  • Problem : GTA3 / Mission Loading overly long loading delays.

    Operating System: Win2kPro
    Burning Software: Alcohol 120%
    Anti-virus Software: n/a
    DAEMON Tools Version: Daemon-Tools - Version 3.46

    GTA3 boots fine. I can even start a brand new mission if I want to start over.

    The problem I am having is after I select the mission to play in Staunten Island.

    It stalls. Generally it takes 12 minutes or so before the map loads.

    I purchased the game from Walmart.

    A friend asked what version of GTA3 I was running. I have no clue.
    I do not see a version number on any of the screens. I looked at the exe file with windows explorer but it does not say a version number in there.

    I have Safedisc emulation loaded in dt. :?:

    This is a Update to the previous problem post.

    After retrying thr original cdrom. I was still getting the 12 minute reload
    hang.

    I pulled the cdrom out and looked at the media surface.

    There was some kind of defect in the coating.

    Definetly a manufacturing flaw.

    I took the disc set back to Walmart and exchanged it for a new set.

    I unmounted the image, then uninstalled the game.

    I made new images. I then reinstalled new. Then mounted the new
    images in D/T.

    I had to go to some older game saves a friend e-mailed to me to
    get me close to where I left off but at least the problem seems to
    be gone.

        Hey, sorry to hear about those loading delays. I'm glad it was the fault of the stupid disc you had. :-)
