Well i installed gingerbread 2.3.6, cf rooted kernel, and miui. Now GTA3 works without lag, but when downloading files it stopes on like 80%, and i can play it. But i didn't download sound files..

How can i continue download?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] scuba156:
Try removing the folder 'sdcard/android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/'

It well however have to start the download from the start.

hey i have onecosmic's rom ics r2 and only if i set my cpu to 1400MHz, the game seems to be smooth
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] johnng2036:
i've tried rom: samsung offical rom 2.3.3

the first thing, at this moment, this game still always crash and force close frequently on i9000.

also, you may notice that the data package will cause around 900MB !!!!!

so crazy, right???

-the first version, i've downloaded. after the animation will cause crash.

-the second version, i've downloaded. during game always crash and force close frequency..

finally, i've uninstalled it. :(

If anyone still has froyo on their sgs could they let us know if the performance is smooth (compared with gb/ics)? Supposedly the froyo 3d drivers are more optimised than newer versions. I am on ics build 12 and get too much lag for this to be playable.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Phandroid:
Lags like hell on my Onecosmic's ICS 4.0.3 RC2.11, in fact just like all other high end 3D games. It wouldn't bother me if I didn't see videos on Youtube on the SGS delivering silky smooth gameplay in GTA 3, Modern Combat 3 etc etc etc... Mine just lags and is unusable.

I've read a lot of stuff regading 3D drivers not working correctly on ICS. Does anybody know a workaround of some sort? Otherwise I guess I'm stuck with this..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Dr.69:
So after testing, deleting and editing GTA runs pretty smoothly.

Details:

-I have an israeli rom (PilotX) (But I think it's kinda irrelevant)

-Semaphore 2.4 Kernel with these settings:

* OC to 1200

* Ondemand Governor

* Simple I/O

* 64mb LMK

* SD-Card read ahead set to 3072kb

- Did everything written here

- Used the modified gta3.set

- Chainfire 3D set to Reduce Texture Quality

- And before I start the game I reboot the phone.

As I said, after doing this my GTA is running pretty smooth.

Hope it helps someone :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Sir Davey:
Hello all, I just want to post how I got mine working pretty smoothly:

GT I-9000 running Gingerbread 2.3.4

GTAIII v 1.1

Using semaphore kernel

rooted

Installed Chainfire 3D free edition, enabled "Reduce Texture Quality"

Renamed "audio" folder

The game runs really well, almost no lag except for some weird hiccups here and there.

However, I was able to play the game without a hitch for about an hour in total. Now I am stuck at the mission "Cipriani's Chauffeur". Basically, I get to the dry cleaners, Cipriani enters it, gets out and BAM! The game freezes for a few seconds and exits abruptly. I've tried a lot of different ways to park in front of it but it still crashes.

Also it seems that the game sometimes crashes randomly, when I get near certain vehicles... It's very strange!

Has anyone had this problem and solved it? I tried:

- re-enabling sound (effectively un-renaming the audio folder)

- failing the mission and trying again

- doing another mission instead, it works but I've got to complete this mission to continue the story mode
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] martis347:
I've had the same issue. I installed version 1.2 then and i managed to get past that mission, but... threre are other missions which do the same (crashes).

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Sir Davey:
Thanks. Do you know if that will fix my issues with the game crashing? I am willing to change rom, I just don't want to brick my phone so I will have to backup first :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Chrome Wings:
it may improve the situation and make it crash less but as far as im aware the problem with it crashing is just as bad on galaxy s 2 which has tons more RAM and better hardware so the crashes are related to the game being buggy or simply not working with some phone models.

i have searched for fixes to the crashes for my girlfriends s2 and there seem to be lots of different fixes none of which worked for me. probably best to wait for rockstar to admit there is a problem and release an update.

version 1.3 is out, just tried it seems a lot faster
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] KilleX:
I recently installed GTA3 (ver. 1.3). Game crashes after intro video (black screen, no force close). I am using GalnetMIUI (stable, with ICS framework).

Is this because of MIUI, or something else?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Chrome Wings:
may be that sd files downloaded are incomplete, try deleting them and redownloading the data. i am using gamerzrom and it works fine so if that doesnt work it could be related to miui
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] keenox:
Version 1.2 works for me on 2.3.4 XXJVR (kernel 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVQ). It's pretty laggy but I solved this by OC-ing to 1.2Ghz with Tegra OC. You should set it to Performance and set the minimum to 1200Mhz too, or it will lag even worse.

One annoying problem I have is that the accelerometer isn't read properly. Namely, it thinks the phone is in portrait mode, while it's in landscape, so the only way to drive is to hold the phone upright, while the display is in landscape mode. Not very pleasant. I think there should be an easy fix for this.

FC in GTA III

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant running on 2.2Froyo(Toxic Rom & DMZ Kernel)

Even games like 9mm & Asphalt 6 run fine on my device, with overclock(in rare cases)

But I have installed GTA III v1.3(also tried all the steps below with 1.0, both inclusive countless times) and took Titanium Backup.

Then I downloaded SD data from some site. I have two versions of the same(So basically my first question is that is SDcard data size specific to a version,and as long as it is higher it shouldn't be a problem rite?)

Now, I have tried with different launchers - GO, Zeam and killing tasks or boosting memory ,etc.

But when I click on GTA III, after I accept EULA and it asks me to download data(I press back button)

and then press home key.

then when I click GTA III from notifications, it opens up and then after two vibrations or so, it closes itself, without any error message(like this process stopped responding).

I have tried numerous times, yet i can't get this game working on my device.Please help !!

Hello.

Guys, I'm on cm10 03.10 nightly + semaphore 2.2.0 @ 1GHz. Installed GTA 3 v. 1.3, deleted audio folder, all settings are default: resolution 60%, view distance 50%, shadows off, framelimiter off.

The game runs ok, but I feel fps drops, slowdowns etc. (Especially while fast/heavy actions/movements).

Is there some way to improve performance?

I heared about changing gta3.set file etc.

Could someone explain?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] disclaimernotice:
You're all going about it the wrong direction. It's not the cpu or gpu that's the problem. It's ram. When I ran it on gingerbread, it crashes after the intro videos. But when I ran it on froyo(which has more free ram), it can go all the way to the menu and loading screen, though it still crashes. I'm guessing our galaxy s simply doesn't have enough ram to run this game.
