This section is going to teach you how to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas using Windowed mode. Normally the frame limiter locks GTA III and GTA Vice City to 30 FPS whilst San Andreas is locked to 25 FPS, but with Silent Patch applied San Andreas properly locks at 30 FPS. So do yourself a favour and enable the frame limiter. In addition to physics-related bugs and cars aceelerating/braking incredibly fast that you'll experience in GTA III and GTA: Vice City, you'll also notice CJ can't swim underwater and exercise minigames are far too difficult in San Andreas with the frame limiter disabled.

GTA III, GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas should all have the in-game frame limiter (Options -> Display Setup -> Advanced) enabled, otherwise you'll run into odd bugs.

It's best to start a new game if you can (especially if you weren't that far into the game) but if you really want to continue your save game, you can upload your save on here and this website does all the work for you (do note it only converts v2 saves to v1 and v1 saves to v2): If you made a save on v 2.0/3.0, don't expect it to work on a v 1.0 installation of San Andreas.

Usually savegames only work on the version of the game that they were made on.

NOTE: after downgrading you will have TWO. 3.0 will revert your game to how it was before the NewSteam patches (this means the game will be less moddable and not all of Silent Patch's features will work) while 1.0 allows for the user to auto-install essential mods from within the downgrader program itself and will downgrade your game completely (there's even a button that will allow for you to install these mods without downgrading). Not all of Silent Patch's functions will work unless you downgrade to either version 3.0 or 1.0.
