Click the appropriate game logo below to download the required patch.
After downloading, verify the file's SHA256 hash to ensure integrity before replacing your existing executable.

== Installation Instructions ==
# Download the correct executable for your game.
# Navigate to your game installation directory.
# Backup your original executable.
# Replace it with the downloaded patched version.
# Launch the game through the multiplayer client.
'''Note:''' GTA IV does not use a direct executable replacement. See [[DowngradingIV]] for its specific process.
== Verifying File Integrity ==
To verify the SHA256 hash:
* On Windows (PowerShell):
  <pre>Get-FileHash gta_sa.exe -Algorithm SHA256</pre>
* On Linux:
  <pre>sha256sum gta_sa.exe</pre>
Ensure the output matches the hash listed above exactly. If it does not match, do not use the file.
