Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 1.01 Patch

[Gumbo ...]

Rockstar has released a patch for the well known PC game Grand Theft
Auto: San Andreas. These patches prevent and remove the "Hot Coffee"
modification. The "Hot Coffee" scenes were not intended to be part of
the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas experience. If your copy of Grand
Theft Auto: San Andreas for PC has been altered by the unauthorized
"Hot Coffee" download circulating on the Internet, or if you wish to
prevent your version from being so altered, download and install the
patch for your version of the game.

Latest Changes:

* Added support for 720p and 1080i HDTV resolutions (may also do
1080p, not sure)
* Version Number displayed on game title screen
* Issue fixed on machines where the OS has been updated (one OS
installed over top of another) and has 2 registry keys that point to
the users "My Documents" folder (we incorrectly used to assume the
Win2000 folder, now correctly uses the last installed OS
* Crash when entering advanced display options with only 32 meg of
video ram (32 meg of video ram is not supported and will only allow
use of 640*480 in 16 and 32 bit
* Crash when entering advanced display options on a dual monitor
machine after
* Destroyed cars now are correct colour
* Dirty cars now able to get clean
* Numpad 5 key is now mappable when re-defining controls
* Issue on all machines where certain collisions caused parts of
the audio system to crash (sound effects, cutscene audio - only radio
keeps going) - users know this as "Rain / Thunderstorm bug"
* Improvements to DVD streaming
* Audio problems in interior / exterior transitions and getting in
/ out of cars fixed
* Some fixes to ensure reverb is not present at certain save
points
* Improvements to dance game timings
* Crash occuring when using "user radio files" while the frame
limiter is disabled

Can't believe this patch still doesn't fix the damn "Mouse stops to
work after entering the menu screen" bug!!!

[t***@visto.com]

Can't believe this patch still doesn't fix the damn "cars dissappear
from the garages randomly" bug!!!

I mean it's real good news when your car fully modded Blade lowrider
dissappears. Maybe they should say random elves go around and steal
your car?

Or repaint them back to white every so often.

Except i never seemed to have these bugs on the ps2, usually if it
crashed it was cos my ps2 was overheating, quick clean of the vents
and it would be fine.

Improvements to dance game timings!!

awww was it too hard for you pc gamers ;-)

To be honest, I've not experienced any bugs, either.

(Ouch - that must be tempting fate.)

It's possible something hasn't compiled the same in the port to the PC, so
it could be to make it more akin to the PS2 version.

Whatever - once I'd remapped the keys when in the dancing lowriders mission
(which took me about five failed attempts beforehand), there was nothing
wrong with the lowrider mission or the beach dancing. I can't be arsed to
see girlfriends, let alone dance with them...

Yeh that is true enough, most of the girlfriends got shot immediatly,
aside from the ones that you get the health and arrest benefits

Shit, I've never had a car survive long enough to get dirty!

Y'know, that's why I was kind of skeptical about being able to mod
cars. I'm being wayyyyy to over-sentimental about some of those
polygons....

Yep. Never bothered with modding. If I don't destroy 'em, the garage eats
'em!

Besides, I ride motorcycles almost exclusively, anyway (like I wish I could
in real life). Don't think you can mod those.

Would be cool. Or maybe it just means that a newly painted car doesn't
come out of the paint shop dirty?

Hooray :-)

Does anyone know if the existing NoCD cracks work with this version?

I don't know yet, but I'll be able to tell you after I install the patch at
home tonight. Is anyone in a position to try it now?

Even if they do, you will probably be going back to V1.0 by overwriting
the game excutable with a cracked version after installing the patch,
as (amongst other files), the main executable is changed during
installation of the patch.

yeah, the 1.01 patch looks for the original exe file before it will let you
do the upgrade. Since I have a No-cd exe, it wouldn't let me do it.

I say give it a week or so before some clever person makes a new no-cd crack
for the 1.01 patch.

Often the cracking groups have lost interest in a game by the time a patch
comes out (it's not 1337 enough for them anymore) so they never bother to
crack it.

I actually think this would be a good copy-protection scheme: release a
game, wait a month, patch it and add some enhancements that EVERYONE will
want to have, and hope the crackers don't update their no-CD cracks. :-) Or
alternatively use the Starforce protection system that TrackMania Sunrise
used. To the best of my knowledge that still hasn't been cracked.

[Homer J. Simpson]

patch it and add some enhancements that EVERYONE will want to have

...but that would include the crackers, so it *would* get cracked.

People crack crappy $5 shareware, so you can bet *someone* will crack one of
the most popular PC games ever no matter how many patches come out.

Anybody else got problems with massive in-game-stuttering every few
seconds after applying the patch?

My rig (AMD64 3000+, NForce 4-MB, GF6600GT PCIE, 1GB PC3200, SB Live)
meets the requirements and ran SA absolutely smooth with everything
maxed up before applying the patch. :/

[PhilHibbs]

I would have thought that they would produce two versions of the patch,
one for the US and Australia and others to remove the scenes that
caused the rating to change, and one for other areas where it already
had an 18 rating. I'll still apply the patch then there's a No Disc
hack, because the fixes look worth having, but it'll be a shame that I
won't be able to show the dodgy scenes to friends. I could keep
backups, I suppose.
