I wish there was a 'predictible' grey hell in real life...that would be sweet ! Rob a bank, jump in the ol' grey area, boom, on the other side of town buying a squishy with your ill-gotten gains.
 
I just got a jump distance of 1,905 meters. I think there is a glitch not just with the quarry mission but with the dumptruck itself. I was driving in it running things over when suddenly I got a insane jump of 1905 meters. I saved though because I had just done a lot of killing and blowing up stuff that I didn't want to lose. So now I can't see my real furthest jump which sucks. Anyone else expirience something like this outside of that quarry mission?

No, but my first thought when it happened to me when doing Quarry was that it mightn't be a mission glitch, it might be a problem with that vehicle, so I thought I might drive the dump truck around for a while and see what happens.

But I never bothered my arse. So there you go!

Good find, Rancid. This is weird. The Dump Truck could be SuperJumping without us seeing it. I don't really know how to explain it. It's certainly very odd, to say the least.
 
I accidentally found a way into the 'grey/blue hell' with a heli yesterday while doing vigilante. In San Fierro go west from the garage and to the two baseball fields. Just across the road to the west of the baseball fields there is a large white building with an overhanging ledge. Fly the heli right up under the overhang and down into hell. It's basically like the mansion entrance in VC.
 
Oh, awesome. Great find, Rancid. That's a good way for people to try and find the model of St. Marks Bistro and more. 👍

That happened to me when jumping from Mount Chiliad. I forgot to post this.

But I didn't have a Parachute on me. I just grabbed the parachute as normal and jumped and it didn't work properly. Exactly the same thing happened, including the second death. I just called this a dud. We got the ones with cutlery in it. :lol:

My parachute didnt open properly for me either, and i fell to my death with a dud.

Does this happen often, as it seems ther is a chance your parachute might be a dud, this game continues to suprise me 👍

Its not underground (in grey hell), they put it very high up this time (well above flight levels) -- here is a thread that discusses how some people got out of St. Marks bistro and fell back to SA (fell for a long time)---SA isn't visually loaded though.

St Marks bistro is actually east of the SF airport but really high in the air

Anyway here is the thread if anyone is interested...

Also, regarding the dump truck glitch, I originally proposed it was a problem with the dump truck and not the mission--- I think it has something to do with the height of CJ off the ground when he is in the dump truck--- he is high enough off the ground for him to register as in the air (in a vehicle--a jump) and in certain places the ground measures high enough (close enough to him in the cab) to register it as a landing and thus completeing the jump.

I don't think it's a superjump just a glitched jump....
 
Well, I don't think it's a SuperJump, but the distances resemble a SuperJump, without the actual sight of the jump. It's not a SuperJump.

Also, just read through the St. Marks Bistro information. Keep an eye on that Thread, as people will be attempting a few things around there.

I think the term Superjump should be reserved for actual jumps where your car or bike definitely leaves the ground and travels hundreds of meters and rotates hundreds or thousands of degrees. Things like the dumper truck glitch are just annoying bugs. At least the Vice City Superjumps involved a vehicle doing the rotations and travelling the distances posted for them.

yeah, well i never did a superjump, it would look cool seing your bike go flying through the air. and in SA if you did a superjump theres a good chance you wont land in water like in VC

Yeah, which is why I said I didn't think they are SuperJumps. There is only one SuperJump in San Andreas, and it is pretty poor: the Tractor-Trailer jump. Not much of a SuperJump.
 
I was reading a thread on some GTA webpage about this glitch, it's not all that useful (that I know) but it is interesting. I'll try and summerize it.

You will need full health for this.

Head into any Burger Shot, and run around to behind the counter.
Line yourself up between the 2 grey metal shelf things, turn just a little bit towards the worker on the left and jump on to the counter. That part will probably take several tries.

Once you have jumped on the counter so that your head is sticking into the roof, turn right and walk around the counter to the Sprunk dispenser.
You should see a black void and the bathrooms behind the machine, just walk into the black emptyness. You will fall for quite a while, and land with just a bit of your health left.

Welcome to the Black Hell. It is really just the city of San Andreas (namely the Hospital in that redneck town where that one girl is on top of Ammu-Nation) but with no textures loaded. There are peds, cops, weapons, stores and such but no cars (because to the PS2 you are still in Burger Shot).

If you manage to find a way inside a building (Ammu-Nation is the closest/easiest to find) and leave, the world will load again but the map will be distorted.
 
That's weird. And if you save like that, does it stay distorted? Seeing that we can't get to St. Marks through the hells, the whole hell thing is kind of over now for me. They are simply glitches to me now, rather than a way to get somewhere, although this "hell" sounds different to the rest.
 
I dont know if this qualifys as a glitch but I lost a save file using the max drive to extract the photo gallery...Thats my 100 % complete game with 164 + hrs....I'm a bit pissed . There's no way I can find to uncorrupt the file/ save. i'm not looking forward to doing it over from scratch right now....I started this game the night it came out...R.I.P. game save.. :ouch:
 
not sure if this a glitch or not, but i assume this is the most appropriate thread.. anyway -- i went to save my game a few minutes ago and noticed that it said "one or more cheats have been enabled blah blah".. now i have never used a cheat, in fact i dont even know any of them.. and i know no on else did it.. earlier i remember having to press x an extra time when saving (i usually go through the process quickly) and didn't really think anything of it and saved the game... as far as i can tell it hasn't affected anything.. my percentage is still at 100% and my cr is still at 233k but it says "this may affet your save game. it is recommended that you do not save this game" and that kinda worries me, since i saved accidentally the first time.. :(
 
I used the memory manager to transfer my save to Max drive to extract the photo gallery. When I went to boot up the game I got a " save data corrupted " message . I tried to load up my back up save by switching cards..but no dice and the data on the max drive was screwed up too.....so now I need 100 % ...again , I'll most likely get a game save someplace because I just cant see starting from scratch . Anyone know where I can get a max drive game save ?
 
to bad man, im sorry to hear that.

IM not sure, check out gtaforums or gamefaqs
 
I see that the old car eating garage bug is back. I stole a Rhino from the Restricted Area and when I went to drop it off in the hangar at the airfield, it had eaten a Bandito, a Quadbike and a Sanchez. Only the Monster that I'd left there remained. The garage beside the abandoned AC tower has also eaten a Bandito on me.

Also, has anyone noticed that garage doors sometimes refuse to open for ages? Sometimes I'll walk up to a garage to get a car out of it and the door just won't open. I'll go away and come back and still nothing happens. Sometimes I have to leave CJ standing beside the garage for 2 or more minutes before it'll open.

I've noticed it happening especially at the Doherty Garage and both the hangar and garage at Verdant Meadows (these are my 2 most regular save spots).

YES!!! of all the glitches this p!sses me off the most! Highly annoying. I'm a little disappointed in R*, I don't remember the other games having noticable glitches like this one (still a great game though)......
 
Im starting to think that the way scores are kept in the shooting range is messed up or the opposition can hit several target at once in the shotgun round 3.

I have been beaten when one of the others had 18 in one shot several times. Is this for real or am I imagining things. :scared:

I have noticed this, although I don't get it at the Doherty Garage. I mainly got it at The Johnson House and my save house on Windy Hill Road. I am also disappointed by this.

I haven't had any cars eaten though.

yep, bastards wont open sometimes, especially in SF garage. argh. and it eats my cars as well, and if i mod a car at wheel arch angels and leave it in the garage for too long the paintjob goes and the car is just plain white. lol
 
I've never had it happen and if one of my cars has been eaten, it wasn't one I missed-- sucks to be you guys.
