GTA IV: San Andreas Beta

At last! What we have all been waiting for has finally happened! The first official

release of GTA IV: San Andreas is here! This modification fully brings San Andreas to the game engine

GTA IV. Now you can play the good old San Andreas, but with the graphics, physics, and all the

other beauty from GTA IV!

1) The entire map is crafted in high quality, with additions similar to Oblivion.

2) You will remember the old gang areas and get reintroduced to GTA San Andreas, but in a new incarnation.

3) Cars, peds, weapons, all of it has been transferred.

4) You will experience a stunning world with the new RAGE game engine, which GTA IV is based on.

5) The physics of cars, people, and everything else will change significantly.

6) You will encounter new technology, although you may be familiar with it, but you have never seen it in the style of GTA San Andreas!

Start --> Run

%temp%IVSATempSetup.exe

How to install the mod:

Run the file IVSASetup.exe, clicking Next, and specify the folder with your GTA IV.

Launching the game:

Launch the game using the GTA4 shortcut; if it doesn't work, run the executable file IVSALauncher.exe in the folder with the installed game.

System requirements are almost the same as the original GTA IV.

Possible issues (Q&A):

Q: I have an I/O error during installation.

A: In the properties of the file that caused the error, uncheck the Read-only attribute.

Q: I have an RMN60 error when launching the game.

A: This has already been fixed. Reinstall the mod. To fix the error without reinstalling, copy DFA.dll from your game .exe folder to your mod installation folder.

Q: The game crashes as soon as the menu appears.

A: This has already been fixed. Reinstall the mod. To fix the error without reinstalling, copy the file from pctexturesselect_menu.wtd from your GTA4 .exe folder to your mod installation folder.

Q: The game crashes as soon as the loading screens disappear.

A: Delete your saves (in your documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames or in C:Users\AppDataLocalRockstar GamesGTA IVsavegames).

Q: The game loads, but I still see Liberty City, why?

A: This is such an ultra-modern protection. Delete the file files.txt in the root folder and the file filelist.pak in pcdata.

Q: The game crashes near the Vinewood area.

A: You are likely using an empty archive of the file paths.img.

What can be done:

Restore the original paths.img (the paths will be included)

or

Restore the original paths.img and open the text file images.txt in (/common/data), where you need to find:

This line => platformimg:/models/cdimages/componentpeds 1

Add this before it => #

So it looks like this => #platformimg:/models/cdimages/componentpeds 1 (the paths will be disabled)

Q: I see lights in the distance where there are no roads or streetlights.

A: These are lights from the original game; just delete the file distantlights.dat in pcdatapaths and they will be gone.

Q: I can't use the phone in the game, even though I have the original script.img and paths.img.

A: Do not use modified files from loadingscreens.dat.

Q: The phone is unavailable in the game; I am using a clean archive file script.img.

A: Actually, this means the phone usage is excluded. But you can access the video editor by pressing F8 if you have installed scripts.
