Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Cars Shaking & Braking Windows 10
Hi, I've got the problem where with the frame limiter off, cars shake and brake. I have downloaded silent patch to increase the fps limiter limit but I would like 60 fps. I have downloaded FPS adjuster but it hasn't worked. It says gta_sa.exe is not open even though it is. The application has said to run the game in compatibility mode but I'm not sure which one to use. Don't care how I do it as long as I have 60fps and no twerking cars!

Thanks everyone in advance for any help :)

The Steam version executable is called gta-sa.exe, thats why the mod doesnt recogni e it (along with the fact that this exe doesnt support most mods; i'd recommend getting Msi afterburner to limit the fps to 60 instead of 300+(970 at 1080p)which should reduce the physics nonsense without having to downgrade the game in order to get the mod to work; "cesar vialpando","amphibious assault" and the driving school are still impossible at 60 fps so lock it again during those missions.

That's your issue right there.
It's an old game, without frame limiters you can't even hope for it to work correctly.

If I use the MSI Afterburner method:

How do I do it?

In-game do I have the frame limiter on or off?

Thanks
You can downoald the latest version here:
https://gaming.msi.com/es/features/afterburner

Turn the in-game frame limiter off (except for the missions i mentioned, and in case you want to dive) and use afterburner to limit the framerate, i'd like to provide info on how to do this but i never had to do it as my card isnt able to reach 60 anyway so look for a tutorial on Youtube.

alternatively you can downgrade your game(which also nets you the 17 cut songs back) and use the frame limiter mod you were using

I used Silent Patch to downgrade my game to v1.0 and I'm still having my original problem of the Frame limit adjuster not finding gta_sa.exe
I will try using afterburner.
Silent Patch does not downgrade your game to 1.0, it makes 1.0/2.0 savegames compatible however. So if afterburner doesnt work try downgrading.

Ok thanks, I've just dowloaded a downgrader that was recommended on Reddit. I now have a backup plan!

Afterburner did not make a difference unless I was doing it wrong.
The downgrader has installed but when I open the game it freezes after the part where it says nVidia: the way it's meant to be played. I have to co ctrl+alt+delete to get back to the desktop.
It shouldnt do that, can you post a link of the downgrader you used; you can also try your luck with EVGa precision as im out of ideas.

The game now loads, is there a way to get my old save back or will I have to start again?

I just opened the gta_sa.exe from the directory rather than playing from the gta-sa.exe from steam

Now that I have fixed the game and everything is running smoothly without twerking cars and all, I'd like to thank you all for your help and input :steamhappy:
