This is 10x more frustrating for us than it is for you. If Rockstar provided a version that everyone could upgrade to we would just support that. But they didn't provide an upgrade path from 1.0 to 2.0/3.0 which means we have to require a downgrade to play SA-MP. I have attempted to contact Rockstar Games and I asked for permission to include binary portions of the 1.0 gta_sa.exe with our mod so that it would work with the Steam and Direct2Drive versions out of the box. I did not get any response. Either way, please don't discuss cracks on this forum.

then why dosent SA-MP use V2.0 of gta san andreas? much bug fixes, no downgrading anymore, and in time, more samp players.
(dont tell me thats Impossible, i know it is possible.)
