Play GTA San Andreas on Windows 11

 Ive got a new Windows 11 on my computer which i had this April 2025 it worked from the beginning on my Windows 11 and then it stopped working on my Win 11 it show EAX XD, Nvidia and freezes on black screen. I went to a computer shop so they said to me that GTA San Andreas is to old for Win 11 according to them. It can also be because of the Graphic of the Win11. They said if you update on your Windows 11 the GTA San Andreas wont work on Windows 11 but it would if you didnt update the Win 11. It worked first for me when i updated to Win11 and then it stopped working after a few weeks period it became like EAX Nvidia and freeze in black screen. They said it should be with a emulator like VMware with another Windows. I have google searched on it and couldnt find a good information and on Youtube i just found some worthless info how to get GTA San Andreas to work on Windows 11. I have tried with Steam and also with properties and delete the GTA San Andreas User Files on My Documents and non of them worked. I have tried with some mods like silentpatch, downgrade and modloader didnt work. According to the shop they said that you might need to use Bluestacks or any emulator for old games to play GTA San Andreas on Win 11 im trying my best to help you to get to play GTA San Andreas on Win11 so see some more below here.

Warning Advices

Avoid oceangames.com and getintomypc.net

Here is an advice. I saw there was on the oceangames.com and getintomypc.net about GTA San Andreas for Windows 11. Do not go to the oceangames.com and getintomypc.net it contains viruses and will ruin your computer and i will not recommend those pages at all. I found out on oceangames.com and getintomypc is both scam pages and contains virus and will ruin your computer.
