GTA San Andreas User Files: where are chatlog, screenshots and settings?
Where SA-MP keeps your chat log, F8 screenshots, sa-mp.cfg and saved positions, and which file resets your game settings.
Vice Roleplay · Sources checked:
GTA San Andreas and SA-MP keep your personal files outside the game folder, in Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files. When you need a screenshot or chat log for a report, look here.
Files
| File | What it is |
|---|---|
GTASAsf1.b … GTASAsf8.b | Single-player saves. |
gta_sa.set | Display, sound and control settings. Delete it to reset them. |
SAMP\chatlog.txt | Chat log of the last session. |
SAMP\screens\ | Screenshots taken with F8. |
SAMP\sa-mp.cfg | SA-MP client settings (pagesize, fpslimit, timestamp…). |
SAMP\savedpositions.txt | Positions saved with /save. |
SAMP\rawpositions.txt | Positions saved with /rs. |
Tips
Chatlog.txt is overwritten each time you start SA-MP; copy it before reconnecting if you need it for a report.
If the game opens with a black screen or wrong resolution, deleting gta_sa.set resets the settings.
