For some reason on some devices,

not all audio files are in the audio folder (or in some cases there is no audio folder at all) so you may need to download the audio folder from online and manually place it into the games install folder...

Removing the audio folder is supposed to help performance on slower phones (or just generally save storage space) but I don't think the S2 would struggle with GTA3 (for performance), I have 1.3 running at max settings and when I turn the frame limiter off it looks like its going well over 80fps...

So, tbh, it looks like you best option may be to download a (complete) audio folder for GTA3 to fix your problem

A couple of game saves to share. They're for those of you who:

1. Just wants to play through the main missions.

2. Want all those powerups at your hideout.

3. Don't want to do those side-missions to earn the powerups!

4. Don't want to cheat.

Save 8

Completed "Luigi's Girls" (the first mandatory mission of the game)

Pistol, uzi, and grenades at hideout (enter and exit your garage to spawn them)

2 police bribes at hideout

Health and adrenaline at hideout

Infinite run

Collected most cars for Industrial Import Export Garage. Outstanding are Blista and Dodo.

Save 7

Completed "Last Requests" - Staunton Island unlocked

Shotgun, body armor, and molotovs at hideout

Total of 4 police bribes at hideout

100 passengers dropped off (Taxi mission)

Collected Blista for Industrial Import Export Garage. Only Dodo is outstanding.

Collected Police Car, Ambulance, Enforcer, and Fire Truck for Emergency Vehicle Crane. Only FBI Car and Rhino are outstanding.

Diablo Stallion and Mafia Sentinal are saved in the Staunton hideout garage to make the mission "Gangcar Round-Up" by King Courtney super easy. (Tip: Save the mission "Kingdom Come" until later on because after completion of that mission, the Yardies become hostile.)

Save 6

Completed "A Drop in the Ocean" - Shoreside Vale unlocked

AK-47, sniper rifle, M-16, and rocket launcher at hideout

Total of 6 police bribes at hideout

Industrial Import Export Garage completed.

Only Rhino is outstanding for Emergency Vehicle Crane.

Suburban Import Export Garage completed

A couple of notes:

I didn't complete the Taxi Mission while on Portland because I find it easier to do it on Staunton.

I also didn't bother doing the Fire Truck missions because I'm not particularly fond of the flamethrower.

Great Game !

Just played it for few weeks and i would say with the graphic mod the graphic in the game is very nice ! but the device is running very hard and your battery is cooking inside :D my device was getting very warm so i don't wanna play it anymore :) but game feeling is very good !
[Galaxy S II General] cined:
I got my GS2 today and installed GTA III. Using stock ROM 2.3.5.

I turned all the settings up to as high as they could go and it runs nice but it's not super smooth... For example if I drive down a backstreet it will be really smooth but in the middle of the city you can feel it being not as smooth.

Is this because I have the settings to high? What is the right balance to have the settings?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Set everything to middle and it should be fine.
[Galaxy S II General] cined:
Is that how you personally set yours? :)

It is very playable with all of the settings maxed I find, it just isn't silky smooth ya know?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] promethiumx:
maybe flash a faster Rom to get a "silky smooth" running GTA III ;)

for me it just worked like a charm with Stock 2.3.6 and still does with ICS resurrection remix ROM
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Runs smoothly maxed out on mine.

I suggest you listen to the advice above and get updated to 2.3.6. :)
[Galaxy S II General] cined:
It does run smooth it's just not silky smooth... Kinda hard to explain I guess.. There is just a bit of jerkyness now and then.

Would 2.3.6 really make a difference? I'd have to flash a custom stock rom though I assume.

Cheers

Great now it keeps crashing.... Crappy app!
[Galaxy S II General] svettipung:
Worked great for me too 2.3.6.
[Galaxy S II General] cined:
I know other people are getting crashing problems to, maybe it could be linked to 2.3.5 but for now I'm not to bothered. I can wait for official ICS 4.0. :)

[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
I do not appreciate your hostility, unpoliteness and offences. I do not appreciate your exagerated Tegra bashing.

I am just trying to replicate this high profile problem and since dice-player claimed they solved the problem, I was checking it out.

I asked:

"Would you please be so kind and tell me the url of a small test file that you are sure is "high profile h264".

Then I asked:

"Would you agree that the .mov file you can download on the first page of www.glbenchmark.com is a high profile 1080p that you say Tegra 2 can´t play?"

I thought a 1080p file used for benchmarks by the most advanced benchmark on the market is high profile. But I was not sure about it, so I ASKED you.

Those were polite, appropriate questions.

And your response was arrogant, hostile, offensive (you called me stupid and ignorant). You call your clients doucebags. Just because you are able to use a video converter to convert video formats you think you are superior to other humans?

You may be knowledgable about video formats, but as a human you are of the lowest kind.

[Galaxy S II General] juancaretta:
According to DroidGamers, Rockstar confirmed no support for the S2:

http://www.droidgamers.com/index.ph...g-galaxy-sii-support-for-grand-theft-auto-iii

Probably a Tegra only game for now. Hopefully Chainfire3D will make it work.
[Galaxy S II General] ThatBadAssMofo:
Thats pretty much what the Rockstargames link I posted on the first page stated, I'm sure they'll bring it to the S2 eventually, I mean, I have no official numbers or anything but I'm sure its safe to assume its one of the more popular devices out there.

I'm also assuming that the reason why they decided to go the Tegra route is because more devices (as a whole) have that chipset? And also, any speculation as to why Samsung would ditch their own chip and decide to go with a Tegra? I mean if its as powerful as these guys are saying...

And also, everyone contributing to that whole "Tegra" argument, can't someone just give the man a high profile file?

Wow, I just asked a lot of questions. :o
[Galaxy S II General] juancaretta:
Could also be a temporary exclusive to Tegra due to an agreement between Rockstar and NVIDIA, like Shadowgun, Sprinkle and others were. That would explain why the initial supported devices are all Tegra2 based.

Not sure as to why Samsung made the Galaxy R with Tegra instead of the Exynos chipset. As a whole the Exynos is slightly better in every aspect, at least technically. Having devices with both chipsets (Viewpad 10s, an Advent Vega Clone, and the S2) I prefer the Exynos chipset, better video codec support and the GPU supports MSAA up to 16x (although I use 4x in most games, the quality difference is minimal between 4x and 16x, and the performance hit is much higher).
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
Can anybody please tell me whats with fighting for Tegra2 or Mali400?
[Galaxy S II General] ThatBadAssMofo:
From what I've gathered,

Apparently the Tegra devices can't play high profile videos. One guy vs like 100, the one guy just wants a sample video but can't find one and no one is giving him one.
[Galaxy S II General] Mungulz:

[Galaxy S II General] bazzag:

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
The only advantage with tegra is nvidia working behind the scenes with developers to make the games more compatible with their chipsets, thats what nvidia do for years and its not new to them!!

Exynos is powerful but wont have the compatablity like tegra optimised games.

These things are already proven time by time. So please stop debating tegra is faster than mali, etc etc.

I heard the game works fine on s2 without cf3d. How is the controls? a big feedback much appreciated

Didn't even realize it was out. $0.10 sale tomorrow? :D

[Galaxy S II General] ThatBadAssMofo:
So this is my first time paying for a game;

1. I noticed an option for a refund, how does that work?

2. I needed to download ~400 MB worth of files upon first run, and I gotta say I'm impressed with Bell, I'm getting ~820 KB/sec on average.

I'll post my impressions after I get some time with the game.

GTA3 is the best game of all times! I bought it as well. Downloading the files to give impressions.
[Galaxy S II General] Toss3:
I'm pretty sure that when you're not using plugins, chainfire3d does absolutely nothing. MSAA 16x doesn't appear to work at least. When selecting any of the available plugins it crashes. Have to run it without AA at the moment.
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Actually pretty happy its working (at all) on the S II, was afraid I would need Chainfire 3D.

Just downloaded it from the Market this morning, everything went normal. I had no sound first time playing, but after restarting the game it worked. After that I had some problems with my comtrols not showing up properly on the screen, pressing "revert to default" in controls settings fized it.

:D
[Galaxy S II General] MoonRaven:
Well, if the download fails halfway it insists on redownloading it completely. The old file, however, is not removed (judging by size available)

GTA 3 is a paid app in Android Market and the posting of warez is against XDA rules.

[Galaxy S II General] petsasj:
Not trying to get in the way or anything, but i think they were sharing the game data. The ones that are downloaded from the apk and not the actual apk.

Also.

Where does the save game ctualy save too.

Sy for example, i want to change ROM, will i lose all my progress?

It seems that putting the GTA Dat folder in the correct place has no effect, you need to download it via the game i think.

So if i changed ROM id have to download again!, Just dont want to lose progress!
[Galaxy S II General] capt_carl:
Its not WAREZ, I've paid my £3 on the market place. I'm just trying to avoid bumming my data allowance.

The game data is proprietary to Rockstar Games just the same as the Market APK is and XDA isn't in the business of making sure you paid your $3 before you download or not.
