Questions And Answers Update Options

[Psy]

I've been receiving a lot of Questions emails lately from various people stuck at certain parts of the game. No matter how many times I reply to them, or post on the forums, I'm still getting the same things over and over, so I decided to make a front page post with the answers to the main questions that have everyone wondering. After this post, I will NOT reply to a single question related to any of the subjects mentioned. If you can't search the forums for your answer, why should I waste my time replying to the same thing 5 times a day? Anyway...

I Can't Buy Wang Cars!
In order to be able to purchase Wang Cars, you will need to have completed the Driving School with at least Bronze and passed the mission "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom" for the Triads. You will then receive a phone call from Jethro about a garage which has come up for sale. Upon buying the garage you will unlock a few missions for Cesar Vialpando, and after they have been completed you will unlock the Import/Export Crane at the docks, as well as the Wheel Arch Angels street racer mod shop.

Madd Dogg Keeps Killing Himself!
We told you once. We told you twice. Hell, we told you about fifty times. DO NOT SAVE AFTER CHEATING. Unfortunately it seems too many people don't know how to play the game properly and as a result, their game is PERMANENTLY glitched. If you saved after using any of the cheats which effect Pedestrians Behaviour they are permanently saved into the games memory and there is NO fix, apart from having to play the game through again without cheating. It's possible that a memory hack will be made which allows you to cancel out the effects, but frankly it's your own fault. We told you, and Rockstar even tell you in game, DO NOT CHEAT AND SAVE.

I Found A Hidden Mission Which Isn't On The Site!
The "Beat The Cock!" challenges are not on the site because they are not required for 100%. There are two of them, one is next to the light house on Santa Maria Beach, one is on the beach at Fisher's Lagoon. They are only available on Saturdays and Sundays in game and require you to have very good stamina. For a better chance of winning them, complete the Burglary Missions (which are also not required for 100%) and you will be awarded with Infinite Sprint, so you'll never get tired no matter how much you mash the sprint button.

When Can I Get In Didier Sachs, Victim And Zip?
Zip is opened after completing the mission "Are You Going To San Fierro?".
Victim is opened after Woozies Casino Missions are unlocked (Start of the Airfield Missions).
Didier Sachs is open after completing "A Home In The Hills".
Thanks to Perspicacious for the info.

What Do I Need To Do For Successful Girlfriend Dates?
Denise - Take her to the bar just around from her house.
Helena - Take her to the restaurant in Rodeo.
Katie - Take her to the diner just down from her house.
Michelle - Take her to the restaurant in Queens.
Barbara - Take her to the diner in Tierra Robada.
Millie - Turn up to her house wearing the Gimp Suit, or take her to the Craw Bar towards the centre of Las Venturas.

Also be aware that having collected all 50 Oysters, your girlfriends will never leave you, so they will pretty much be there whenever you turn up. If you're having problems catching the girls at home, get all of the oysters and try again.

Where Can I Find The Andromada / SWAT Tank?
Both of these vehicles are only in the game on one mission each. You'll see the Andromada in the mission Stowaway for the airfield (and you'll also partially see it in "A Home In The Hills", thanks to Tootsie_roll). It's the large plane that you have to drive into the back of before it takes off. The SWAT Tank is seen a few times in the last mission of the game; End Of The Line. Neither of these vehicles appear anywhere else in game apart from on those missions, however there are cheats and/or mods to enable you to spawn these vehicles wherever you want.

How Can I Lose Muscle?
The only way you can lose muscle is by not eating for a few game days. After all of your fat has gone, you will start to lose muscle too. This is a long process and will take you a good 5-10 hours of real time, or more before you lose it all.

What Happens If I Take Over All Of The Gang Territories?
Once you own 100% of the gang territories, you will never have another gang war in game again (providing you have no more missions left which automatically create enemy gang territories). This is good because it stops you being constantly annoyed by the "Your Territory Is Under Attack" messages, but can take away some of the fun after you've finished the game. Note that taking over gang territories is not required for 100% completion of the game. Everything that is required is noted on the 100% Checklist.

If you have any other questions which I may have missed, email me and let me know and I'll try to update this news post. I won't be answering any questions about PC version problems yet because they can be caused by a number of different factors. I suggest people look in the PC Version forums for answers to any problems you may be having. I'll also mention again that if people email me any of the questions above, their email will be instantly deleted. Hopefully that will help the people in need of it.

Cool I actually didn't know that the beat the cock missions aren't required for 100% XD

[BreathMints]

That's good, but I noticed you aren't sure about when Zip, Victim & DS opened. I'll tell you so that you can correct it.

Zip: After the mission "Are you going to San Fierro?"
Victim: You recieve a phonecall from Woozie, he says you should go and see him, he wants to give you a business appropiation or something like that.
Didier Sachs: After the mission "A home in the hills"

Hope that helps.

OMG, TY psy! these questions have been repeated SO many times I feel like my fingers are going to fall right off if I have to explain how to get Wang Auto ONE MORE TIME. Hopefully this will help!

[HeavensJester]

Oh Psy, you love the emails really.

[Tootsie_Roll]

Just one thing to add in.

I believe the Andromada is in 2 missions. 'Stowaway' and 'Home in the Hills'.

'Home in the Hills' is when you take Madd Dogg's house back from Big Poppa and you parachute onto Madd Dogg's roof.

[Caliguy]

Well, it's good to know that taking the time to make that list will cut a lot of time down replying to emails, hopefully .

I'm sure you all already know this "trick" but if your territory comes under attack you can go to one of your safe houses and save your game, and come back out to the street and the gang war is over and you kept your territory.

Now when I first did this, I went into ammunation and bought some guns and came back out and the war was over, not sure if it was a glitch, but that worked 3-4 times then after that it didnt work for some reason. So Right as I was giong to save my game a war happend and i saved anway, so all of this happend by chance. Hope this helps any of you who are still going through the gang wars.

[rwkaratedude]

Hey yall, I'm new here. I come here a lot and decided to go ahead and register. i didn't know about the infinite sprint thing though. Thats great to know now.

I prefer just going around on a Police Bike. All you do is start the Vigilante Missions and cancel, and the gang war goes away. Simple and quick.

[Illusion2448]

Ahh I didn't know that worked too, lol!! Long time no see Psy, we used to talk all the time on AIM, not sure if ya remember me, does gtanetwork ring a bell? lol I jumped on AIM and I haven't seen ya on there for awhile. Looks like you are doin good for yourself, congrats on the UGO thing, I know that was huge! Keep up the good work,a nd let me know if you have any design work you need again.

[Psy]

Yeah, I remember you. What happened to GTANetworkOnline anyway? I was trying to check up on that site a few months ago but it was gone. I never use AIM anymore because there's too many people waiting to bug me. I just have a private list on MSN which pretty much no one gets onto.

[Illusion2448]

My job is what happend lol! I work road construction and I have no time. This winter I am planning on getting that site or some site up and running. Well if you are ever on there shoot me a message.

[Platinum]

I thought you were planning on buying a home or something. Do you remember me? Probably not. I'll talk to you on AIM if I see you.

[izghitu]

i have a problem
when i go to a mission of R on the map, where i must steal something from the national guard i recieve an gta-san.exe error message

and the second problem is when i go on a mission to CV the screen becomes dark and nothing happens

please can somebody help me?

[trep316]

izghitu, not sure if this is the right place to ask that question.... try this:

goto start>run and type dxdiag.exe
goto sound tab and lower the sound acceleration either to basic or none.

[gtamasta]

Not sure how this works yet,but ill try Im refering to the post "where to find Andromada and Swat tank". In the last mission End of the Line,you can find the Swat tank. But cannot bring it with because ofthe mission,well,if you save before the mission,and go into it. When youre in,take the tank,and drive it to the garage in the hood!! Get mission failed somehow,and go save. And you have the tank.

BUT! If you are out driving it and it blows up,remeber to load....

A Word about Fat & Muscle:

Make CJ run his ass off. Runners are boneyards, he'll lose fat & muscle in no time. Also swimming excessively & riding the bicycle, he'll be a bag of bones before you know it. You can starve him a bit, but eating salads should keep him nice & skinny.
