+ | ===Timing-related issues=== | ||
+ | {{ii}} An unlocked or incorrect frame rate cap can result in timing issues. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Related issues==== | ||
+ | * The menu text selections are invisible exceeding 2000 FPS (fixed with [https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_III#SilentPatch SilentPatch]). | ||
+ | ** It crashes the game randomly too when loading a save game. | ||
+ | * Some weapons fire faster; M16 with manual aiming transforms into a machine gun, firing all the bullets in less than a second. | ||
+ | * Some audio cuts off sooner. The more frames per second, the sooner it cuts. Capping the game to 50 FPS using Framerate Vigilante seems to allow the highest frame rate without this issue.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/GTA3/comments/10e0swe/gta_3_at_60fps/</ref> | ||
+ | * The firetruck can't shoot water, the effects are broken, thus rendering firefighter side mission impassable. | ||
+ | * When walking down the stairs or downhill player sometimes gets flung and loses health extremely. | ||
+ | * Moving the camera with Mouse could become impossible on foot. | ||
+ | * Vehicles traction and friction are non-existent. | ||
+ | * Vehicles lose momentum much faster, as soon as player let go of the throttle key. | ||
+ | ** Some cars are not able to reverse. | ||
+ | * After dying the game is likely to freeze on a white screen. | ||
+ | * Turning sirens on or off is much harder due to shortened timing of pressing the assigned key to do so. Depends on the FPS. | ||
+ | * Flamethrower's fire particle effects are broken. | ||
+ | * Pager messages go faster. | ||
+ | * Replays go faster. | ||
+ | * Making stunt jumps breaks the game after completing one, the camera is not going back to normal, the in-game clock also freezes in slow motion. | ||
+ | * Pushing cars on foot becomes very easy. | ||
+ | * Sometimes vehicles can stand in down-place, freezing and becoming stuck. | ||

Essential improvements
Patches
Patch 1.1 fixes several bugs and removes SafeDisc DRM. Most digital distribution versions already include this patch.
- Many fixes of this patch have been included in SilentPatch, and the v1.1 executable can cause incompatibility with other fixes and mods so the v1.0 executable is recommended.
Skip intro videos
- Although this mod was made for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, it works on Grand Theft Auto III as well.
Installing No Intro mod[5] |
---|
|
SilentPatch
- Fixes numerous bugs and oversights introduced in the PC version, and restores content removed from the French and German versions (e.g. blood, cutting off limbs, obtaining money from corpses, Rampage missions[6]).
- Copying the
AUDIO
folder from the "PLAY" disc into<path-to-game>
allows the game to be playable without the CD when using SilentPatch.
Installing SilentPatch[5] |
---|
|
ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix
- A v1.0 executable is recommended.
- For multi-monitor support, SilentPatch is required.[7]
- Fixes issues such as broken in-game widescreen presentation and HUD/subtitle scaling in higher resolutions.
- Adds MSAA support for the non-Steam version. Also works as an ASI loader and a D3D8to9 wrapper.

Widescreen resolution
- Only 16:9 aspect-ratio is supported as other resolutions are stretched, however, the in-game Widescreen setting causes issues such as stretched HUD, cuts off parts of the image (Vert-), and misaligned mouse aiming. Use ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix for proper widescreen support.

Issues fixed
- An unlocked or incorrect frame rate cap can result in timing issues.
Related issues
- The menu text selections are invisible exceeding 2000 FPS (fixed with SilentPatch).
- It crashes the game randomly too when loading a save game.
- Some weapons fire faster; M16 with manual aiming transforms into a machine gun, firing all the bullets in less than a second.
- Some audio cuts off sooner. The more frames per second, the sooner it cuts. Capping the game to 50 FPS using Framerate Vigilante seems to allow the highest frame rate without this issue.[18]
- The firetruck can't shoot water, the effects are broken, thus rendering firefighter side mission impassable.
- When walking down the stairs or downhill player sometimes gets flung and loses health extremely.
- Moving the camera with Mouse could become impossible on foot.
- Vehicles traction and friction are non-existent.
- Vehicles lose momentum much faster, as soon as player let go of the throttle key.
- Some cars are not able to reverse.
- After dying the game is likely to freeze on a white screen.
- Turning sirens on or off is much harder due to shortened timing of pressing the assigned key to do so. Depends on the FPS.
- Flamethrower's fire particle effects are broken.
- Pager messages go faster.
- Replays go faster.
- Making stunt jumps breaks the game after completing one, the camera is not going back to normal, the in-game clock also freezes in slow motion.
- Pushing cars on foot becomes very easy.
- Sometimes vehicles can stand in down-place, freezing and becoming stuck.

Total conversions
- GTA III Dark Edition - A total conversion featuring a darker atmosphere to match the tone of the game's setting. No longer in development.[36]

- Xbox Version HD - Ports many of the high-quality Xbox assets and effects to the PC version with remastered high-definition textures. Many pre-included mods are outdated and the total conversion has some undressed errors, however an unofficial off-shoot, Xbox Conversion: The Unofficial Revision, attempts to address some of the leftover issues of Rim's original mod, restructures it similarly to PS2 Feels III Edition to minimize replacing core installation files.
- Grand Theft Auto 3D - A total conversion project that aims to recreate the brighter, cartoony look and feel of the game's alpha and beta stages contrast to the darker and realistic tone from the final version by using a collection of hand-made assets, in-game leftovers, and HD sources. Currently under development with only free-forming gameplay of Portland being accessible. This is not meant for vanilla Grand Theft Auto III gameplay.
- GTA IV: Renderware Edition - A total conversion project that aims to recreate Grand Theft Auto IV into Grand Theft Auto III's engine. Currently under development.
- GTA Forelli Redemption - A total conversion project featuring even new side missions, ambulance mission has been tweaked. The events are taking place in parallel with events of the original GTA 3 story. Giovanni Forelli, 26 years old man, is a son of Sonny Forelli, also a nephew of current Forelli boss Giorgio, which was lucky enough to survive during the destruction of Little Italy. Forelli Family is weak these days, though it still manages to stay in the game. However, a short chain of events gives Forelli a chance to restore their power.
