[Explanation] GTA SAN ANDREAS [PC] Online multiplayer patch

What is SA:MP?

San Andreas Multiplayer (SA:MP) is a modification for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which turns it into a multiplayer game. You can play over the internet (or LAN) with up to 200 other people. You need the original Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas PC game to play San Andreas Multiplayer.

In SA:MP you are able to do almost anything that you can do in single player GTA. SA:MP also features the ability to create your own scripted game mods. There are many game modes (listed below) that feature a series of different and fun things to do. Many of which are not possible in single player.

SA:MP will run on any computer that will run San Andreas single player, but give better performance in most cases. However, if you are playing on larger servers(SA-MP Supports up to 200 slots), the game may run slower at times if you have a lower spec.

Download

The first and easiest step is to download the SA:MP Client from the website. The download page can be found at http://www.sa-mp.com/download.php - It is necessary to regularly check this page, especially if you get "Incorrect Version" errors after a few weeks.

Install

Simply run the downloaded .exe file and install to your GTA San Andreas folder. The default directory is:

C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\

It is very important that SA:MP is installed in the same place as gta_sa.exe. This is important as SA:MP needs the core San Andreas files to run. You should see the following window with your San Andreas directory pre-selected. If it is slected, click install - if not, browse for the directory first.



This automatic installation process should place a shortcut named SAMP on your desktop - just open this file to choose a server.



That is the basics, Torrent for gta sa single player will be posted later.
