re: **General In Game Problem Thread

Just like Craig, I can't load my saves in GTA3,
And it ain't no config problem (I'm so :
-AMD XP 1600+
-MSI K7T266PRO2
-256 DDR
-GeFORCE 3 Ti 200 64 Mb DDR
-Windows XP with latest drivers and the graphics patch and DirectX 8.1
The bug is that the games loads the save and then just exit the program, with just a stupid message
"unhandled exeption *" .....

So if any of you knows where the Patch is, I might thank them from my unmeasurable greatness....

What exactly does this "unhandled exeption *" error message say?

re: **General In Game Problem Thread

I'd like to know what sound card you have, because sometime it contributes to your game crashing. Click on start, press run, type in dxdiag and wait for it to load. Now click on the sound tab at the top. Please tell me the sound card device name and version you're running.

Okay, I found an excellent FAQ that should help you guys with ANY problems that you may find while playing GTA3 PC. Just follow that link.

re: **General In Game Problem Thread

Forgive me for posting this here but once I installed my geforce 4 my sound went out I am not sure why, I don't have the volume icon on my toolbar and I went to dxdiag to check it out and it says DirectSound test results: Failure at step 3 (DirectSoundCreate): HRESULT = 0x8878000a (The request failed because DirectSound resources, such as the priority level, were already in use by another caller.) So I have no sound, anyone no what to do?



-------------------

And then I woke up.

re: **General In Game Problem Thread

I bought GTAIII last week and despite several calls/emails to Take2 I cannot get it to work!

It installs fine but when I try to run it I get the R* logo in the centre of the screen which then disappears. There is slight screen flicker and hey presto I'm back where I started.

I have tried everything:
- Updated drivers
- Running the game with the Install disk (it never asks for the other disk)
- Changing my Apertunre settings
- Manual uninstall
- Changing anti-aliasing settings
- Closing all other running progs via end task
- Removing movies folder

I have:
Dell Dimension 4100
PIII 1GHz
128Mb RAM
GEForce2 MX 32Mb

I now have to call Take2 again on Monday when they have an engineer available!!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ross.
