+== 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.
