unhandled exception - Changing resolution

[Majestyk]

Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit

GeForce 8400 GS

AMD Athlon Dual Core Processor 4450e 2.30 GHz

3GB RAM

 

First install of Steam Version 1.1

 

I get the unhandled exception 00000005 at 005a4f14 crash when I change the resolution from 1680x1050x32 to 1280x800x32. I need to do so as due to low specs of my PC I get low frames at the native resolution.

 

I added gta3.exe to DEP and tried other fixes and still nothing works for me.

 

I also installed Silent Patch and Widescreen Fix.

Maybe try to cut (and paste it somewhere else, eg, on desktop) your gta3.set file from my documents. Also, remove SP and WF patches. Start the game, and game will run on 640x480x16 mode. Then, try to change resolution.

If it doesn't help, then I don't know.

The thing is that even after running a clean copy and changing the resolution and saving, after launching the game again the resolution reverts back to native. This happens on all of my Vice City and San Andreas too. Also I could do without Silent Patch but I really want to have a proper widescreen

Do you have Ultimate ASI Loader installed? The "ResX"/"ResY" options in the WFP can be used to override the game's resolution when you have it installed.

I just installed ASI loader and changed the resolution manually and the game works fine. Thanks for help!
