As I saw Spuds275 already mentioned it, I thought i'd let everyone know. There is a glitch in the Gang Warfare system. This happend to me several times, but it's not fatal. When in a gang war, DO NOT go inside ANY buildings. otherwise everything outside goes away. The map will continue to blink, and if you run away it tells you to get back to the fight, but nothing is there, and nothing will spawn there. So if you just keep running away from the disputed territory, eventually it will tell you that you abandoned the fight, and it will reset itself. so, if you run into the cluckin' bell to refill your health during a turf war, the fight will be over and you'll have to do it again. Just to let you guys know, sorry if this is already known.

I've done this about five or six times and only had that happen to me once, so you may be able to get away with it. The one time it did happen to me was inbetween waves of the war.
 
coolest glitch I have come across is stealing a car carrier truck, getting out, driving the nws van on it, running around the block ( away from cops ) come back to find the car carrier has vanished, but the news van is still suspended in its state in mid air as if still on the truck....for the hell of it I shot at it once with the hand gun and it fell down....weird !

Hasn't happened to me yet, and I've done it around 3 or 4 times.

It's just a common glitch that happens occasionally. I'd say not to do it alot, but do it if you aer in real need of Health.
 
Also when in San Fierro, by the entrance to the gant bridge before its unlocked, theres a sign and cars going to drive over the bridge, hit the sign and get air then get stuck on one of the bridge suppost beams, smokin there tyres.
 
Yeah. Well in the Mission where you drive yourself and Smoke after the train, if you fail it, you can see the Train go right through the barrier blocking you from San Fierro, without damaging it. Also, when I first made my way to San Fierro, the Tram was hitting cars all the time. Not sure if this gets better.

If it doesn't get better, that certainly sucks.
 
I've been in for emergency food during fights maybe 5 or 6 times now, it doesn't happen to me.

Maybe your PS2 is on it's way out?
 
when i completed the mission where CJ and ryder collect the crates with the forklift, i escaped back to the alleyway and spoke to the guy with the guns for free.
after the small video, i was about to leave the area and head back to save, when i spotted the van we had just been using, floating in mid air.
no explanation for it, it was just up about three feet.
engine still running.
so i snapped at it with my camera, its in my foto collection.
i cant post it tho, cos im not as technical as you guys with your tv cards and such...
 
Just use a Digital Camera. But there are a few glitches with this game. It was expected. Nothing bothers me too much. I haven't had the food glitch yet, so I haven't been too annoyed by any glitch so far.
 
Here's a small minor glitch that doesn't break anything...
(Not sure if this works outside of LS)

Load up the game and pause it and go check your Stats... Gangs... and then look at the 1st biggest gang, 2nd Biggest Gang & 3rd Biggest Gang... They all say Ballas 0.

C.
 
Not on mine. Your game must have really messed up somewhere. I check that regularly to see certain things, never happened.
 
It happened today when I first loaded the game up and paused before I went anywhere...

As soon as I stepped out of the front door of CJ's house things were fine again...

Now of course the 2nd and 3rd biggest gang are 0 anyways!!

C.
 
I was blurring the screen with my NRG 500 last night while playing ( flying down the highway ) and some dude FLEW by me in a fork lift !!!! Cops hot on his tail...how the hell did the forklift go so freaking fast ??????!!!>>> I was maxed out on the racing bike ! Weird !
 
I was on the highway yesterday and passed a police car with just the roof and lights above ground-- the rest of the car was stuck in the ground---oops.....I'm still pretty impressed by this game.
 
Alright, everyone has their official thing, so here's mine.. And i figured it would be a benefit in some ways to people knowing about these bugs.. Anywho, to start the list off:

  • Inability to enter buildings during gang warfare, otherwise enemies no longer spawn (only happens occasionally) - 87chevy's thread
  • The garage that seems solid but actually isnt. Only found in trying my method of getting the patriot (details)
  • When trying to store more than 4 cars in the garage, 1 will dissapear to keep the number at 4. - Not necessarily a bug, but garages are only made to store 4 cars MAXIMUM per garage.
  • Dissapearing garage cars - Happens sometimes for no apparent reason. Happened to me once a few saves after i put a buffalo in my garage.. the buffalo dissapeared. Sometimes this will leave any cars with a special paint job, paint-job less and white.
  • Cars in garage turning white - Happens randomly, but not often. Happens only to cars with special paint jobs.
  • House in las venturas' door angled wrong - The houses front door is angled wrong.. It appears open when you first arrive, and then when trying to walk through, it moves as if it is opening, but moves from its current position. It doesn't fix itself, either.. It's permanent. (Located in actual city area, 1 buyable house east of the western most house you can buy that is still within las venturas city limits)
  • Biggest gangs and smallest gangs in stats menu, all say Ballas 0 on game load - From yeti's post
  • Peds getting stuck in odd position after death (sometimes) - Jimmy Enslashay

And thats it for now. If you have any bugs, list em here and i'll put 'em up!
 
my customized stallion diseappered when I put the gt40 looking car in my garage and for some reason my black sentinel start to sink into the golden gate bridge when I avoided a train
 
I think the first two aren't necessarily bugs either. Not being able to go into buildings during gang fights could mean the people inside have locked the doors to keep the crazies out. Or R* just wants you to stay involved in the storyline. And the bit about the garage - you should nose around a bit. There could be a secret prize there.
 
The first one is a bug as you Can enter the building but when you come back out the gangs don't come back...

C.
 
OK... here's one that happened to me yesterday... I was driving around outside Denise's house (Had some flowers waiting for her to be in)... and I spied some Ballas... (Bearing in mind at this point the Ballas only had two territorries in Santa Monica) so I thought that's weird... got out and mowed them down with me AK...

Much to my surprise... it started a gang war in that territory... and I had the usual 3 waves of dudes attacking me... I maimed them and "The hood was mine" (again!).

C.
 
I had read somewhere (can't remember where) that during a vigilante mission if you keep going into a building and out again (and remembering to get into your police car) you will intime get the lvl complete and the bonus. I tried and it did work right up to lvl 12 (it could go on longer but I stopped there as the game had crashed when I tried earlier). But it only works with the car not the bike. Now, is this a bug or what?
 
Level 12 is probs the level you "complete" it and get some bonus... did it crash when you "passed" level 12 or a lot later?

Also I hear that there is a freezing problem in the last cutscene of the last mission... (Not there myself) For some people it is freezing after you complete the mission... but for those same people if they play it again it's OK... seems a bit random...

C.
 
And the transporter/packer disappearing act. You leave the packer briefly, with a car on the back, and when you return the packer is gone and the car is still there. Suspended in mid air. :irked:
 
I've heard the Train does that in "Wrong side of the tracks"... (Jimmy enmoday said that!)

C.
 
I think the bug that pisses me off the most is the "sinking" effect when running / walking up a hill or down a hill, sometimes you sink in and get stuck..I wish they could have fixed that by now, but it has been in GTA3, VC, and now SA...you'd think that would've been taken car of by now !
 
I think this is a glitch.
Are the airports meant to be locked until you complete pilot school?

I crashed into the gate of the San Fierro airport on a bike and when I was getting back on, the gate opened. I've tried it a few times and it always works.


KM.
 
Well Los santos airport just needs a car and a fit CJ. Park the car by the perimeter wall, jump on the car and jump into the airport. Easy.
