How to Install SilentPatch for Classic GTA: San Andreas on PC
SilentPatch is an open-source bug-fix project that addresses crashes and other community-identified problems without changing the core gameplay experience.
Check your edition
SilentPatch supports the classic PC versions of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas based on version 1.0, Steam, and Rockstar Games Launcher executables. Steam and Rockstar Games Launcher installations do not need to be downgraded solely to use SilentPatch, although some individual fixes require version 1.0.
SilentPatch does not support Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition. That remastered edition is a separate Steam release.
Install the required loader
SilentPatch requires an ASI loader. Silent's GTA: San Andreas mod page specifies an ASI Loader for supported classic installations and Ultimate ASI Loader for the Rockstar Games Launcher version.
Choose the loader appropriate for your game version and complete its installation before adding SilentPatch.
Download SilentPatch
Download the San Andreas package from the SilentPatch GitHub releases page. The repository is open source, and the cited project pages list the San Andreas release as Build 33.1.
Install the downloaded package according to the instructions included with that release, then launch the game through your usual client.
Save compatibility
SilentPatch prevents the Steam and Rockstar Games Launcher versions from rejecting saves created with versions 1.0 or 1.01. A compatible main.scm is still required for such a save to work correctly.
