Patching your invalid gta3.exe or gta-vc.exe


Recommended Posts

MTA does not function at all with German or Australian versions of gta3.exe and gta-vc.exe. This patcher will modify your existing .exe to work with MTA.

I am sure this is legitimate, there is not enough data in the .exe to extract the full gta-vc.exe. If a moderator/dev finds that this patcher somehow provides the entire executable file, remove the link and inform me.

================================

INFORMATION

================================

This patch does NOT turn your gta3.exe or gta-vc.exe into a version that requires no CD, but converts your gta3.exe or gta-vc.exe from German or Australian INTO the American/European version. Please make backups of the respective file in case something goes wrong. I am not responsible for damaged or lost files.

For this to work you must have one of the following:

* GTA3.exe German Version

* GTA3.exe Australian Version

* GTA-VC.exe German Version

* GTA-VC.exe Australian Version

If you get an "Invalid Executable" error for GTA3 please download the 1.1 patch before posting, from here: http://updates.rockstargames.com/patches/grandtheftauto3/GTA3patch1.1.zip. If you are still getting problems for GTA3 and are from Australia or Germany please post in this topic to help.

Thank you to "Pain" for providing the German gta-vc.exe and "Gremlin Gremlin" for the Australian gta-vc.exe, and vicer for his help.

I hope this helps.

Yeah good idea Talidan, we've had heaps and heaps of newbies come into the servers in Australia, most of them don't have a clue what is going on when they see that error or their game crashes just after it plays the VC movie. It would be a lot easier if they knew from scratch what is going on instead of having to ask everyone first, so maybe a link to the working exe or something would be handy in a place everyone can see before they bother starting the game instead of having to search up on why it won't work.

okay ive uploaded it at a temp new host. could you also remove the long quote in your post, it contains the old download link and could be misleading, and is a little spammy

Thanx, i hope i can play with our patch =)

Thank you so much. I was so dissapointed when it came up with the error when I first tried. I have a small suggestion, link to this post on the known issues post, then the next Australian with this problem won't have to spend 20 minutes searching Google :P
