Device Used In Tutorial is GPD Win 3 Which Has This Issue out of the box
I Include Three Fixes To This Issue One Is with Different settings files in document, one fix makes use of a widescreen fix, and one requires physically plugging in an external display that supports the resolution these games are asking for.
The issue at hand is the default first run settings for these games are asking for a resolution that your current display, whether built-in or external, cannot switch into or is unavailable. This presents two issues; you can’t change display setting because the game won’t run for you to change it, if you never got the game running on your system then it never creates user preferences located in “USERNAME\Documents\” to be manually changed
Upon launching the game; the game will look for user preferences in the documents folder. If it is not there then it will run with default settings that were programmed into the game.
The good news is, once you get the games to actually run; aslong as you don’t delete files in “\USERNAME\Documents\GTA Vice City User Files” use should never have a problem with the games not running again granted you aren’t doing any kind of modding or something
The widescreen fix will work for GTA III, and GTA Vice City but it’s 50/50 on some displays or setups; if it will work with GTA San Andreas.
Files Required Are
https://www.mediafire.com/file/37em4umwxgd9xio/GTA_3D_Fix_-_JTR.zip/file 720x1280
They include widescreen fixes for each game and user preferences for each game. They are now looking for resolutions of 720x1280 please back up your Game saves so they are not overwritten by my files you can transfer the whole folder if you’d like but the file you’re looking is “gta3.set” or .set as a file extension
If you would like a different resolution please comment below and I will include another link I wasn’t sure what to use as the more common resolutions GTA’s already asking for and if you here then your display doesn’t support it
