DanielD78 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 GTA 3 crashes, when I start the mission of Catalina on Shoreside Vale, named 'the exchange' in the intro. This game runned in my computer abput 1 year ago, but my computer's video card was upgraded from NVIDIA GEforce MX 440 to RADEON 9250, and the memory was increased from 256 MB to 768 MB till that. I always turn off anti-virus protections before I start the game, only my firewall is turned on. Can you help me? Is my video card bad?

If you re-install GTA3, You will not lose your save games, they are in My Documents\GTA3 User Files, and the uninstallation process won't delete them.
