Lack of widescreen support for San Andreas v3.0

Last Updated: February 6, 2024

Question: I downloaded GTA San Andreas through Steam and the only version available is v3.0, which doesn't allow me to set the resolution to 16:9 (1280 x 720, 1600 x 900, 1920 x 1080).  What can I do?

Answer: We have received some reports that the Steam version of San Andreas (gta-sa.exe v3.0) does not support widescreen resolutions whereas the older versions did.  This is under investigation and we would recommend subscribing to this article, which we will update as soon as we have new information. 

Update 12/9/14: This issue has been resolved in the patch for GTA: San Andreas released today.
