"GTA3 Error"

Sorry to start a pointless topic, but has anyone had an error on GTA3 where the text and menu graphics are all mucked up? if so, what should I do? I have already intstalled the patch from the site, but I'm not sure if I did it right though.

Please Help! I really want to play it, but this is making it almost immpossible to play it.

now i had that problem on mine when i re-installed windows on my pc, so it was looking for all the old stuff. if u have re-installed windows then re-install the game, oh no wait hang on it was because i was missing a file of some sort, let me have a think and i will get bak to, if i can remember...

I haven't experienced this problem yet with my game, but if I do come across it (so to speak) I'll let you know what happens.
(I like the dog food factory missions, mmmm a new flavour for the dogs this month)

Get outta here!!

Actually come to think of it that's not too bad an idea. The PC performance is quite awful, even on my 1.4 Ghz Athlon.

i dissagree, i think that is is better on the pc then it is on the ps2.

Obviously it has better features such as optional higher resolutions, but it's a system hog. So ones with worse sytems would be better off getting the PS2 version. See?

Got GTA 3 for my PS2 and will be getting it's sequel for my console as well. I'd probably have gotten it for my PC if it wasn't for the fact not much has been changed from the console version except the graphics and MP3 option. Probably won't work well on my computer anyway.

Almost definitely not, it has trouble on my 1.4 Ghz as it is.
