LMo666 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hi peoples, Not new to these forums, but couldn't remember my password for my old account. Anyway, i'll get to the point. I install GTA3, it works fine, it will run fine as well...But...I can't change the resolution when first starting to play a new game, in the settings. It crashes. Like, it freezes, and will do nothing, then when i press enter (and that's the only button that will do anything) it exits GTA3. I'm running an AMD64 3700+, 1GB DDR400 RAM, Nvidia 6600GT. By all rights, i should be able to play this game at at least 1024x768...but i'm stuck on the lowest setting. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakorama Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) As soon as you open gta3 that is before you load the city or a game go into options and change resolution i think thats what your trying to do Edited November 25, 2006 by Futurama_Freak1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMo666 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Yes, that is what i am trying to do, but the game crashes when i try to do that, i get to the options ok, and i can change the settings from 640x480 to 1024 and above, BUT, i can't set them, as soon as i left click, or press enter, the game crashes.

MrIncubus Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 1 possible fix would be for some nice person to goto his GTA3 User Files in my documents and copy the gta3.set file change his res then post the differences not 100% sure this is the file where the res settings are stored but it seems like the most likely spot for them. i would but im having the same prob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now what is it the resolution is needed to be set to? I can do it for you guys if you tell me what it is you need it set to. No you can't. While it is true that the SET file stores the resolution, it also saves data indigenous to the PC configuration on which it was first created. Meaning that while you might end up with the same resolution, you'll end up with configuration for a graphics card you don't have, etc. It might be an idea to delete the file, though.

jarjar Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Ah yes, your right, I didn't take that into consideration. Thanks for pointing that out Fuzzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrIncubus Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hmm This is true But i was actualy just hoping for the differnces in the file not the file its self like say address 013b was 0e changed to 0f after res change this of course would reqiure a hex editor but im sure theres loads free 1s out there. most hex editors have a compare tool/function to compare files saving time looking for diffs.

brew2705 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I had the same problem. I fixed it by changing the compatibility to win98. with the windows compatibility thing you get when you click gta3.exe>properties>compatibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
