MAD_BOY Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 tell your friend to give you your game back and then reinstall and apply the GTA3 1.1 patch on gta3
Guest Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 do you think that will fix the problem..because if its not gonna fix it i dont want to have him get fucked over not being able to play
MAD_BOY Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 well, your gta3.dir seems to be modified as it says, so you MUST reinstall
orappa Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 This could be one of two things: 1. You installed some mods for single player. Solution: Reinstall GTA3. 2. You don't have GTA3 installed in the default location and you didn't specify the new location when you installed MTA, thus it's looking for the files in the wrong place. Solution: Reinstall MTA and make sure it's set to the correct directory in the installer.
Guest Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 I did install 2 skins with the IMG tool...but thats it..would that matter??
orappa Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 I did install 2 skins with the IMG tool...but thats it..would that matter?? Bingo. There's your problem. MTA does not currently support the use of mods or other enhancements. If you still want to use your skins, you will have to install GTA a second time (in a different directory) and use that for MTA.
Guest Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 ok...i reinstalled and it started to work...but just before i get in the game BEEP and it stops...i can see the server rules and whatever people were saying...but it makes the unhandled exception beep noise...anyone know the problem....im still not v1.1 though...so im guessin that might be it..but id rather ask the experts LOL
orappa Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 I didn't know that GTA3:MTA supported v1.0. I always thought that it was compulsory to upgrade to 1.1, so maybe that's your problem.
Mike Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Yep, you gotta get v1.1 http://www.take2games.com/index.php?p=support_patches
Guest Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 ok i got 1.1 installed...but i needed a no cd crack..so i dled 2 different ones...anyway...before i even had a chance to install them..i had to rename them to gta3.exe of course..anyway now..i cant move either files...or delete them...it says something else is using them...so i went into safe mode and pressed control alt delete...there are no processes running that shouldnt be..and i cant delete either of the no cd cracks...so i decided fuck it and i delete MTA and GTA...EVERYTHING...i went into search...searched gta3...it only finds both these .exe files..but i cant delete them...and nothing is using them...so can someone help me out..lol this is my last question...all i wanna do is delete them
orappa Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Go to Add / Remove Programs and uninstall GTA and MTA there. Then go to C:\Program Files and make sure that the Multi Theft Auto and Rockstar Games\GTAIII folders are gone.
Guest Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 everything that has to do with GTA is gone but they still wont delete it says somethin using them when clearly something isnt
