Went on GTASA yesterday, said it needed to update, I let it, I go onto it, choose my 67% save game and it brings up the first mission! I then go onto Youtube, find Totalbiscuits video on it, and he explains that the "update" removes 12 songs, enables mouse steering by default and corrupts some save games. Heres the video on the matter, skip to 9:19 for the bit on GTA SA

Wow, just wow. I hope you had a backup.

Yeah they did a patch for some song licensing issues.Removed 17 songs and did some other things.Below is the news feed that was posted on steam.And at the bottom of the news feed it talks about someone named ‘Silent’ made a Beta patch to help with that issue.I did not install this patch  cause i am not currently on SAMP or SA atm, so make sure you follow directions and back stuff up if needed.

That post explains why the beta patch link i posted was made 4 months ago.The beta patch must have been made preemptively for this update.Hopefully it fixes the issue.

Nope, my saves VERY RARELY get corrupted, so I just leave them. My only options are to A: Start the game again B: Download a save game (Which 99% of the time wont work) OR downgrade my game to use my old save, which I haven't done before but think I know how to do it

Thanks for those links. Best news about the update is that we can remap controller triggers (Yay I can play GTASA properly with my DS3 now!). I mainly listen to K-DST so was sad to see some songs from there go but its only 2 or 3 from that station. The only thing I ever did on GTASA was REAL CARS OF GTASA, which made all vehicles into their realistic counterparts, and downgraded the game.
