Grand Theft Auto: III - Complete Fixes and HD Re-master
By BlackShadow
As the most people know, vanilla version of GTA III doesn't really gel with modern PC's. This guide is here to fix this.

Side Note: These fixes aren't done by me. I've just repacked my favorite fan-fixes into one place and do the testing.

Also vanilla version of the game is required. If you've modded your game, expect crashes. Reinstall the game then install this.


How to Install?

Step 1:

Download the pack. (If you're having extraction problems, make sure to upgrade your WinRAR or 7Zip to the latest version)

[21MB] Google Drive: https ://bit. ly/3bmVZyR [REMOVE SPACES!]

2. Extract all the files to root folder of GTA3. (Simple as that! No IMGTool or any of that stuff)

Steam/SteamApps/common/Grand Theft Auto III

4: Enjoy.

Here's the full changelog to see what's changed with this fix.

It doesn't freeze on fadeouts anymore, although it still has issues with car physics, gravity and sounds. Therefore it's still recommended to play with Frame Limiter set to ON Rhino spawned via a cheatcode doesn't stay on map forever anymore Blista now can be lifted by a car crusher crane - instead, now it cannot lift Coach Shooting from M16 in 1st person mode now increments bullets fired stat properly (so you can't score Accuracy to be more than 100%) Wet road reflections render properly again (just like with Road Reflections Fix) Reintroduced light glows under weapon/health/armour pickups, bribes, hidden packages and money pickups - they showed only on PS2 due to a bug in all PC versions Trace (Destination) blip is now scaling to the resolution properly Garages-related and rampages-related texts now scale to the resolution properly All texts now have proper shadows (depending on chosen resolution, without the fix they'd appear thinner etc.) Free resprays will not carry on a New Game now Fixed ambulance and firetruck dispatch timers - they reset on New Game now The game will not create more than 32 blips at once now - while this never happened in an unmodded game, it could have happened due to exploits and potentially corrupted the save FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING flag has been removed from IMG reading functions - speeding up streaming Alt+F4 now works properly Some car panels now are detached after car's explosion (like they were meant to be but the code forcibly fixed them immediately after damaging) Metric-to-imperial conversion constants have been replaced with more accurate ones Pathfinding for cars chasing the player has been improved (most notably, it may result in 'Bait' being much more playable) All censorships from German and French versions of the game have been removed Bombs in cars stored in garages now save properly Fixed an issue which would cause games to freeze if III/VC/SA were running at the same time Car generator counters now work properly for generators with fixed amount of spawns Keyboard input latency decreased by one frame Car reflections are now displayed correctly on Steam version

Does this work on Steam Deck also? I see no reason why it wouldn't but just thought I would ask.

Can't get this to work. It either says missing mss32.dll or it loads up the game but stops at the menu saying i need to insert disc 2 or hit the esc button and esc just closes the game.

Just wanted to add - Windows 11 Explorer doesn't play nice with opening the archive from google drive - use 7Zip instead.

works almost great for me, with the only problem that - instead of removing the censorships in all languages - it instead APPLIES the censorship in all languages. Now I don't have rampages, blood, no money drops etc. on all languages. Done on a clean steam install. Any idea on how to fix this ?

The mod seems to work fine but everytime I load up a save, I get the "Unhandled Exception c0000005" and it crashes my game. Can anyone help me?
