Stealth effect
In the game you can kill opponents very quietly and quickly. For example, a sentry. To do this, take a knife and sneak up on the enemy from behind. When you get close enough, press and hold the right mouse button, when his health marker appears above the enemy, click on the left button. CJ will carefully cut his opponent's throat.
Dancing in the car
In one of Sweet's missions, you need to take a car that can bounce on springs and go to the train station for a competition. Many players fail to complete this mission. I advise you to change the keys that control jumps in the control settings. By default, these are the keys on the additional keyboard: Additional. 2, Add. 4, Add. 6, Add. 8, they are quite unusual and difficult to adapt to. Place the jump controls on the standard cursor control keys (those with arrows), and keep an eye on the circle in the middle of the screen; as soon as the arrow hits the circle, press the same arrow on the keyboard. It's very simple. Once you complete this mission, you will be able to participate in these competitions whenever you want. Enter the red marker next to the person standing next to this place (next to the train station in Los Santos) and the competition will begin! Many people fail to score the required number of points, here are some tips on this matter: Modify your car, the more solid it looks, the more points they will give. Press the jump control keys just after the arrow hits the circle. You can not look at the circle at all, but look only at the arrows, listening to the rhythm of the music and pressing the rhythm.
Well, a completely radical way: using the ArtMoney program, increase the number of your points to 3000, wait until the end of the competition and the mission is completed!
Stealing things from citizens' houses
To start this mission, first wait until evening (20:00), then find a special dark van, it is located in the Ganton area near the blue stone houses, opposite the gym (see screenshot). In San Fierro, a truck is parked not far from a driving school in the courtyard of some enterprise. In Las Venturas, he can be found in the Pilgrim area, which is located to the west, the car is parked in an alley next to the road junction. After confirming participation in the mission, carefully look at the houses of the townspeople, when you see a yellow arrow near the house, enter this house. If there are people in the house and they saw you, what can I say - RUN! If you do not manage to jump out of the house in a few seconds, you will be given a 3-star wanted level. If you enter the house and the owner is sleeping, then do not make noise. To do this, keep the key pressed while walking around the house. On the right side of the screen is the noise level; as soon as it is full, the owner of the house will call the police. Approach valuable equipment (TV, stereo system, etc.) and press “F”, CJ will take the item in his hands. Take it to the van and return for the next item. Once the van is full or the night is over, take the items to the garage to dispose of the stolen goods.
Slot machines
There are many slot machines in different establishments, unlike Vice City, you can now play slot machines. Go to the machine and press the “F” key, and then you’ll figure it out. By the way, in CJ’s house there is a console near the TV, you can also play it.
To restore your health, you don’t have to run to a pizzeria, you can just go to a lemonade or food machine, which you can often find in crowded places and stores, and improve your health for just $1.
Hidden objects
If in Vice City you had to find 100 green figurines, then in GTA-SA you need to paint over 100 other people's graffiti (the can of spray paint is on the second floor in CJ's house). Approach the graffiti and spray paint on it until the message to paint over appears. In addition to graffiti, you need to find 50 oysters and shells (underwater). Don't be lazy to explore the world of GTA San Andreas, it's very interesting.
Skydiving
In Los Santos, in the business part of the city there is a round skyscraper. Enter it and you will find yourself on the roof. Put on your parachute and jump! The parachute will open when you click on the left mouse button. There are parachutes in other places in San Andreas.
Negro for pumping
A very important element of the gameplay is the CJ training system. You can train almost everything: endurance, muscles, lung capacity, weapon skills, vehicle control, hand-to-hand combat techniques and other skills. Good physical shape will be very useful for completing missions and will allow you to escape from pursuit, because in the game you have to run and run a lot. To train, visit the gym, pump up your muscles and train your endurance. To find out what level of training CJ has, press the key. The more stamina you have, the longer you can run and swim. Muscles and endurance can be built up not only in the gym, when you run for a long time, the level of muscle and endurance gradually increases. Do not forget to eat regularly, because if the level of obesity remains at zero for a long time, then during physical exercise (running) the muscle mass gained with such difficulty decreases. Some missions require you to swim underwater for a long time in order to increase your lung capacity and not need air for a long time while exploring the seabed - swim more underwater. Over time, your lung capacity will increase significantly. Attending a martial arts school will allow you to learn hand-to-hand combat techniques. Using special combinations, you can defeat any opponent with your bare hands.
Weapon skill is trained individually for each type of weapon. The more accurate hits you have, the greater the skill for this type of weapon. You can also practice shooting at a shooting range. Over time, for example, you will be able to shoot from an Uzi with two hands, and you will be able to reload cartridges faster, accuracy and destructive power will also increase. You can also see what skill you currently have by clicking or in the statistics.
Vehicle ownership can also be trained for each type of transport (bicycles, motorcycles, cars, airplanes and helicopters, boats). The skill is acquired by attending special schools (there are flight and automobile schools). By driving any type of vehicle for a long time without accidents, you also increase your level of proficiency in this type of transport. At a high level, transport is controlled much easier.
How to make a million
In the city of San Fierro, in the center there is a place where the races take place, it is marked on the map with a flag. If you go there and win all the races in first place, you will be given $1,000,000.
How to get the fastest motorcycle, Monster (Bigfoot), Racer (sports car)
In the city of Las Venturas, in the Black Field area, there is a motorcycle school, it is marked on the map $ if you complete all the tasks with gold medals, you will be given the fastest motorcycle. In Los Santos, on the map you need to find a large round building - this is a stadium (on the map it is marked with a cup). If you pass it in first place you will be given a Monster and a Racer. Believe me, all these cars are worth getting. By the way, BigFoot can be found in a small settlement immediately after leaving Los Santos (when San Fierro opens).
Outrun the rooster
On Santa Maria Beach in Los Santos, near the Lighthouse, you can take part in swimming. If you want to win, you need to pump up your “endurance” to the maximum. If you have all this, feel free to go there. Tip: to win you need to press shift as much as possible - this speeds up swimming.
Endless wheel on bicycles
I discovered this trick a long time ago, now I’ll tell you how to do it. In general, we need a direct route (for example, an airport). You need to accelerate properly and rear up, but not all the way, so that the back of the bike doesn’t touch the asphalt. You need to drive in this position for 3-4 seconds, after which you can release the key with which you reared up. Congratulations, you are now a circus performer.
Are 2 girls not enough? Take four more
Everyone knows that according to the plot in GTA: SA there are two girls, one in the first city, and the second in the third.
But besides them there are four more girls. Every girl makes a difference. I know that one of them can get you out of the hospital for free. That is, when you die, they won’t take a penny from you. So if you, while driving around San Andreas, come across a girl with a blue triangle on her head, approach her, and maybe she will reciprocate your feelings.
Photos in game
Now you can take photos of interesting events right in the game, take a camera (on the 2nd floor in the first CJ house) and take a photo. Photos in JPG format are located in the folder: “...\My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\Gallery\”. Using a camera, you can take pictures not only of buildings, but also of yourself (CJ "me)! To do this, point the camera at some guy from your gang and click on action. After that, the guy will take the camera and take a picture of you. These photos are saved as usual .
Your own music in the game
A distinctive feature of the PC version from the console version is the ability to listen to your music as a 12 radio station. If in GTA III and Vice City you had to throw music files into the MP3 folder, now you need to copy your favorite songs to the address: “...\My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\User Tracks\” In the sound settings you can choose how will play tracks (randomly or sequentially) and mix your music with radio screensavers. Once you have added your music to this folder, go to Audio Settings > User Music and scan for new tracks, otherwise the new music may not be available in the game.
Acoustics in transport.
The quality of the output bass depends on the type of transport, for example, on motorcycles and old vehicles there is no bass, but on expensive cars the bass is very noticeable. To improve the sound quality, take a look at the modding garage and buy a good subwoofer. This feature can be disabled in the audio settings.
Eliminating problems with game freezing, problems with graphics, sound. Increase FPS.
From conversations on GTA forums, it became clear that problems with the game arise quite often. Problems are mainly solved by installing new versions of drivers (both video and sound), but not everything is so simple.
The game crashes
For everyone whose toy crashes with a blue screen and a driver error in nvcpm.sys. It's all about the nforce audio controller driver. To fix this, you need to do this: go to device manager / sound, video and gaming devices / nforce audio controller / update the driver / install from the specified location / do not search, I will select the desired driver myself. And select the standard integrated sound processor driver. For example, I call it Realtek 97 audio. The whole problem is in the collection of the latest drivers from nVidia UDP 5.10 for motherboards based on nForce.
If even after the rearrangement the game continues to be very glitchy, then it may be worth deleting the “gta_sa.set” file, it is located: ...\My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\ all GTA settings are stored in it.
Graphics problems
Problem: displaying people as black in screensavers and white on the streets without textures on FX5200-5600-5900 and some ATi video cards.
Solution: updating the drivers does not solve the problem, so you just need to run the RivaTuner program and then go to the Direct3D Tweaks > Compability tab and check the Enable table fog emulation item... everything starts working correctly and people are textured again.
Sound problems
Sometimes you need to reduce audio acceleration; to do this, go to Start > Run > write “dxdiag” > click on the Sound tab and reduce the level of hardware audio acceleration.
Good advice to all owners of the trimmed pirated version (on 1 or 2 CDs). There is almost no radio in this version of the game. Because of this, when getting into a car, the game may crash or become very slow. The problem can be solved by setting all radio stations to play songs from the "User"s Tracks" folder by default. To do this, in the "...\GTA_San_Andreas\audio\streams\" folder - delete all files with names of 2 letters (11 pieces according to the number of stations ) Now each machine will play what you put in the folder (don’t pay attention to the station names that appear at the top of the screen).
Increased performance (FPS)
On older computers, FPS will increase if you disable the frame limiter, you need to turn off shadows and remove anti-aliasing (Antialiasing), reduce the draw distance, and change the resolution to a lower one.
Another reason for low performance in the game: vertical synchronization is enabled in the game by default, which can only be disabled through the RivaTuner program or video card drivers. The increase is quite large, especially on older machines.
It has been noticed that the game can slow down a lot if the monitor is set to 100 Hz, try setting it to 85 Hz, the brakes will decrease slightly.
Other tips
Basketball tournament
There are many basketball courts scattered throughout San Andreas, from small ones - home ones, to large specialized ones - professional ones. In Las Venturas, find a big court like this and take the ball. If you press the space bar, the tournament will begin! In it you need to score as many points as possible in a certain time. Balls can only be thrown from specially designated areas.
How to tow cars
Few people know that tow trucks drive around the city for a reason. Once you get into this car, you can take any vehicle in tow. To do this, lower the tow truck crane down (to control the crane, use buttons 8 and 2 on the additional keyboard), then carefully roll it up to the towed car so that the hook touches the bumper. The car will attach itself to the towing vehicle. Lift the towing crane and you can go anywhere.
It's not just tugs that can hitch other vehicles. Tractors, which can be found in rural areas, can also carry any type of vehicle. You can even play train, attach about 20 tractors and ride along the roads. At the airport there are small cars BAGGAGE and TUG, they can carry small trailers with luggage and other small trailers, such as stairs at the airport.
With a car, PACKER, which is designed to transport passenger cars to San Andreas, it became possible to transport these same cars. To do this, raise the 2nd platform for transport from the car horizontally to the road (buttons 8 and 2 on the additional keyboard), that’s it, now you can drive small cars. Only during transportation do they shake and beat a lot.
Large trailers, often found in industrial areas of cities, can be attached to tractors, for example: LINERUNNER, ROADTRAIN, TANKLASTER.
Collecting hidden objects
As in Vice City in San Andreas, in order to get free weapons and other bonuses you need to collect several types of hidden items, namely:
Find 50 horseshoes in Las Venturas. Bonus: your luck in gambling will increase + the following weapons will always be available at the Four Dragons casino: Combat Shotgun, Satchel Charges, M4 and MP5.
Find 50 oysters scattered along the bottom of reservoirs throughout San Andreas. Bonus: Increased lung capacity and attractiveness + $100,000.
Paint over 100 graffiti in Los Santos (a can of spray paint can be found in CJ's house on the 2nd floor). Bonus: gang respect + weapons near CJ's mother's house in Los Santos: AK-47, Tec-9, Sawn-Off Shotgun and Molotov cocktails in the kitchen.
Take 50 photos of the sights in San Fierro. The whole interesting thing here is that the markers in the form of a rotating camera image, which mark the places that need to be photographed, are visible only through the camera lens! And you will have to run around before you find all the sights. Bonus: weapons will be available near the house in the Doherty area (San Fierro): Micro-SMG, grenades, shotgun and sniper rifle.
The easiest way to search is to use the Jet Pack; it will be at the old abandoned airport in the desert of Las Venturas after completing one of the missions, towards the end of the game.
Little tricks
Planes and helicopters can be stored in the largest hangar at an abandoned airfield.
To accelerate on a bike, you need to quickly press the forward button, then CJ will accelerate on the bike. To jump on your bike, hold down the Ctrl button for a few seconds and then release.
To turn around in one place (required in the Driving School), press forward, backward and the left or right arrow at the same time, the car will turn around in place
In Los Santos, you can jump from a skyscraper on a motorcycle or bicycle and stay alive.
How to get free ammo
All large Ammu-Nation stores offer shooting competitions. Once you start the Ammu-Nation Challenge, exit it. After this, 100-1000 rounds of ammunition will be added to all weapons that participate in these competitions (Tec9, SMG, M4 and sawn-off shotgun). If you collect more than 9999 rounds in this way, they will become infinite. That is, of course, the cartridges will run out someday, but it will not be very soon.
How to fly a Boeing 737 and fighter jet
In San Andreas, the Boeing is called AT-400 and is located in a large distant hangar at Las Venturas Airport.
The Hydra fighter can be stolen directly from air competitions (which are available at the Las Venturas airport) in the “Military Service” mission. Just after starting the mission, drive the fighter into a large hangar at an abandoned airfield and save.
Population of the surrounding world
You can increase or decrease by changing the values in the file – “streams.ini”. For example, if you reduce the number of cars, then the roads will become much easier to drive at high speed, but if you increase them, the roads will turn into one big traffic jam.
Otherworld
Do you know how to get to the other world? This is a world where it is possible to travel as if outside the surrounding textures and models. It's like when you type No Clip in DOOM III and walk through walls. To get into this world, do the following: Go to the gym, which is located near the first house in Los Santos. BE SURE to kill everyone who is there, then you will have to enter the code ROCKETMAN and you will have a flying jetpack. After putting on the backpack, go to the exit where the yellow arrow is and start climbing up! You will find yourself in a black other world. Further, it’s more difficult because you can’t do without a special map, but it’s still cool, there’s a lot of things there. To get to Liberty City, use the Place Manager program. Launch the Place Manager program, then the game, go to the gym in Los Santos. Once you entered the gym, open Place Manager and enter the coordinates:
Warehouse:
X=1387.977
Y=7.352808
Z=1049.2899
you will see a yellow arrow, follow it, you will find yourself in a building.
Then enter the coordinates of Liberty City:
X -899.682
Y 462.5456
Z 1346.875
Dishonest seizure of territory
Helpful advice: if your territory is attacked, you need to quickly run home and save, and the territory will remain yours!
Tricks for completing difficult missions
Los Santos Stadium Mission: 8-Track
This task is quite difficult due to the fact that the racing car is very fragile and quickly breaks down. This is an easy fix and will make your race car stronger than an asphalt roller! To do this, download the “SA Handling Editor” program and install it in the game directory. Run the program and specify the location of the handling.cfg file (it is located in the DATA folder). In the list of vehicles, find the HOTRING car, set the value of the “Collision damage multiplier” variable to 0.01 (like a tank!). Now the race is reminiscent of a competition in Need For Speed, where the car does not crash at all, and you can drive without braking when cornering.
Stuntman mission on bicycle (BMX Challenge) and on motorcycle (NRG-500 Challenge)
The terrible mission takes less and less time and the checkpoint is suspended in a very inconvenient place... For those who are tired of going through these missions (and they are necessary for 100% completion of the game), my advice. It's very easy to get infinite time in these missions. Don't believe me? Try it yourself: Drive up to any checkpoint, and as soon as you have 0 seconds left, the inscription “You are a loser!” is about to appear. take this checkpoint. Here it is important to plan so that the process of taking the checkpoint occurs at the very end of 0 seconds. If you succeed, time will disappear, but checkpoints will remain! And you can collect them as much as you want. This trick also works in other missions, such as taxi driver, medic, etc.
Death instead of love
Who doesn’t want to take a croupier girl to all sorts of restaurants and gain % of her respect for you, and immediately get the coveted card, just kill her and take the card from her home. But in this situation, you will not be able to complete the game 100%.
To give yourself to a croupier girl without courtship or dates, just come to her house in the suit that you buy in a sex shop on mission - in the English version it’s a gimp suite. This method makes it easy to get a card from her.
How to catch up with a plane?
Many people ask: how to complete the mission in Las Venturas, where you need to catch up with the gangsters' plane by plane (fly through the ring above their plane)?
Recommendations for passing: first fly to the airfield where you took flight school, then fly to the plane to meet somewhere at cloud level, as soon as you see the plane - immediately turn around (you will have to turn around less) + fly not exactly behind it, but try to overtake him from the side and from above and sit in the ring above him. And what happens next (scene) is pure insanity.
It doesn't matter how long ago the game was released and how many official patches it has already received. Sometimes even on the best computers it may not start due to the lack of necessary software, due to a mismatch of the operating system, or due to incorrect settings of the client itself. There are many reasons why the game does not start, lags or crashes. And no less ways to solve these problems have been invented.
If GTA San Andreas does not start for you, then first of all you need to read the comments in the place where the client was downloaded (if we are talking about a pirate). Perhaps someone else has already had a similar problem, and the author of the distribution indicated ways to solve it. It is worth understanding that pirated versions, and even more so clients with modifications, are often unstable, which means you will have to suffer to get them running.
Check GTA's minimum system requirements!
This advice applies to any game. Before installing anything, you need to check the minimum system requirements and the list of required software. GTA San Andreas, as an already outdated game, has absolutely ridiculous hardware requirements, but it is better to double-check all your equipment, download the latest drivers for it and test it with special programs.In particular, to run the game you need a video card with 64 MB of memory and a sound card - both compatible with DirectX 9. You need 256 MB of RAM and a processor equivalent to or better than an Intel Pentium III. If any component of your computer does not meet these requirements, you can try using programs to overclock the processor or video card.
In addition, it is worth updating VisualC++ and Java to the latest versions compatible with your operating system.
Change your game and computer settings!
Will help in solving the problem in which GTA San Andreas game does not start– roll back all game settings to standard (by deleting the gta_sa.set file in the “My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files” folder). After this, you need to run the game with administrator rights, disabling the antivirus and all background programs that can load the processor. In addition, sometimes running in compatibility mode with the latest Windows XP service pack helps.If there are several accounts on your computer, try launching the game with the one that has the highest rights. If this is successful, then the conclusion is simple: some folder (most likely “My Documents”) is prohibited for editing or use by other users. You need to change this in your administrator rights settings. It is effective to clean the registry and the computer as a whole using special utilities, if GTA San Andreas does not start.
If all else fails, try installing a different version of the client, leaving the save files. The licensed version always works best. If you want to play GTA San Andreas without bugs and errors, it is better not to skimp and buy this game in the store in your city, on Steam or on another similar platform. Remember that saves made on versions with modifications will not run on clean clients.
Completing computer games is always a difficult task that not every person can cope with. That is why there are a variety of ways to simplify the task on the Internet, such as trainers, cheat codes, and even ready-made saves. The latter option is very interesting, since it is most suitable for projects such as GTA, that is, those that have an open game, a high-quality freeplay mode, as well as a sufficient number of things that you can do after completing the storyline. You can also use saves to pass certain difficult areas. However, in this case there is a small drawback, which is that all your progress before will be erased, and you will start playing with someone else's progress of the person who provided you with the save. In general, the decision is yours, and this article will talk in more detail about what saves can be like in GTA: San Andreas.
Walkthrough of "GTA: San Andreas"
Almost every computer game has a story campaign that you can go through. The only exceptions are some sandbox projects, in which you simply need to exist within one world, and no goals are set for you. An excellent example of such a game is Minecraft, but in this article we will talk about another project - GTA: San Andreas. Saves for this game will definitely come in handy, and not because the missions are too difficult. Of course, you will come across tasks that you will have to work on, but in most cases, gamers want to get saves for a given project for the reason that they do not want to bother with the storyline, which here is definitely not very deep. The emphasis in "San Andreas" is on freeplay. You have enormous opportunities, an immense city and plenty of time to do what you want. This is exactly why you may need saves in GTA: San Andreas. With their help, you can immediately get everything you can dream of, bypassing the storyline and instantly moving on to exciting freeplay.
How to use saves?
In GTA: San Andreas, saves are stored in the game folder and are not protected by anything, that is, they are a simple set of files that you can copy, paste, delete and add. This is exactly what you need to do to gain access to this or that save. First of all, you need to find on the Internet the save that interests you and download it to your computer. After that, copy the file to your save folder with a name that you can then recognize, and that's it. The process is extremely simple, now you can go into the game and load the save that you just added. GTA: San Andreas game saves are very common on the Internet, so your task will come down solely to finding the most suitable save for you.
Possible problems
Naturally, things may not go as smoothly as you would like, since there is a possibility that the save will be corrupted or incompatible. Therefore, first of all, you need to check the downloaded file for viruses. Most often, if you download a popular save, in the comments to it you can make sure that there are no viruses in it, but it’s still worth checking again. Then your “GTA: San Andreas Saves” folder will be under reliable protection. However, much more often problems arise precisely because you download the save for the wrong version of the game. The fact is that developers periodically release various additions and patches that, at least slightly, change the game. And if you installed such a patch for yourself, and saved the game without it, then it will not work for you. So always make sure your saves match the version of your game to avoid disappointment.
One hundred percent completion
As already mentioned, the most popular type of saves for this game are 100% saves. What do they provide you with in the game GTA: San Andreas? Saving 100%, firstly, gives you a completely completed story campaign, meaning you won't have to worry about any missions. This also applies to non-plot tasks. Also, in such saves, the entire map is open, all the nooks and crannies have been explored, all the cars have been purchased, there is a full arsenal of weapons with the maximum amount of ammunition, you have a collection of all types of clothes at home, and much more. In general, you get all the game content and can start freeplaying immediately and get the most out of the GTA: San Andreas game. 100% save, however, is not the only type of save for this game.
Incomplete saves
You can also find a fairly large number of different saves in the game, which offer you not a complete, but a partial passage. You will see 50% saves in GTA: San Andreas, as well as just partial saves. What could this mean? For example, you can download a save game in which only the most unpleasant missions will be completed. Or, all types of weapons may be obtained for you, but the rest of the content is left to you to discover on your own. In general, you will have plenty to choose from, which save to download and load into the save folder.
Step-by-step saves
Naturally, we must not forget about another important type of save, which will help you advance through the plot at the right time. Of course, for GTA games it is not so popular, since few people simply concentrate on the storyline, but there are still these types of saves on the Internet, so you can use them if necessary. How do they work? If you are stuck on completing a specific story mission, then you don’t have to download a 100% or partial walkthrough. It is enough to find a save that was made just after completing the mission with which you had difficulties. You download this save, load it and can safely continue playing the game. But as mentioned earlier, for this type of game such saves are not particularly popular, since gamers often use freeplay functions in parallel with the passage of the storyline, and all their progress after loading such a save will be deleted permanently.
In order to start playing gta san andreas, of course, you first need to download the gta san andreas game. A little later after its release, it became possible to play online (gta san andreas multiplayer / san andreas online / gta san andreas online). We will focus on the article “gta san andreas walkthrough”. The entire Walkthrough of GTA San Andreas can be conditionally divided into 6 logical stages. The first city in which the game begins is Los Santos. After passing it, the Countryside begins. Behind it is the city of San Fierro. After completing missions in San Fierro, the Desert begins. Beyond the desert is the city of Las Venturas. And finally, the final stage of the game - Return to Los Santos. The order in which gta san andreas missions are completed is different for all players, since sometimes several tasks are available at once, and the player himself will decide which one to choose first. The walkthrough is described by employer bosses, and not in order, to make it easier to navigate. I'll start the description of the passage from the very beginning...
Note. You can also download various patches for gta san andreas, mods for gta san andreas - there are a large number of them (for example, gta san andreas criminal Russia - in this version of gta san andreas the cars are Russian!). Many people are looking for gta san andreas maps - but there is no great need for this - after all, an excellent map with a zoom function is in the game menu. After this short introduction, we will begin the article “Walkthrough of GTA San Andreas”.
Los Santos/ Los Santos
Carl Johnson, aka CJ, aka the main character of the game grand theft auto san andreas, returns to his native Los Santos after 5 years spent in Liberty City for the funeral of his murdered mother... Upon arrival, he discovers that his gang has not only lost its former strength, but in general is on the verge of collapse. The family also has a lot of problems... Karl decides to stay and try to help his brother Sweet put everything in order.
In the beginning
This is more likely not even a mission, but an introduction to grand theft auto san andreas. Here we watch the video and get acquainted with the main character. As soon as he has time to leave the airport and get into a taxi, Karl will be tied up by the cops, as we later learn, mired in corruption and crime. Their chief, Officer Tenpenny, would later repeatedly give Johnson tasks that he would be forced to carry out. The cops will take CJ's wallet and throw him right into the middle of the area of his ardent opponents, the Ballas gang. Since this mission is the very first in GTA San Andreas, it is no different in difficulty. All you have to do is get on your bike parked in the alley and ride to the "CJ" mark marked on the map. Carefully read the prompts in the corner of the screen - to go faster, press the forward button many times without stopping. But keep in mind that our character’s bike driving skill is still as low as possible, so don’t crash into anything, and be careful when turning so as not to cause damage to your health. Upon arrival at your destination, watch the video as Karl enters his home. Afterwards the mission will end. To save the game, go into the house, into the kitchen, and go to the floppy disk displayed there. Select the slot where you want to save the game. Saving will automatically advance the game time 6 hours forward. It will be possible to save in the future not only in this house. In the GTA San Andreas game, the ability to buy real estate has been implemented, and in each building purchased or opened along the storyline, you can perform a similar procedure. By the way, about saving. Walkthrough of GTA San Andreas advises to monitor the daily game time; the lion's share of missions is much easier to complete during the day due to better visibility. Therefore, it is most rational to save at about 00:00, so that when loading the game it will be around six in the morning.
Big Smoke
In this mission of GTA San Andreas we will be convinced that Karl's gang is in a deplorable situation. At the cemetery, the Ballas will attack you, blow up the car of CJ's brother Sweet, and my friends and I will have to run away from the enemies on bicycles. At the same time, of course, they will not lag behind. If you start to hesitate, you will come under fire from a car with enemies chasing you. As in the previous mission, it is better not to crash into anything, since it is very easy to fall off the bike with such skills. But over enemies in a car there is some advantage - a bicycle is much more agile and maneuverable. First you will need to go after Sweet, then, after watching the video, you will have to split up and go after Ryder. Upon arrival at the shelter, Ryder will criticize Karl's appearance, and this mission is over.
Reward: respect+
Ryder
To begin with, Ryder will invite Carl to go to the hairdresser and change his hairstyle. We get to the point marked on the radar and go inside the hairdresser. Next, the game San Andreas will provide us with fairly detailed instructions on what to do to change your hairstyle. As soon as you get it, go outside, where Ryder will have a good laugh at your new haircut, no matter what it is. Afterwards he will say that Karl is too skinny and offer him a snack. Go to the eatery opposite the hairdresser, choose a dish that you like (the game San Andreas will show a hint on how to do this here), eat. And then Ryder couldn’t think of anything better than to rob this very diner. We watch a rather funny video, after which the seller will chase the unlucky robber and you along with a shotgun. Here you can choose what to do. You can simply drive away from the “aggressor” in Ryder’s car. Or you can run over the attacker to pick up his shotgun, a good weapon for close combat. In any case, to complete the mission it is necessary to bring Ryder home.
Reward: respect+, access to Retinue tasks
Sweet
Sweet is the older brother of the main character in the game. His real name is Shawn Johnson. Sean believes Carl is responsible for the death of their younger brother, Brian. Sweet is the head of the Grove Street Families gang, which includes Carl, and is respected by his family. At the same time, he has many enemies in other groups. It is to him that CJ must prove his worth and the right to fight for the honor of the family. So, Sweet's missions
Tagging Up Turf
Sweet believes that it is time to finally retake his native territory, which is now controlled by other groups. Get into his car and drive to the first point marked on the radar. Upon arrival, Sweet will show you how to sketch graffiti. The remaining two drawings in that area will have to be sketched yourself. Then get in the car and drive to East Los Santos, to the marked point. And there you will have to actively defend yourself from attacking enemies for the first time. The cops won't appreciate your art, and enemy gangs prefer to admire their own graffiti rather than the graffiti you sketched. There are enough of both of them in this mission. The gta san andreas game will give you a choice - you can wait until they disappear from the screen and then paint over them, or you can do everything right away. You can splash paint in the faces of your enemies, but I don’t recommend it to the cops, your wanted level will quickly increase. There are four graffiti in total in this area, although only three will be shown to us in the video. The first one is simple. For the second, you will have to spray paint in the faces of the Ballas gang members. The police may show up, but if you act fast enough, you'll be able to escape before the cops and enemies even realize what's going on. The third graffiti is on the second floor of a building that is across the street from the second graffiti. The fourth video will not show, but the radar will. Once you’ve sketched everything out, get into Sweet’s pulled up car and drive home. By the way. You can find all 100 graffiti in Los Santos. In this gta san andreas mission, the spray can will be filled with an endless supply of paint, so you won’t have to run after it. If you want to paint later, paint can be found on the second floor of Karl's house.
Reward: $200, respect+, spray paint
Cleaning the Hood
Sweet in the video will report that the Ballas gang is getting members of our gang, Grove Street, hooked on drugs. This leads to her inability to defend the territory, not to mention worse consequences. It's time to put things in order. To do this, CJ will decide to call his old friends - Bi Dap and Big Bear (Big Bear). Get into the car with Ryder and drive to the point on the radar. Upon arrival, you will find that the Ballas drug dealers have already visited this apartment with their goods. Big Beer is unable to do anything at all because of the drugs. You'll have to figure it out yourself. Get back into the car and drive straight through the alley to the marked point. Near the house, dealer Ballas sells drugs to our ally. Deal with him (the dealer!). After this, Ryder will point to the house where the “purples” are gathering (the color of the Ballas gang, as you already understood). Run there, the building is very close. As you enter, Ryder will begin beating up stoned enemies. Two more will run out at the noise. Deal with them in any convenient way. Then leave the house, get into the car and drive home. By the way, as soon as you enter the house, pay attention to the room with the open door, what the girl is doing there, and it will become clear and understandable why both Rockstar games in general and the San Andreas game in particular are so disliked by the censors of some countries)) )
Reward: respect+
Drive-Thru
Smoke will want to have a snack (although it would not be advisable for him to eat at fast foods with such weight:) Get into the car with Ryder, Sweet and Big Smoke. Drive towards Cluckin' Bell, marked on the radar. The funny scripted video will end when the Ballas' car passes by. Go in pursuit of it! Please note that if you fail to destroy the enemies in time, the mission will fail. Keep your eyes on the road, read in the credits / listen to very funny dialogues. Friends and brother, leaning out of the windows, will begin to shoot at the enemy car. The passage of gta san andreas advises to stay as close as possible to the Ballas so that the bullets of your allies miss less often. You can soon try to ram the car with the enemies, and from it. two will come out. Crush them with the car, then you can pick up the dropped weapon and go to your native land. There Smoke will ask you to give him a ride home, which is what we need to do to complete this GTA San Andreas mission.
Reward: $200, respect+
Nines and AK's
This GTA San Andreas mission is also purely training in nature. Carl's friends say that Emmett is very knowledgeable about weapons. But his pathetic pistols cannot be compared with what enemy groups are now armed with... Although, it’s free and vinegar is sweet: Get into the car and drive to the point marked on the radar. We will be shown a short scripted video where Emmett will confuse Carl with Brian, and after the conversation he will give us shooting practice. Everything is according to the standard - the right mouse button is a sight, the left one is fire. The very essence of the training consists of shooting at bottles (three times) and destroying an old car with a direct hit on the gas tank (the GTA San Andreas game provided us with such an opportunity for the first time in the series!). By the way, good news! Enemies will never hit your tank, but you can easily hit them! When it is necessary to destroy a vehicle with a pistol or machine gun, there is no better way. After exercise, take Smoke to his house. As soon as you drop it off, Sweet will call you on your mobile and demand that Karl change his clothes. By the way, in GTA San Andreas there is much more choice than in Vice City! Drive to the Binco store and as usual, follow the instructions that appear on the screen to buy clothes. Now you can return home to complete the mission.
Reward: respect+, clothing store, Emmett's armory
Drive-By
Sweet will want to get even with the Ballas for all the “good things”. Groups of enemies that you have to destroy in the company of friends will be marked on the radar. Basically, all you have to do is drive the car and not crash it. You can try to crush several gang members at once, so that Karl’s friends can only finish the job. Important - keep an eye on the condition of the car! If the car is close to catching fire, it is better to immediately go to Pay "n" Spray to have it repaired and not put yourself at risk. When you and your friends have dealt with the last group of enemies, the police will begin chasing you (second wanted level). Head to the Pay "n" Spray indicated on the radar. After repainting your car, drive home safely.
Reward: $500, respect+
Sweet's Girl
When you go to Sweet, he won’t be at home. On the way out of his house, the phone rings, and it’s just his brother calling. Sweet and his girlfriend spent time together in a motel, and then came under fire from bandits. Walkthrough of the GTA San Andreas game recommends taking care in advance to go on a mission in some fairly fast car, since the main thing in this mission is speed. Sweet's health is decreasing every second, and we still need to get to the marker! The optimal solution to get rid of the aggressors would be to crush them at the entrance to the motel with a car. At the same time, the bandits are quite agile, they can manage to jump away from your car to the side! Therefore, it is better to calculate this in advance when planning the trajectory of the crush of enemies. In case of a successful combination of circumstances, you will crush about half of the attackers. Shoot the survivors, it is advisable to hurry - Sweet's health is not unlimited. As soon as you kill the last enemy, Sweet will call again and ask you to find a four-door car. This is exactly the car that is parked at the entrance to the motel. Take it and go to the marker. As soon as Sweet and his girlfriend get into the car, several pursuing cars will appear around the corner. Drive home as soon as possible, try not to get into an accident, otherwise fellow travelers may get out of the car onto the roadway to get rid of the chase. Considering the number of enemies, this is fraught with mission failure. So just try to get home quickly and without incident to complete the task.
Reward: respect+
This article will help you complete the game most successfully, and below are recommendations for solving various problems. Don’t be lazy to read everything to the end, so that the information is very useful and will help you in passing. You shouldn’t use them right away, thanks to the publication you will understand that even without them there are a lot of interesting features in the game.
Silent elimination of the enemy or Stealth effect
In gta san andreas you can kill opponents very quietly and quickly. To do this, you need to take a knife and approach the enemy from behind. When you get close enough, press and hold the right mouse button, at the moment when his health marker appears above the enemy, click on the left button. CJ will carefully cut the enemy's throat with a knife, thus creating a Stealth effect.
Dancing in the car
In one of Sweet's missions in GTA San Andreas you need to take a car that can bounce on springs and go to the train station for a competition. Many players fail to complete this mission. I advise you to change the keys that control jumps in the control settings. By default, these are the keys on the additional keyboard: Additional. 2, Add. 4, Add. 6, Add. 8, they are quite unusual and difficult to adapt to. Place the jump controls on the standard cursor control keys (those with arrows), and keep an eye on the circle in the middle of the screen; as soon as the arrow hits the circle, press the same arrow on the keyboard. It's very simple. Once you complete this mission, you will be able to participate in these competitions whenever you want. Enter the red marker next to the person standing next to this place (next to the train station in Los Santos) and the competition will begin! Many people fail to score the required number of points, here are some tips on this matter: Modify your car, the more solid it looks, the more points they will give. Press the jump control keys just after the arrow hits the circle. You can not look at the circle at all, but look only at the arrows, listening to the rhythm of the music and pressing the rhythm.
A completely radical way to complete this mission in gta san: using the ArtMoney program, increase the number of your points to 3000, wait until the end of the competition and the mission is completed!
Stealing things from citizens' houses
To start this mission, first wait until evening (20:00), then find a special dark van, it is located in the Ganton area near the blue stone houses, opposite the gym (see screenshot). In San Fierro, a truck is parked not far from a driving school in the courtyard of some enterprise. In Las Venturas, it can be found in the Pilgrim area, which is located to the west, the car is parked in an alley next to the road junction. After confirming participation in the mission, carefully look at the houses of the townspeople, when you see a yellow arrow near the house, enter this house. If there are people in the house and they saw you, what can I say - RUN! If you do not manage to jump out of the house in a few seconds, you will be given a 3-star wanted level. If you enter the house and the owner is sleeping, then do not make noise. To do this, keep the key pressed while walking around the house. On the right side of the screen is the noise level; as soon as it is full, the owner of the house will call the police. Approach valuable equipment (TV, stereo system, etc.) and press “F”, CJ will take the item in his hands. Take it to the van and return for the next item. Once the van is full or the night is over, take the items to the garage to dispose of the stolen goods.
Slot machines
There are many slot machines in different establishments, unlike Vice City, you can now play slot machines. Go to the machine and press the “F” key, and then you’ll figure it out. By the way, in CJ’s house there is a console near the TV, you can also play it.
Secrets of GTA San Andreas: Food
To restore your health, you don’t have to run to a pizzeria, you can just go to a lemonade or food machine, which you can often find in crowded places and stores, and improve your health for just $1.
Hidden objects in GTA San Andreas
If in Vice City you had to find 100 green figurines, then in GTA-SA you need to paint over 100 other people's graffiti (the can of spray paint is on the second floor in CJ's house). Approach the graffiti and spray paint on it until the message to paint over appears. In addition to graffiti, you need to find 50 oysters and shells (underwater). Don't be lazy to explore the world of GTA San Andreas, it's very interesting.
Skydiving
In Los Santos, in the business part of the city there is a round skyscraper. Enter it and you will find yourself on the roof. Put on your parachute and jump! The parachute will open when you click on the left mouse button. There are parachutes in other places in San Andreas.
Negro for pumping
A very important element of the gameplay is the CJ training system. You can train almost everything: endurance, muscles, lung capacity, weapon skills, vehicle control, hand-to-hand combat techniques and other skills. Good physical shape will be very useful for completing missions and will allow you to escape from pursuit, because in the game you have to run and run a lot. To train, visit the gym, pump up your muscles and train your endurance. To find out what level of training CJ has, press the key. The more stamina you have, the longer you can run and swim. Muscles and endurance can be built up not only in the gym, when you run for a long time, the level of muscle and endurance gradually increases. Do not forget to eat regularly, because if the level of obesity remains at zero for a long time, then during physical exercise (running) the muscle mass gained with such difficulty decreases. Some missions require you to swim underwater for a long time in order to increase your lung capacity and not need air for a long time while exploring the seabed - swim more underwater. Over time, your lung capacity will increase significantly. Attending a martial arts school will allow you to learn hand-to-hand combat techniques. Using special combinations, you can defeat any opponent with your bare hands.
Weapon skill is trained individually for each type of weapon. The more accurate hits you have, the greater the skill for this type of weapon. You can also practice shooting at a shooting range. Over time, for example, you will be able to shoot from an Uzi with two hands, and you will be able to reload cartridges faster, accuracy and destructive power will also increase. You can also see what skill you currently have by clicking or in the statistics.
Vehicle ownership can also be trained for each type of transport (bicycles, motorcycles, cars, airplanes and helicopters, boats). The skill is acquired by attending special schools (there are flight and automobile schools). By driving any type of vehicle for a long time without accidents, you also increase your level of proficiency in this type of transport. At a high level, transport is controlled much easier.
How to make a million
In the city of San Fierro, in the center there is a place where the races take place, it is marked on the map with a flag. If you go there and win all the races in first place, you will be given $1,000,000.
How to get the fastest motorcycle, Monster (Bigfoot), Racer (sports car)
In the city of Las Venturas, in the Black Field area, there is a motorcycle school, it is marked on the map $ if you complete all the tasks with gold medals, you will be given the fastest motorcycle. In Los Santos, on the map you need to find a large round building - this is a stadium (on the map it is marked with a cup). If you pass it in first place you will be given a Monster and a Racer. Believe me, all these cars are worth getting. By the way, BigFoot can be found in a small settlement immediately after leaving Los Santos (when San Fierro opens).
Outrun the rooster
On Santa Maria Beach in Los Santos, near the Lighthouse, you can take part in swimming. If you want to win, you need to pump up your “endurance” to the maximum. If you have all this, feel free to go there. Tip: to win you need to press shift as much as possible - this speeds up swimming.
Endless wheel on bicycles
I discovered this trick a long time ago, now I’ll tell you how to do it. In general, we need a direct route (for example, an airport). You need to accelerate properly and rear up, but not all the way, so that the back of the bike doesn’t touch the asphalt. You need to drive in this position for 3-4 seconds, after which you can release the key with which you reared up. Congratulations, you are now a circus performer.
Are 2 girls not enough? Take four more
Everyone knows that according to the plot in GTA: SA there are two girls, one in the first city, and the second in the third.
But besides them there are four more girls. Every girl makes a difference. I know that one of them can get you out of the hospital for free. That is, when you die, they won’t take a penny from you. So if you, while driving around San Andreas, come across a girl with a blue triangle on her head, approach her, and maybe she will reciprocate your feelings.
Photos in game
Now you can take photos of interesting events right in the game, take a camera (on the 2nd floor in the first CJ house) and take a photo. Photos in JPG format are located in the folder: “...\My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\Gallery\”. Using a camera, you can take pictures not only of buildings, but also of yourself (CJ "me)! To do this, point the camera at some guy from your gang and click on action. After that, the guy will take the camera and take a picture of you. These photos are saved as usual .
Your own music in the game
A distinctive feature of the PC version from the console version is the ability to listen to your music as a 12th radio station. If in GTA III and Vice City you had to throw music files into the MP3 folder, now you need to copy your favorite songs to the address: “...\My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\User Tracks\” In the sound settings you can choose how will play tracks (randomly or sequentially) and mix your music with screensavers from the radio. Once you have added your music to this folder, go to Audio Settings > User Music and scan for new tracks, otherwise the new music may not be available in the game.
Acoustics in transport.
The quality of the output bass depends on the type of transport, for example, on motorcycles and old vehicles there is no bass, but on expensive cars the bass is very noticeable. To improve the sound quality, take a look at the modding garage and buy a good subwoofer. This feature can be disabled in the audio settings.
Eliminating problems with game freezing, problems with graphics, sound. Increase FPS.
From conversations on GTA forums, it became clear that problems with the game arise quite often. Problems are mainly solved by installing new versions of drivers (both for video and sound), but not everything is so simple.
What to do if gta san andreas crashes
For everyone whose toy crashes with a blue screen and a driver error in nvcpm.sys. It's all about the nforce audio controller driver. To fix this, you need to do this: go to device manager / sound, video and gaming devices / nforce audio controller / update the driver / install from the specified location / do not search, I will select the desired driver myself. And select the standard integrated sound processor driver. For example, I call it Realtek 97 audio. The whole problem is in the collection of the latest drivers from nVidia UDP 5.10 for motherboards based on nForce.
If even after the rearrangement the game continues to be very glitchy, then it may be worth deleting the “gta_sa.set” file, it is located: ...\My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\ all GTA settings are stored in it.
Problems with graphics in GTA San Andreas
Problem: displaying people as black in screensavers and white on the streets without textures on FX5200-5600-5900 and some ATi video cards.
Solution: updating the drivers does not solve the problem, so you just need to run the RivaTuner program and then go to the Direct3D Tweaks > Compability tab and check the box Enable table fog emulation... everything starts working correctly and people are textured again.
Problems with sound in GTA San Andreas
Sometimes you need to reduce audio acceleration; to do this, go to Start > Run > write “dxdiag” > click on the Sound tab and reduce the level of hardware audio acceleration.
Good advice to all owners of the trimmed pirated version (on 1 or 2 CDs). There is almost no radio in this version of the game. Because of this, when getting into a car, the game may crash or become very slow. The problem can be solved by setting all radio stations to play songs from the "User"s Tracks" folder by default. To do this, in the "...\GTA_San_Andreas\audio\streams\" folder - delete all files with names of 2 letters (11 pieces according to the number of stations ) Now each machine will play what you put in the folder (don’t pay attention to the station names that appear at the top of the screen).
Increased performance (FPS) in GTA San Andreas
On older computers, FPS will increase if you disable the frame limiter, you need to turn off shadows and remove anti-aliasing (Antialiasing), reduce the draw distance, and change the resolution to a lower one.
Another reason for low performance in the game: vertical synchronization is enabled in the game by default, which can only be disabled through the RivaTuner program or video card drivers. The increase is quite large, especially on older machines.
It has been noticed that the game can slow down a lot if the monitor is set to 100 Hz, try setting it to 85 Hz, the brakes will decrease slightly.
Other tricks and tips
Basketball tournament
There are many basketball courts scattered throughout San Andreas, from small ones at home to large specialized ones like professional ones. In Las Venturas, find a big court like this and take the ball. If you press the spacebar, the tournament will begin! In it you need to score as many points as possible in a certain time. Balls can only be thrown from specially designated areas.
How to tow cars
Few people know that tow trucks drive around the city for a reason. Once you get into this car, you can take any vehicle in tow. To do this, lower the tow truck crane down (to control the crane, use buttons 8 and 2 on the additional keyboard), then carefully roll it up to the towed car so that the hook touches the bumper. The car will attach itself to the towing vehicle. Lift the towing crane and you can go anywhere.
It's not just tugs that can hitch other vehicles. Tractors, which can be found in rural areas, can also carry any type of vehicle. You can even play train, attach about 20 tractors and ride along the roads. At the airport there are small cars BAGGAGE and TUG, they can carry small trailers with luggage and other small trailers, such as stairs at the airport.
With a car, PACKER, which is designed to transport passenger cars to San Andreas, it became possible to transport these same cars. To do this, raise the 2nd platform for transport from the car horizontally to the road (buttons 8 and 2 on the additional keyboard), that’s it, now you can drive small cars. Only during transportation do they shake and beat a lot.
Large trailers, often found in industrial areas of cities, can be attached to tractors, for example: LINERUNNER, ROADTRAIN, TANKLASTER.
