get me wrong here, I'm not bashing these mod menus, I in fact highly advise anyone and everyone to use them over the real .exe trainers, as they are 99% of the time cleaner and better than the real trainers. I just wanted to clear up a misconception.

    I can't recommend that you follow this guide, the downgrader linked doesn't result in the necessary 13.7mb executable, instead it is a smaller one that doesn't work and will not recognize any mods, I needed to watch a different, more updated guide for it which provided a file that was double in size.
    The part about the essentials is way too rushed and it was a headache to setup, I ended up needing to follow a different, better guide.
    Finally I couldn't get the community fixes mod to work, I recommend you skip that part at least as it is outdated and if you follow the setup guide the mod creators give step by step, installing even the optionals, you may still end up like me, needing to delete it for the game to load (gets stuck in loading screen)

      The community fixes mod has been redundant for a few years now. You can pretty much install every mod on here without it, and you'll be fine

    If your game doesn't launch with Community Map Fixes, do not forget to install IMG archives: mega.nz/file/8I8g1Tra#ee25hFw-X52Y11DOoDZzqCixvV-dTAgivBO9hzrGd6M Install them and the game will launch fine

    I had already modded my gta sa, and I wanted to add another mod for the tag locations. It’s been awhile since I have modded, and I screwed it up. My game wouldn’t load. Had to uninstall it, and when I installed it again it would load but then close and I remembered it did that because it can’t play on modern pc’s so here I am ready to learn again 👍

    Stupid question:
    But does it really take, I don't know, 20+ minutes for it to (not) load?
    So, I followed the video. Step-by-step.
    The game boots up. Start screen.
    But when I try to either load the complete save or start new game, I'm stuck at the loading screen even after the white bar loading thing is at its max.

    I definitely wanna try modding my GTA SA now! Does modding need more space on the hard drive? I don't know anything about it, I just know that my laptop is a cheap pos with not near enough oomph to run the definitive editions...not even the most basic of the three, GTA III so I'm hoping mods will make my GTA SA experience better! I've completed all the missions, quite a few of the side missions, with no cheats on my iPhone and that was a feat for me for sure. I'm not thrilled with vice city on my phone at all because the physics of driving is completely off, but I'm going to try to transition back to laptop playing here and there.

    • @catsmackaroo
      @catsmackaroo  2 роки тому

      I'd say so yeah. I mean it depends on what mods you want, but you will also be creating backups.
      GTA SA size is around 4.5GB. So after you create a backup, that's already 9GB used without any mods.
      Whether or not your computer is a piece of 💩... you should get an external harddrive or something to get more space, if it's an issue

    the save hits the .col limit, so whenever i try to load the save you showed in the video, the game crashes. the error for hitting the col limit is 0x015632B0
    help?

    • @usrw29292
      @usrw29292 3 роки тому

      everything worked fine, until the part when i had to use the save to test to see if the trainer works. thats where the problem began, because loading the save just crashes the game. i tested, and any other save (checked if they're compatible with version v1.0) will crash the game when trying to load it. Im sure this is a common problem and i would be happy if you can help me with it as it will help others when looking at it in the comments section and maybe update the video on this issue. Thank you a lot !

    • @usrw29292
      @usrw29292 3 роки тому

      the reason i know the error is because the essentials list updated and now the crash info mod is included (that if the error displayed by the crash info mod was the actual error) and i tried to use fastman92's limit adjuster in order to adjust the limit of .col, but i dont think thats the actual error, because it is explained as if the crash was caused by a mod that uses .col files, but i didnt have anything like that, and i have no idea how to use the limit adjuster anyway.

    Hi, just to inform you, the GTA SA dowgrader download link is not working, the mega website does not load, but it does load for the v2 to v1 version and the other GTA games.

    • @kopioshu
      @kopioshu 3 роки тому

      Im not a pro in this, but if your game crashes when you load your savefiles then its because your saves are not on the same version of the game (You can convert your steam saves to version 1 saves online really easily). Also you maybe uninstalled the game wrong way and some files have been left behind. If its neiter of these then maybe try another downgrader or just simply delete your options file, idk.
      Im not an expert, but maybe it will work... hope you will succed tho!
