Quantom X

Other mistake: CJ can order his gang members to attack a cop, and the cop won't do anything, except sometimes run away. They can shoot at, hit, and knife the cops, with any retaliation being rare. But all CJ has to do during the attack is point a gun in the cop's direction and suddenly the cop is all about trying to bust or waste CJ.

Bug: If in 2 player mode, you throw a grenade then the two players kiss, the grenade's explosion never happens.

Quantom X

Bug: When using a 2 player icon, often when both players get in the vehicle, one of them does not automatically switch to a fireable weapon in the vehicle. Sometimes both players. The game's programing switches your weapon to the submachine guns for drivebys, but sometimes won't. And you can't change weapons once in the vehicle, so you can be stuck holding a useless gun or melee weapon and have to get out, then back in to use the right one, making it very inconvenient during a police chase. Sometimes player two can still use the incorrect weapon, like shooting out with the M4. This can also happen in 1 player, but is very very rare.

Quantom X

Bug: Every now and then, if you crash your bike into a car, they will murge together and stick. Sparks fly and after a few seconds of vibrating, both explode.

Quantom X

Bug: There is a slanted bridge in Los Flores. The guard rail like barriors are not solid and a bike can be driven right through them.

Quantom X

Trivia: The 3 cities in this game actually represent and are supposed to loosely mirror 3 real cities. Los Santos is Los Angeles, California. San Fierro is San Francisco, California. And Los Venturas is Las Vegas, Nevada.

Quantom X

Bug: This glitch can happen in other areas, but it is most common at the game's airports. Due to the area proximity vehicle spawning, where vehicles off an area are programmed to spawn if you are in or near that area, vehicles that don't belong can spawn in wrong spots. Like if you drive or walk past an air port, forklifts and luggage cars can spawn on the highway near by, as well as regular vehicles randomly driving around in the airport. It is funny when the speed glitch combines with this and you see a fork lift blasting down the Las Venturas highway at 90 MPH.

Quantom X

Bug: On certain roads and highways, traffic can get a super speed glitch. Most notably on the highway that circles Las Venturas. Cars will start jumping around a little in their movements and be doing apparently 100+ MPH. Some will still go slow and often get rear ended causing them to stick together or even explode instantly. Very hazardous for players with slow cars.

Quantom X

Trivia: If you zoom in on the moon with the sniper rifle and shoot it, it will change size.

Quantom X

Bug: Some cheat codes are incompatible with each other and cause the game to go screwy if used at the same time. If too many cheats are used at once, the game has a tendency to go nuts and even freeze.

Quantom X

Other mistake: If you pick up a hooker in a convertible and park, CJ and the hooker do their typical thing and the camera angle forces a low angle so you can't see in the windows as the car begins rocking and the two make sexual moans. But if you do this in a convertible, you can still see CJ and the hooker just sitting still in the front seats facing forward, not moving at all except for their mouths moving when they talk. The same can be seen if you manage the difficult task of getting a hooker in a car with the doors broken off.

Quantom X

Bug: Sometimes when exiting a building, a random plane will fall from the sky and explode near by. It seems to happen more often in cities. It seems to happen most when leaving a Burger Shot in San Fierro. This is a rare glitch. I have even had the plane kill me a couple times.

Quantom X

Bug: If you go to the light house area of the beach in Los Santos and start a gang war, sometimes the enemy gang members will spawn under water and be standing on the ocean floor shooting up at you. This is comical to see, and makes it difficult to kill them.

Quantom X

Bug: Get in a jet and fly towards a corner of the map and keep going. Make sure the jet has autopilot leveling, and leave the control alone. Works better if the cheat for no hunger is activated. Fly off the map and keep going for hours (in game time), approx 12 or so. Then jump out and kill yourself to respawn back on land. This causes the whole map to be covered with Gang Territories.

Quantom X

Bug: Go into any pizza restaurant in the game and look at the people sitting down eating. Most of them that raise pizza to their face miss their mouth. Some even are stabbing themselves in the eye with pizza.

Quantom X

Bug: Go into 2 player mode, and let player 2 pull out the Katana. If player 2 turns on CJ and kills him with that sword in such a way that his head is cut off, he will respawn in 1 player mode with no head. Just a neck stub with blood constantly spurting out. You can walk around and continue on as headless CJ until the game is reset. All of CJ's spoken lines are cut off after just a couple sounds as well once this happens.
