Paisan™ Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Same thing is happening with GTA VC. Both games are the original discs, version 1.0. The only way I've changed the game is by using ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix, and Silent's SilentPatch. OS: Windows 10 GPU: GeForce GTX 1070 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Memory: 16GB DDR4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Bogdanoff Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Sounds like issue with obaiting path to documents. No way of fixing this wihtout using mods. (Or maybe creating new windows account without using email adress, or using special symbols. But i dont know if that works). Also compatibility mod or running as admin could work.

stef_92 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Sorry, I kinda missed the part where you mentioned SilentPatch. Well if I remember corectly there was a script that fixed an issue with finding gta 3 user files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Bogdanoff Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Maybe patch 1.1 can help you https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200147116(if you dont want to use mods) Or if you want mod, but only to "fix" this issue, you could use portable gta mod by the hero, which would move your save directory to root of your gta 3 installationhttp://aap.papnet.eu/gta/workshop/portablegta.dll (needs asi loader, and dll must be renamed to asi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisan™ Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Portable GTA didn't work, and I can't patch my game for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Bogdanoff Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 What version do you have? Have you tried running as admin? And whats wrong with using silentpatch, as it fixes few more compatibility issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisan™ Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 What version do you have? 1.0 Have you tried running as admin?. Yes. And whats wrong with using silentpatch, as it fixes few more compatibility issues. I'm already using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Bogdanoff Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Oh i read it wrong with the WS fix and Silentpatch. Anyway, check documents if you have some save folder already there. Do you have local windows account, or microsoft account (aka you are using email adress) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisan™ Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Yes I do have a save folder in My Documents. I have a local account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Bogdanoff Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Try renanimg or removing that folder and then saving. Also i am not sure if the mods (SilentPatch especially) works on the original exe. Or do you have nocd exe? if not try googling it, or send me a pm, i will send it to ya.

Paisan™ Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 I deleted the set. file out of the User Files, but that didn't help.+ Also i am not sure if the mods (SilentPatch especially) works on the original exe. Of course it does! And it's not really a mod, it's more life a 'fix'. do you have nocd exe? Yes. I tried with SilentPatch, and without WS Fix, I tried with WS Fix and without Silent, I tried without either, and I tried again with both. I renamed the User Files folder, I moved it around, made a new one, but still nothing. Nothing is working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef_92 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) As far as I rember just installing cleo (even without using cleo scripts) it fixes some issues related to the file system. Also have you tried running in compatibility mode? Windows 10 can be pain in the a** for some old games Edited February 4, 2018 by stef_92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I may just have to re-install the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef_92 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Looks like I may just have to re-install the game.You mean... You didn't do that yet? Do it, it's not like re-installing an OS after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisan™ Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 I re-installed both III and VC, but guess what, they STILL don't work. I honestly have no idea what the hell is going on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azoo95 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) In my case, it was all down to OneDrive sync. GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas store the save files in C:\User\<user name>\Documents\, and Windows 10 tries to sync the folder up to the OneDrive cloud, which prevent the game from saving. The solution is to stop backing up your Documents folder. 1) Right click OneDrive tray icon. 2) Click Settings. 3) Click Backup tab. 4) Click Manage backup button. 5) Click Stop Documents backup. An alternative way is to set Compatibility to "Windows 98 / Windows Me", so that the game can save the files in C:\Users\Public\Documents\ instead of C:\User\<user name>\Documents\. 1) Right click on gta3.exe in File Explorer. 2) Click Compatibility tab. 3) Select Windows 98 / Windows Me for Compatibility mode. 4) Click OK.
