Issues fixed
Low FPS on Windows 8 and later
- If you are using ThirteenAG's WS fix then first rename the
ddraw.dll
from ThirteenAG's WS fix towinmm.dll
and removewndmode.ini
to make them work together[3]
(DirectX 10.1+) Use dgVoodoo wrapper[citation needed] |
---|
|
Settings.exe configuration will not save
Set Settings.exe to run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode[citation needed] |
---|
MGL Fatal Error on startup
- Error message: "Error 296.473: Cannot find the default display mode"
Set the game to run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode[citation needed] |

Crash when using ThirteenAG's WS fix on high resolution monitors
ThirteenAG's widescreen fix will default to using desktop resolution, but higher resolutions will crash the game.
Set a lower resolution |

|
Crash with multiple monitors
Two error messages appear if you have more than one active monitor:
- CreateSurface failed (DDERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY)!
- Error 303.502 Display Error: Selected Video mode not supported
Disable secondary monitors[4] |

Crash after playing once
Use Grand Theft Auto I Launcher[5] |

|
Audio tracks in wrong order
- The audio tracks of the Steam version are named wrong which leads to hearing police radio chatter when not in a car.
Use GTAFixer[6] |

Radio goes silent after a while (Steam/Rockstar Classics version)
Use updated mss32.dll[7] |
