Can't downgrade from 1.01 till 1.00 :/

[rootmer]

I bought my San Andreas from Gamersgate. In-game it shows the version as 1.01 but the downgrading application "gtasapatch_final.exe" says just "unknown version". Anything i should try?

gta_sa.exe size is 14,6 MB (15 368 192 bytes) ...

YGPM. Also, please upload your current gta_sa.exe and PM me the link so we can possibly add patcher compatibility with your specific version.

NO-CD crack worked.

I am just confused why the patcher didn't work. Thought that there isn't different flavors of game versions..

This .exe seems to be nothing we've encountered before. Do you mind clarifying how your game would work (before you applied the no-cd). I have no idea how Gamersgate works, I assume you have no disc and just double clicked from within Gamersgate's interface? Does Gamersgate even have a client, or is it some sort of disc downloader?

After briefly analyzing the .exe, it looks like it searches for a GTASA disc, which is confusing given that it's a digital download. I just have no idea about Gamersgate - are you able to shed any light on the situation?

Lastly, is launching it the normal way (i.e. through Gamersgate if there's a client) still functioning after installing the no-cd?

Thanks for your help

edit: I've read up a bit on Gamersgate, and gather one of its selling points is the lack of a client. This is probably too much for you to answer, but how does the install process work? Would you happen to have any idea how it manages DRM? When i try to launch your .exe it asks for the disc, which baffles me.
