Running GTA:SA v1.0 on Windows Vista Business 32-bit. The game works fine, but occasionally the mouse will stop working. This mostly seems to happen after saving the game.

Also, the game will occasionally freeze when using the menus or Alt+Tabbing out of the game.

Compatibility mode doesn't seem to have any effect.

Works but it freezes on menus and when they do work, it takes about a minute just to get back to the game. AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce.

It works, but it has a few errors.

Sometimes, the mouse locks up, and it won't recognize there being a mouse. (both for looking around and clicking in the menu)

This can be solved by pausing and then unpausing. (Using the ENTER key to replace the mouse if neccesary)

However, if the game is paused right after loading the game, completing a mission, or the game is paused and unpaused rapidly, it happens that the screen turns black, and San Andreas will have to be turned off using the task manager and any unsaved data will be lost.

Also, it does not automatically see User Tracks. A manual User Track scan must be performed everytime the game is started up.

I am running version 1.1, from the default install directory it suggested.

I find that when you install a fresh version and go to program compatibility, run it as if it's win 98/me, it works fine, however for an older game, something is taking up allot of my comp resources because the animations are jittery. Plus the graphics look a little off. Even for my comp witch has high specs.

Follow this link for instructions on how to play on vista and you can download the multiplayer patch with it too.

San Andreas works in compatibility mode for windows xp service pack 2. But compatibility mode cuts my fps in half. Even though i have twice as much ram as i did on my old laptop that i use to play sa on, it runs as if i had only 30 mb of ram.

I got the mouse crash issues to stop on Windows XP x64 by changing the shortcut's preferences to "Windows 98/Me" compatibility. I've read that this also fixes it on Vista:

Until now, the mouse buttons would stop responding when I hit Esc to view the menu. The game would often crash upon exiting the menu to resume the game. Before, I couldn't finish more than 3 unique jumps without it crashing. Now, I finished all unique jumps in the Los Santos in one go.

I have the following problems under Vista Home Premium 32bit (w/ Dual Core Intel E6600 (iirc), 2GB ram & nVidia 8800GTS graphics):

1) The mouse occasionally won't work ingame - I can't move the camera using it. I have to exit to the menu and resume.

2) Mouse buttons occasionally don't work in menus - have to mouseover and press enter.

3) Game sometimes crashes when going into the game proper.

4) When framerate limit is turned off, you are unable to move while aiming. Which is a shame, because it's bloody beautiful to watch.

Are there any patches for San Andreas. 1 friend of mine wants to play this game on his new PC with Windows Vista but the game crashes. I even don't know what's the version of Vista he's using and what's the version of GTA:SA he have. Any ideas?

The same here

Crashes at the menu

Mouse prob isn't that deal and it's old since Vice City and in all OSs & can be fixed by pausing and unpausing the game

Running the Second Edition of GTA: SA on Vista Home Premium.

Specs are a Core 2 Duo T7500, 2GB RAM and an 8600M GT.

Runs fine - but when running on anything above 1024x768 some of the color's become a bit "washed out" - i.e. the game looks really dull. But the game runs well and is playable if you can stand the 'off' colors. Most likely a graphic card driver issue though and not with Vista.

It does occasionally crash as mentioned by others. This is especially true when you go back to the menu to access the map. Mouse lockups too, but can be fixed by pausing the game then unpausing.
