Lots of people have trouble while they are trying to use the downgrader patch.
Some of them are just lazy,and some others don't have the basic knowledge of the computers.
So,i decided to make a step by step tutorial,<How to downgrade you copy of GTA:San Andreas>.

Step 1:
First of all you have to download the patcher:

Download

Step 2:
Now the download will be a zip file.
The real patch is in that archive.
Right click on gtasapatch.zip abd click on Extract all
Click Next 3 times and you've extracted the file
This is how the file shold look like:


Step 3:
Double click gtasapatch.exe and this window should pop-up:

Click Next

Click Next

Now the patcher needs to know your GTA:San Andreas installation path
Like "C:\Program Files\:Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas"
Attention:Giving and incorrect path will result in a failure!
You can also click on "..." button to browse for GTA:SA

Click Next
Now the patcher will check for your GTA:SA version and it will patch it.


Now your GTA:SA is at version 1.0

Enjoy,and don't hesistate to ask if you got stuck somewhere!

Cheers!

Attention
Having a cracked version of San Andreas wil also result in a failure.
The crack modifies somethings in the executable and so it will make it an unknown version!
Also the Steam and Direct2Drive version are not supported!

The supported version are

Code:

USA 1.01
USA 2.00
EU 1.01
EU 2.00
GER 1.01
GER 1.00

We must have a lot of sub-idiots then because people are ALWAYS asking how to do it.

when i try to install the patch, it tells me i have an unknown version


"This program cannot patch the installed version of San Andreas because of the following reason

D:\PROGRAM FILES\ROCKSTAR\GTA SAN ANDREAS\gta_sa.exe: unknown version"

[Fluxx]

Apply too D:\PROGRAM FILES\ROCKSTAR\GTA SAN ANDREAS

not
D:\PROGRAM FILES\ROCKSTAR\GTA SAN ANDREAS\gta_sa.exe

I downloaded and did this patch on US 2.0, but when I start any SAMP server, it passes the loading screen and crashes. Windows blames it on gta_sa.exe! I really want to test out RPG Streetlife 4!

Hey Everyone,
I have a problem with the downgrader. (i know how to aplly it just so you know) after i give the path of my .exe file it says that i have an unknown version. I have XP and its the German Version of the game but can be played in english etc. Please someone help i badly want to play multiplayer

[Bucks]

Ok, i need some help.
I've got the Multi (chose the language german) v1.1 and after I choose the gamedirectory and click next:

What should i do?

[Foxdonut]

[Potloodje]

I keep getting that too :S

[Jellix]

Well reading all of this here i decided to test and reproduce your downgrader errors.

1.I tried with a cracked 1.01 exe - Unknown version
2.I tried modding it (The game itself) - Works ok
3.I tried using a uninstalled copy of the game(you know copy & paste) - Here's the glitch

If you have a fresh copy of the game,of the original game,it should work 100%.
If this problem persists,buy the original game!

Again:
This problems are not occuring on a ORIGINAL game
(Original game aka Bought from a licensed game shop)
