A modder named Dryxio demonstrates GTA III and Vice City running as real-time textures inside Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, letting CJ play the older games within San Andreas (and even display Vice City on a billboard). The setup supports full progression and saves, highlighting how fan-made mods push the series beyond its original scope ahead of GTA VI.
CSUB associate professor Matthew Herman says the southern San Andreas and San Jacinto faults have built up high stress for more than 160 years, raising the risk of a large, multi‑fault earthquake. He warns residents to plan ahead and practice drop, cover and hold on during shaking, noting that even quakes far away can have a big local impact. Kern County has stronger building codes than decades ago, but preparedness remains essential.
A 1,000-year modeling study of Southern California’s San Andreas and San Jacinto faults shows current tectonic stresses at or near the highest levels in the past millennium, heightening quake hazard. The Cajon Pass junction may act as an “earthquake gate” that could allow large ruptures to cross both faults, potentially increasing damage if such an event occurs. The research does not predict when a quake could happen, but it provides a physics-based hazard framework to improve preparedness for California and other complex fault systems.
A modding team is developing 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The Nextgen Edition,' a remake of the classic game using the latest GTA V engine, offering fans an enhanced experience while awaiting GTA 6, with details kept cautious due to past legal issues.
The latest update to GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition has significantly improved the visual and gameplay experience, particularly for San Andreas, by restoring classic lighting and weather effects. This update, developed by Video Games Deluxe, addresses many issues from the 2021 launch, making the games feel closer to their original artistic vision. The improvements, inspired by a recent Netflix port, enhance the nostalgic appeal for both old and new players, despite some remaining technical imperfections.
A former Rockstar developer, Obbe Vermeij, has finally explained the random glitch in GTA San Andreas that caused small planes to crash. He revealed that issues with the planes spawning and the code itself occasionally caused the planes to perish, as the code looked for obstacles in the plane's path but sometimes failed to detect thin obstacles. Additionally, planes would sometimes lose height after being generated, and collision would be loaded after the plane had already been created, resulting in doomed flight paths. Despite considering removing fly-bys entirely, Vermeij did not, and the random plane crashes have been seen as comedic relief in the GTA community.
A former Rockstar developer has revealed the mystery behind the crashing planes in GTA San Andreas, explaining that the code for creating fly-by planes sometimes failed to detect obstacles, leading to their frequent crashes. Despite considering removing the feature, the chaotic moments remained in the game, adding to its memorable spontaneity. The revelation sheds light on one of the game's long-standing mysteries, but questions about other myths and secrets in the game persist as fans eagerly await the release of GTA 6.
Multi Theft Auto, an open-source software project that adds full online support to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, has released version 1.6 which fixes numerous inconsistency issues related to high framerates, adds graphical effects, stability improvements, synchronization improvements, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements. The modding project allows players to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas with other players online.
