After downgrading you may want to mod your game. I made a guide on how to fully transform your game with ~50 mods: th-cam.com/video/HV3V_vfQkGU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks man, i was struggling with my retail copy of san andreas. Even though it was 1.0, for some reason mod loader was not working when i installed it, i thinks it's probably because my version is a 2009 release. Downgrading it fixed all my problems thanks again 😁😁
This is actually Very Helpfull to Downgrade Gta san Andreas Ever since the Nexus mods Downgrader had, let's just say Problems connecting with their server. Thank you
01:27 You don't need a separate exe. You can easily make Steam launch the downgraded version. Here's the process broken down to as simple steps as possible. 1. In your San Andreas installation folder (SADIR), rename gta-sa.exe to anything you want. You can also delete it or move it to a subdirectory, it doesn't matter. 2. Copy SADIR's path from Windows File Manager's address bar (the one with the long line of text near the top) 3. Right click on the Start Menu and click on Terminal/Command Prompt/PowerShell (administrator), depending on which version of Windows you havey and click yes at the UAC prompt 4. In the command line window (Windows Terminal/Command Prompt/PowerShell), type in "cd " (the space and the quotes are important), then right-click to paste the address copied in step 2, and press return. 4b. If GTA San Andreas is installed on a drive other than drive 'C', e. g. drive 'D', you will also need to type in the drive letter followed by a colon character, e. g. "D:". If San Andreas is installed on drive 'C', you don't need to do this step. 5. Type in *mklink gta-sa.exe gta_sa.exe* and press return 6. Type in "exit" and press return. If you've done everything right, Steam will launch also launch v1.0. You can also just use the "official" SA Downgrader from GTAForums. gtaforums.com/topic/927016-san-andreas-downgrader/
With the method I described, you'll save about 14 MB of disk space, because gta-sa.exe is now going to be a link that points to gta_sa.exe, which takes almost no disk space.
The first game initialization needs to happen BEFORE you downgrade. If you downgrade first the launcher will erase some of the files from the downgrader. The MTLX file is extra DRM which was added after the game got released on the launcher.
Hey. I have a problem with my GTA 4. I purchased it from steam. I bought the complete edition. I played it for a few hours and when i tried to save it. An error popped up saying that "Save Failed. Please check your storage device and try again". I have around 300 gigs of storage left on my desktop. Please help me.
Your savegame folder might not have the necessary permissions in order to create and modify files. You need to sort out your permissions first. It's not an issue of free space.
@Badinfos from where can we make the necessary permissions can you please guide me Hey another question it says :- "Games for windows - Live save Data Your Social Club has No save data on disk for Grand Theft Auto IV" on the startup of rockstar launcher I tried to resolve it but no luck please Help me Big fan of your videos
Hello Badinfos This video is really Helpful But im Curious, Will u be able to play Samp if u just buy the original Trilogy from 2005 without downgrading it?
badinfos can u also make a vid for sanandreas where u add all the essential mod or making it better while keeping the game same without anything huge like grpahics mod and having it work perfectly the way u mod this game is so confusing just like the video u did for bully
Rockstar Launcher version is basically impossible for me. I did everything correctly but the game wouldn't open and only ran in background. Nothing I tried did anything to fix it.
If your game opens up the Rockstar Launcher once you open up the game then you need to follow the "Rockstar Launcher" method in the video. If you don't, then the launcher will "fix" your installation and download the updated files for you and the downgrader won't work.
@Badinfos oh ok well then I guess I'll have to buy the non DE version on Rockstar games which I just recently did because the reason why is because I wanted to do a gang territory glitch where you can glitch the game into having more gang territory across Los Santos and only the original game has that encoded into it
@@Badinfos i don't like the DE version doesn't have that glitch anymore and they completely removed it from the game because that's what made the game really fun for me to have gang territory across lost Santos I totally forgot they had that in the game until I came across a video about it
Yeah that glitch and many many many more fun ones were removed from the DE versions. I love breaking and manipulating the games to my will and the DE ones don't allow me to do that :(
So.. Can you tell me the best shaders for the cracked one? I can't find any good for cracked SA. (I can't get SA because it isn't available although definitive edition is there i don't like it and it's not cheap)
Most of you know what copies of gta San Andreas are actually the day one release so there is no need to downgrade unless you have the steam version of the game. 😂

Thanks! I needed this guide again after uninstalling the game after years haha. Going to play the hard difficulty mod now.
Man is too underrated for his content
Love from heart

Amazing Video Badinfos!
Pity those who can’t “downgrade” from the Definitive Edition to the Originals
Why? The original trilogy is still available on Rockstar's website, you just have to search for it.
Epic! Amazing work Badi!
lmfao i love how u considered the sailors out there
where can i doawnload the original gta san andreas
on steam its not anymore and rockstar launcher not working for me
THANK YOU DUDE!!!!! I couldn't get past the first cutscene before I watched your vid and now it works! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeseeeeeeeeeee.

Will you make a video on how to downgrade GTA Vice City and GTA 3? Not that I need it (because I’m a pirate) but more for other people.
I assume this doesnt work for gta 3 and vc, great video tho❤❤
I think you just need to replace the exes for those
@@UltimateSpiderMan good to know, where do i get those🧐
Dont know ask Goodinfos

Ok
i still have some old pirated GTA SA with the hot coffee mod
Here's my 2 questions: Why do we have to open the game before downgrading and why do you have to remove the MTLX.dll file? What does it do?
The first game initialization needs to happen BEFORE you downgrade. If you downgrade first the launcher will erase some of the files from the downgrader. The MTLX file is extra DRM which was added after the game got released on the launcher.
That is 1 and 2

"Games for windows - Live save Data
Your Social Club has No save data on disk for Grand Theft Auto IV"
on the startup of rockstar launcher I tried to resolve it but no luck
please Help me Big fan of your videos

Rockstar Launcher Downgrade Worked For Me Thanks
Can you do a remake of GTA 5 as a walkthrough I want to see how you obtain the medals
I already have a GTA V 100% walkthrough where I get all the gold medals. No need for a new one since it's still relevant.
Okay and my other question do you go by Badinfos or Alex which one do you prefer your viewers to call you
I downgraded gta sa but it not opening for me
Badinfos , we need a video talking about how to downgrade any version of vice city and 3
PLEASE
I did it your way but I can't get into Game 1.0 and I have to delete the game and reinstall in Rockstar Game Launcher
Hello Badinfos This video is really Helpful But im Curious, Will u be able to play Samp if u just buy the original Trilogy from 2005 without downgrading it?
hi if u didnt try yet thats what he means by rockstar version
can someone tell me how can I get the old gta san andreas on steam
or buy it ?
You can buy it currently from the Rockstar store, not from Steam unfortunately.
badinfos can u also make a vid for sanandreas where u add all the essential mod or making it better while keeping the game same without anything huge like grpahics mod and having it work perfectly the way u mod this game is so confusing just like the video u did for bully
When are you going to make the next gta walkthrough?
Clearly you didnt watch his final videos of all the games where he clearly said dont ask so maybe learn to be patient
@@tylervanhouten9354 Ok Geez...
BADINFOS FOR THA WIN BWAI!!!! :D
Rockstar Launcher version is basically impossible for me. I did everything correctly but the game wouldn't open and only ran in background. Nothing I tried did anything to fix it.
Can i finally play samp on rockstar san andreas after downgrade?
Modding is what makes San Andreas replayable.
This will come in handy when my Current downgraded game Decides To NOPE!
brooo i have the steam version but when i played the game the mouse just doesnt work at alll 😭😭
3 solutions to that:
- Pause and unpause many times until it's fixed
- limit the game to using only 1 core
- Install the silent patch
Badinfos please help, i finished the liberator mission last night but the target location is not gone it glitched in my radar help please
do you play samp on wtls servers?
Does this work for GTA 3 and Vice City too? I’m using the R* game launcher, unfortunately.
For the 3rd option (for ANY version), can that downgrader work with GTA trilogy 2005 (bought from Rockstar Games Website).
If your game opens up the Rockstar Launcher once you open up the game then you need to follow the "Rockstar Launcher" method in the video. If you don't, then the launcher will "fix" your installation and download the updated files for you and the downgrader won't work.
what if you have the DE version of the game? because i don't have the oringal trilogy version
Well then you don't need this video. The mods from the OG versions don't work on the DE versions.
@Badinfos oh ok well then I guess I'll have to buy the non DE version on Rockstar games which I just recently did because the reason why is because I wanted to do a gang territory glitch where you can glitch the game into having more gang territory across Los Santos and only the original game has that encoded into it
@@Badinfos i don't like the DE version doesn't have that glitch anymore and they completely removed it from the game because that's what made the game really fun for me to have gang territory across lost Santos I totally forgot they had that in the game until I came across a video about it

So.. Can you tell me the best shaders for the cracked one? I can't find any good for cracked SA. (I can't get SA because it isn't available although definitive edition is there i don't like it and it's not cheap)
Also d3d9.dll prevents me from opening SA
Please post a video how to fix gta 4 infinite loading screen bug
Cara, MUITO OBRIGADO!! 🇧🇷
Is pirate games dangerous to pc . Please reply Mr. Badinfos
yes ur internet provider will be on ur ass and fine u
Make also for gta vice city
Where I can Buy GTA San Andreas Steam dont have it why!!!!
you can't because the dumbasses of rockstar replaced it with the """""definitive""""" edition, so you will have to pirate it or something
Rockstar games launcher has it but you have to jump through hoops to find it
How can I restore the Hot Coffee mini games?
Does this work on GTA SA v1.01 cracked version.. ?
Thanks!
GTA d.e. Is the reason I only play retro games now.
i downloaded the "free" version and it was already downgraded
Where did you downloaded it?
Thx
Thanks man
