==Issues fixed==
 
===Low FPS on Windows 8 and later===
 
{{ii}} If you are using ThirteenAG's WS fix then first rename the <code>ddraw.dll</code> to <code>dsound.dll</code> to make them work together
 
{{Fixbox|description=(DirectX 10.1+) Use dgVoodoo wrapper|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=
 
# Download newest [http://dege.freeweb.hu/ dgVoodoo 2].
 
# Extract it and place it in a convenient place.
 
# Start '''dgVoodooSetup.exe''' and configure it.
 
# Go to '''DirectX''' tab and make sure that '''Disable a passthru to real DirectX''' is not checked.
 
# Select '''Virtual 3D Accelerated Card''' under Videocard and set its RAM to '''65536 kB'''.
 
# Click '''Apply''' and '''OK'''.
 
# Now go to <code>'''MS'''</code> folder in dgVoodoo's folder and copy files '''D3DImm.dll''' and '''DDraw.dll'''.
 
# Go to the <code>{{P|game}}\WINO</code> and paste the files in there.
 
}}
 
 
 
===Settings.exe configuration will not save===
 
{{Fixbox|description=Set Settings.exe to run in Windows XP SP3 [[Windows Compatibility Mode|compatibility mode]]|ref={{cn|date=March 2017}}}}
 
 
 
===MGL Fatal Error on startup===
 
{{ii}} Error message: "Error 296.473: Cannot find the default display mode"
 
 
 
{{Fixbox|description=Set the game to run in Windows XP SP3 [[Windows Compatibility Mode|compatibility mode]]|ref={{cn|date=March 2017}}}}
 
 
 
===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
 
 
 
{{Fixbox|description=Disable secondary monitors|ref=<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150619180921/http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1244839 GTA 1 exits when I want to play - Steam Users' Forums] (retrieved)</ref>}}
 
 
 
===Crash after playing once===
 
{{Fixbox|description=Use Grand Theft Auto I Launcher|ref=<ref>[http://gzwn.net/gta1launcher/ Grand Theft Auto I Launcher] (retrieved)</ref>|fix=
 
# Download [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1122-grand-theft-auto-i-launcher/ Grand Theft Auto I Launcher].
 
# Extract '''GTA I Launcher.exe''' from '''GTA I Launcher.zip''' and copy it to <code>{{P|game}}</code>.
 
# Run '''GTA I Launcher.exe''' to start the game.
 
}}
 
 
 
===Audio tracks in wrong order===
 
{{ii}} The audio tracks of the Steam version are named wrong which leads to hearing police radio chatter when not in a car.
 
{{Fixbox|description=Use GTAFixer|ref=<ref>[http://gtamp.com/gta1/ GTAFixer] (retrieved)</ref>|fix=
 
# Download [https://gtamp.com/GTA1/GTAFixer.rar GTAFixer].
 
# Extract '''GTAFixer.rar''' and copy to <code>{{P|game}}</code>.
 
# Run '''GTAFixer.exe'''.
 
}}
 
 
 
===Radio goes silent after a while (Steam/Rockstar Classics version)===
 
{{Fixbox|description=Use updated mss32.dll<ref>[https://gtaforums.com/topic/873594-is-there-any-way-to-fix-the-radiomusic-bug-in-gta-1/?tab=comments#comment-1069541939/ Is there any way to fix the radio/music bug in GTA 1? - GTAForums]</ref>|fix=
