tugonix Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 HI, today I tried to run GTA3 on my MacBook, without success. All I got was a msg, telling my that gta cannot find the 640x480 video mode. I am using the gametab cider version. I allready found in another thread that more people had had this problem, but I was not able to find a solution. tugonix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itshelloween Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Try copying GTA3.set from a windows install, with the resolution set to at least 800x600, into the data folder in gta3. GTA3.set is located in your documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugonix Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 It's not in the folder, maybe because I never ran the game. I installed GTA3 under VMWare, thats why I am not able to run the game. So, can please someone send me the GTA3.set file? Tugonx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itshelloween Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 If you are using a recent version of vmware you should be able to run gta3 in it, at least to change the resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugonix Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Ok, I forgot to enable 3D Support in VMware settings. I copyed the file to the data folder, but there is still a problem. When I run the program nothing happens, the programs exits after a very short amount of time without any kind of error msg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itshelloween Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 What version OS X are you running? Try this config file in "Contents/Resources/Preferences", and remember to remove "~/Library/Preferences/GTA3 preferences" folder. http://www.mediafire.com/?cyzltjsjzyj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugonix Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 I am running 10.4.10. Did what you suggested, still the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itshelloween Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I can't think of anything else. Try this cider I downloaded off demonoid. http://rapidshare.com/files/67723105/GTA_3.zip It apparently works for others, I haven't tried it yet. Hope it works.

tugonix Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Used your files, it is like a time machine... the 640x480 appears again... are you running 4.10 or 4.9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itshelloween Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I'm running 10.5. Did you copy GTA3.set into the new GTA3.app? EDIT: On this version you have to create a folder in "~/Library/Preferences/GTA 3 Preferences/p_drive/" called "GTA3 User Files" and put GTA3.set in that folder.
