Warnings
- The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a singleplayer third-person action, open world, gambling/casino, shooter and TPS game in the Grand Theft Auto series.
The PC version allows importing music files for playback in a custom radio station. Rockstar Games has removed some music tracks from the game due to expired licenses. Downgrade to restore.
Many visual features from the original PlayStation 2 version of the game are either simplified, missing, or broken in the PC version, and exceeding 30 FPS introduces various timing issues, including game-breaking ones. There are mods available to restore these features back into the PC version; see Restorations/backports.

- Saves made with original 1.0 scripts will fail to load when used with Hot Coffee patched ones, and vice versa. This can be fixed by converting them.

Issues unresolved
Save game corruption glitches
- Some save corrupting glitches can be worked around with an online repair tool or a savegame editor.[32]
- Even though virtually every major bug has been addressed by mods such as SilentPatch, there's no guarantee that some of the rarest ones will not occur.[33][34]
German Steam version doesn't work on OS X
- The German Steam version for OS X doesn't launch.[35]
- Playing above 30 FPS causes timing-related issues.
Relevant issues
- Game-breaking bugs and glitches
- Some missions such as Amphibious Assault or Driving School missions[36] or Mike Toreno (on entering the airport) are unbeatable or incredibly difficult.
- Some cutscenes display black screen: Cleaning The Hood (after entering Crack Den building) or Cesar Vialpando (after entering to tune shop) or during robbery of betting shop (after leaving the place [+ indestructible doors by detonator with unlocked framerate]), and Vertical Bird (after entering the ship; to be more precise, the game crashes).
- Physics bugs
- Vehicles & bicycles handle like brakes are always on, decelerate almost immediately, wobbly rear ends, and seem feathered whenever in-air.
- Turning sirens on or off is much harder due to shortened timing of pressing the assigned key to do so.
- Inability to dive underwater.
- Gameplay absurdities
- The camera during stunt jumps can lock up at any moment and would never go back to normal state.
- Aiming while walking is silly.[37]
- Spray cans and fire extinguishers become lethal.[38]
- Inability to walk while aiming a rifle/desert eagle.[38]
- Climbing walls results in sudden deaths.[39]
- Vehicles and/or pedestrians move extremely fast.
- Crashes when listening to User Radio (fixed in patch 1.01).[40]
- Cutscenes not ending (black screen - described above).[38]
- Weird audio pitching when panning the camera.[41]

Accidental activation of cheat codes
- Unlike III and VC, SA uses a sophisticated hashing mechanism to recognize the input of cheats. Unfortunately, this mechanism is faulty - leading to cheats sometimes being triggered by WASD keys commonly used for movement, among many others. Unwanted activation of cheats can ruin normal gameplay and speedrun experience.[51][52][53]

- ↑ From the Readme, about the frame limiter:
This option allows the game to go faster than 30 [sic] frames per second. Be warned that this will not magically make GRAND THEFT AUTO: San Andreas run better, but rather may make your experience "more variable". We do not recommend unlocking the frame rate. If you have a fast machine, it is far preferable to increase resolution, detail options, anti-aliasing, etc. rather than trying to achieve a higher frame rate by un-locking the Frame Limiter. This will lead to a more variable gameplay experience. - ↑ GitHub - last accessed on May 2023
