NPC Deloading Issue in GTA San Andreas with Widescreen Fix Mod

[Monostane]

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue in GTA San Andreas related to NPCs disappearing after a certain distance, which does not seem to be normal behavior.

The problem is particularly evident when aiming with a sniper rifle. NPCs vanish after a specific range, making it impossible to interact with them or hit them. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that this issue is caused by the Widescreen Fix mod. Upon disabling the mod, the NPCs in the distance render as expected, and I am able to hit them.

I have attempted several adjustments to the in-game settings, such as maximizing the draw distance and experimenting with anti-aliasing, but none of these changes resolved the issue. The only solution I’ve found so far is to disable the mod entirely, which is unfortunate as it removes the enhancements the mod provides.

For instance, during the "Local Liquor Store" mission, I tried to snipe the three robbers on the quad bikes using the hunting rifle. However, they disappear as soon as they reach a certain distance, and I am unable to hit them.

To clarify, I followed the Essentials Mods Guide thoroughly and ensured that all steps were completed accurately. I even updated certain mods mentioned in the guide, including SilentPatch and CLEO (from version 4.41 to 4.44).

I am seeking assistance to resolve this issue without disabling the Widescreen Fix mod entirely. If anyone has encountered this issue and found a workaround, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Thank you.
