Patching the Games

To play online, your game executable must be patched to a compatible version.

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

  1. Download the correct executable for your game.
  2. Navigate to your game installation directory.
  3. Backup your original executable.
  4. Replace it with the downloaded patched version.
  5. Launch the game through the multiplayer client.

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.

GTA IV

GTA IV requires a specific downgrade process rather than a direct executable replacement.

See DowngradingIV for detailed instructions.
