Patching the Games
To play online, your game executable must be patched to a compatible version. This process is called Downgrading. 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):
Get-FileHash gta_sa.exe -Algorithm SHA256
- On Linux:
sha256sum gta_sa.exe
Ensure the output matches the hash listed above exactly. If it does not match, do not use the file.
