Helpful Fixes for GTA III

These are not glitches you speak of.

 

I've never heard of the money one.

 

To have no hooker interaction, tell Windows you live in Australia.

 

For no blood/gore, you'll need the German EXE. There may be other ways. Check the cheatcodes, though I think that's to turn ON the gore. Or maybe it's a toggle.

I...ahem...Downloaded GTA3, and would like to know why the radio isn't working? I did the same for Vice City and the cutscenes didn't have any sound either.

 

Some useful information? It says there are no useable MP3s

I'd say you downloaded a ripped version (an illegal game copy that's missing some parts, mostly the audio because that takes up quite some bytes).

And btw: warez discussion is strictly forbidden around here. Buy the game, or maybe not - if your parents are as strict as you make it sound, you won't have fun very long before they take it away.

"I didn't buy the game and it doesn't work." That's like saying B comes after A in the alphabet. No sh*t! Buy the game and it works. Who knew?

I have this problem. I'm playing GTA III and the game will either suddenly freeze (though the sound will continue with a delayed effect) and the monitor will either go into standby mode or turn black.

 

I have a hunch its a video card problem. For the sake of relevancy, I'm going to post my computer specs.

 

CPU: AMD Dual Core FX2 5000+

RAM: 2GB

Video Card: BFG GeForce 6600 (OCed to 512)

Operating System: Windows Media Edition 2005

Motherboard: nForce4 Chipset

 

Because of the monitor going into standby, I can only assume it's the video card, but that doesn't make sense, because I can run much more intensive games (eg NWN 2, Call of Duty 2) with nary a problem. The closest problem I have for this is for NWN 2 when my computer restarts because the vid card overheats. And even that's sporadic.

 

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. If more information is needed, please specify what you need and I'll provide the best answer I can.

My computer used to do this, turned out it was a cooling problem.

Your video card is overclocked and you have video problems. Hmm...

It came overclocked from the store shelf. There's jack I can do about it, unless there's a program that allows me to underclock a card.

 

Also, as I have noted before, much more graphics-intensive games like CoD2 and NWN2 run smoothly. There's absolutely no reason for the less-graphical GTA3 to have problems.

ok. I got GTAIII warez because they don't sell them anymore. THat's like being prosecuted for not paying for games for the snes.

 

besides, my skank parents won't let me get it, so i can't download those no blood mods, the hookers, etc.

 

German EXE. can I get it for san andreas? if so how? because if I can't I've got to go to ebay.de just to get a fricking sixteen version.

Wrong. It's perfectly available, and cheap as chips.

What about buying the game? What about listening to your "skank" parents, because, believe it or not, they have your best interests at heart? What about keeping your SA questions in the one correct spot?

Well, personally, my parents couldn't give a sh*t if I play games with swearing in them. As long as I turn the volume down to a level that's only audible to me, that is. tounge.gif But they know, anyway. My mum even BOUGHT me San Andreas! She couldn't care less about the ratings in games! (Which brings to mind the time when I was six, wandering through The Warehouse bargain store, picking up a copy of the Alone In The Dark trilogy (yes, the DOS ones), and asking my mum if I could have it. That's the only time she showed an inkling of concern that I was playing MA15+ games. And I got it, without any arguments! biggrin.gif )

i hate this! I WANT MY RADIO STATIONS BACK!!! angry.gif

Since this issue pertains to pretty much only Warez copies, your only option is to BUY the game legit-either from Wal-mart.com/wal-mart stores, Amazon.com, Target.com/Target stores, K-Mart.com/stores, Gamestop.com/stores, or from Steam(as a download). The game is dirt cheap now a days, so there is NO reason to not buy the game legit.

 

If by a chance this is a legit copy, post screen shots of the discs and the case the game came in as proof, or it is considered Warez. Just a benefit of the doubt.

 

@Ace Vale, is your copy a legit one?-Is it the retail version or a downloaded version? If downloaded, from where?
