Cleve, M,group regs....

A few Members on the site I'm an administrator for have tested this.
Many of us don't have the ball glitch, and we never saved at Madd
Dogg's. The few who tested it have saved there, and came up with the
basketball glitch, where there are no balls on any of the courts.

They have now re-started new games twice each, never saved at Madd
Dogg's, and still don't have the ball glitch these play-throughs..

May be a possible fix, and I've ran it past a few site's fellow
administrators. We're getting more players to check it.
So, submitted here for your approval, information, or verification.
If you have the basketball glitch, do you remember saving at Madd
Dogg's mansion? I never have, and never came up with the glitch both
play-throughs.

Everytime I get too bulked out and can't work out, well we know how to
remedy this. Lose muscle and gain some fat, work out again no problem.
But the basketball glitch we have yet to be able to help anyone with.
I'd like to put it into our SA FAQ that by not saving at Madd Dogg's,
you may avoid the ball glitch.

Obviously if people have saved there, and still play hoop, this may
not be the case. I go through countless old posts on the site, and
finally started this testing up based on a guy's post last year, that
no one listened to. Now the few Members who have tested it, are
convinced. See if it works for you -thanks.

Cool, man. I'll give it a shot. I still have basketball available in my
second play-through. (I'm still in SA, messing with the missions.) No
saving a Madd Dogg's. I'll try it. It'll take awhile, though. I'll be
"mission-messing" for a long time (AND I'm still exploring the world in
detail).

Speaking of Madd Dogg's, has anyone else encountered those invisible
vehicles in his game room yet? I've reported that a couple of times in this
group and never had anyone else say they've encountered it. (Just search
+"madd dogg" +"invisible" in Google Groups to see my earlier posts.)

I've tried to run into them as you specified.
Still can't. Have seen the sunken forklift, near the
Uninque Jump at the LS docks. No Madd Dogg's vehicles though.

Have you noticed, returning from the SF export dock crane, or the
NRG Challenge (love that thing - still trying to beat my own record)
going up the RR tracks, you hit an invisible barrier briefly?
Once I even flipped a Banshee. It's right as the tracks leading out
of that area enter under the street....weird.

But yeah we hope that guy's long-forgotten post
of 'don't save at Madd Dogg's' will work for you
and others who experience this tragic bug,
because playing hoop is fun!
At $50 a crack, everything after 100% must be fun.
I'm just still recording NRG stunts and
upping criminal rank on LV safe house rooftops
with infinite HS-RPG ammo.
I've explored every house and alley, all 3 islands,
made the weapons/bribes/armor/sprunk spawn maps,
but haven't been messing with missions
like you have. You're the KING of that Cleve. :)

I have noticed this as well. Cars that are lower to the ground are
usually more affected than bikes or trucks. Sometimes that is...

Thats is my normal route when in SF, the NRG500 is the only bike i'll
ride.. other than BMX of course.

Huh. I'll have to go look. Didn't know about that. Thanks.

Doesn't seem to do it driving down towards the crane though. The amount
of times I've flipped my brand spanking new sports car is unreal.

Looks quite impressive in the cinematic camera though, and you can get
some really good air using a fast car with nitro and a long run up.


Cheers,
Rob
