KoLSPD2 Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Hello, I have the PC edition of GTA3 installed, and yes I purchased it, and here's the problem: "Please insert Grand Theft Auto III - disc 2 into the drive or press ESC to cancel." - Hello, the CD is not scratched. This is probably because of incompetent parents, and here's my laughable computer stats: -OS: Windows 98 -Processor: 697MHz -Video Card: Intel® 82810E Graphics Controller -CD speed: 4x CD speed (soon to be dead) -Manufacturer: Compaq I need help here alot, and my dad is refusing to get a new CD drive, and he's very impatient. Mom once in a blue moon made a phone call to the computer guy, and he wasn't there, so she left a message. Belligerent parents, waged with parents more concerned on purchasing alcohol and all that sh*t than getting a computer upgraded for their siblings (I share this computer with my brother). On another note, when I was playing, the game lagged in 3rd person, and I had to play in overhead mode, with having no clue on where Claude was. Any suggestions? You know where to get some of these upgrades cheap? Help needed. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/185432-im-getting-really-annoyed-with-this/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeTi Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 have you installed and played that version of gta3 before? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/185432-im-getting-really-annoyed-with-this/#findComment-2785065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoLSPD2 Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 *slight bump* I played it on another computer, and it works perfectly. I don't know what's going on with this computer. Then again, I have no internet access on that computer.

PresidentKiller Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 *slight bump* I played it on another computer, and it works perfectly. I don't know what's going on with this computer. Then again, I have no internet access on that computer. That's your CD-ROM drive... it's dying slowly... GTAIII CAN be played in "regular" (not top-down) view with those specs. I played it on a computer like that back when the game was just released. Just don't expect "stunning" performance and prepare for (almost) hourly crashes and/or messed-up graphics. Get a new drive, they aren't THAT expensive nowadays...
