resolution / unhandled exception error GTA 3 FIX
By xyl0nN^
hey in this guide i want to show you how to fix a error that exist at many gta 3 users!
the error comes after you installed gta 3 and started it.
then comes a notification with "unhandled exception: c000005 at adress: 00630000 " and/or the game starts but the resolution is not normal.you tried much things but nothing helped you out? i had the same but i found the fix and want to spread it with you :)

btw,the fix is just for the resolution / unhandled exception error,not for all errors that exist in gta 3!!(but maybe it can fix some other errors but there is no guarantee)

here is the link for steam donations if you wanna spend me a coffee because the fix helped you :D

how to fix the resolution / unhandled exception error in gta 3
hey in this guide i want to show you how to fix a error that exist at many gta 3 users!

how to fix:

1.go to google.com
2.search "ddraw.dll gta 3" (in google)
3.go to the first or second link at apg-clan . org
2.under files is a download button called "silentpatch_ddraw.zip" (press on it)
3.search yours gta 3 folder that you installed on your computer
4.open the .rar file
5.drag and drop the ddraw.dll over the existing ddraw.dll (if a ddraw.dll exist,im not really sure if a ddraw.dll exist before you make the new in)
6.start the game
7.enjoy it


maybe you can say a little thanks to me on my profile or spend me your csgo/pugb/tf2 trash items if i helped you out :D
here is link for donations.

### little update for this guide ###
if you have problems with the ddraw.dll is here a other version to fix the errors.

1.google "silentpatch gta 3 "
2.go to the gtagarage . com link
3.press "download mod"
4.choose "SilentPatchIII 1.1 Build 5" + press download
5.extract SilentPatchIII.asi in the gta 3 steam folder
6.extract the particle.txd file in the models folder that is in the gta 3 folder
7.start and enjoy

the gta 3 path ends something like this steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto 3

np bro :)
i am happy that it works for other peoples because i was so sad when i bought the game und i didn't cant play.
i searched like 1-2 hours in the internet because i want so absolutely play this game because i played this game often when i was a little child and this game makes me much nostalgia.
and yeah with this guide people can play this game + must don't waste their time like me haha.
idk how much people helped the guide but even when its only 5 persons i am glad that hear.
