GTA3 Arms Shortage crashing and other problems

I'm having a bit of a problem with GTA3. On the Arms Shortage mission given by the cop on the second island every time I drive into the marker in the army base the game crashes straight to my home screen, no force close or anything. If I get out and walk into the marker the game takes control and makes the player do a stupid lap around the base, resulting in death.
The game also takes control of the player every time I complete a casino mission and makes him walk into a wall continuously, the only way to regain control is to quit and resume.
Anyone have similar problems or know what to do?
gta 3 crash

I haven't had a single problem with my GTA III game and I've had it since release but have only started playing it since the 1.3 patch.
The 1.3 Update is great. The only problem i´ve had so far is that when i press the aim button when i have the M16 rifle equipped nothing happens. I can´t aim manually with it. This didn´t occur in Version 1.0. Anyone else having this problem?

Could you please? It's driving me mad, I can't advance anymore lol.
Also which button is to aim? I thought it was auto aim only :/.
It´s the menu button on the gamepad. Under the d pad. Just works with the sniper rifle, the rocket launcher and the M16 which obviously doesn´t in 1.3 with this button. You´ll need to use the onscreen keys to get into manual aim with the M16.
Anyone else having these problems?

This is happening due to the High Cpu & Ram demand on the game as soon as you drive into the position, if you check the Xperia Play Themes & Apps section, my CAR MODV2 is available which was designed for people which there game crashes like yours, word of advice though, anytime you drive a police car it will be slow (speed)

Nah lad thats not it, thanks though. Don't really see how editing the handling.cfg is going to affect ram/cpu usage?
ATM I'm redownloading the sd card files as I believe some of the mission scripting is corrupted, the only reason I haven't tried this before is that my wifi connection is terrible, going to take a while lol.
If anyone could upload or send me their SD card files it would be a great help, when my wifi craps out at over 23% GTA3 won't boot and I have to delete and start over again, never ending cycle lol.
Sry guys, I just tried the 1.3 update, and I was wondering if I can can set the movement controls to the touchpads. I read that on xperiagamer, but I can't find anything in the game options, I can only move with the dpad. Maybe you just can't move with the touchpads?

When you enter the location, aload of police cars start chasing you & you have to escape, due to this your CPU usage is quite high & ram & probably cant cope
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
It has nothing to do with cpu or ram usage, it's just a glitch in the game. There are no more people or cars than in any other mission.
The way I got around the glitch, though, is by first walking into the trigger area (the blue circle of light thing), instead of driving into it. Then, as he jogs around the area ignoring user input, he will get close enough to the tank for the "door" on-screen button to appear, which you can press to break his jogging cycle.
He'll run over to the tank, try to get in, but it's locked, and you can then help the one-armed man kill the Columbian Cartel attackers.
Hope this helps others! Sure was a hassle for me lol.
Edit: I'm playing this on a Droid Bionic, btw, not the xperia
When i had this mission i take ol and use them as barricade and than destroy cartel using granades. Try it maybe it helps...
Of course i did it on r800i

I had the same problem(crashing in this mission) and I searched it through the internet but i couldn't get pass of that.

I hope that I could help some of you my friends in my FIRST comment:good:

[Q] Game Cheating Tool

hi guys, wanna ask, is there any cheating tool for wp7? e.g. there is Sorcerer Game Cheating Tool for symbian that can change any values it is like cheat engine for pc. i have full unlock, so maybe in registry or somewhere else it's possible to do? just interesting ty
You could do it manually by modifying game files, but no, there's no "tool" for it that I'm aware of. I personally have absolutely no interest in developing one, either, especially because that kind of thing gets your box Live account banned (if you use it to gain achievements).
Generally speaking, games (being third-party Marketplace apps) have no access to the registry.
It is possable with SOME games. They use XML files to to do backups. It's in the protected storage for the games. If you phone is fully unlocked browse around your phone then look in each game to see if you can find the save files and open them to see if you can edit them.
I have done this on a few games that I got screwed on. One was a blackscreen issue and I could not get my final achivement and the other was a app bug that they updated, so I did the minor cheat to get me back to where I was. For example, I set the games scrore right before the achivement, so when I Started the game, I didn't have to do much to get the score.
You need to be carefull on what you do, if you get an achivement that you should not of gotten before another one, it could flag you and get banned or even lose all your gamer score.

I'm not going to help you with exactly how to "attempt it" This will get you started...
Go on windowsphone.com browse to your app..
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/d9ff60f1-cece-45ab-80af-7397dd2072c2
d9ff60f1-cece-45ab-80af-7397dd2072c2 is the game ID
Browse on your phone where the apps are find the Game ID, then see if you can find save file (some say "save" in the name), check to see if you can edit it.
That will get you started but, I'm not going to do it for you. There is a newer file explorer that has a edit feature built in, that is what I used to do it...
Dont forget to hit thanks if this helped !
Good luck

[Q] Has anyone been able to play Ravensword: Shadowlands?

I recently purchased a Shield to be my only & main Android gaming platform. The first game I spent money on was Ravensword: Shadowlands, but I cannot get it to launch using the controller. On startup, the game asks whether you would like to use a controller or not. If I select no, the game runs perfectly fine, but the Shield is unfortunately not designed with touch-only gaming in mind. When I do select yes, the game will make it past all the loading screens, get to the main menu as if it is running normally, but the menu itself wont load, just the background. It is animated and the sound does work.
I have scoured the internet for any sort of answer on this, and Crescent Moon Games (Developer) website seems to be down, so I cannot really contact anybody. I am sort of just looking to see if anyone else got it to launch, or if anyone else has experienced this issue with other games and discovered a workaround.
And thus it's not published as a game tile in SHIELD STORE.
i hope the game developers fix this.
This is definitely not a Nvidia issue!
I am really hoping the developers fix this; from what I have seen and played with the touch screen, the game is loads of fun (I did have pretty high expectations for $7.00 ) I would love to get ahold of the developers and inform them and help however I can, I'd like to think that would help. They might not even know that this game doesn't work with the Shield.
Anywho, has anyone encountered similar problems? At this point, I am willing to experiment to try and resolve this, but I am unfortunately a complete Android noob. I could post a video of the problem if that would help, but I do not know exactly how to capture whats happening on the Shield's screen.

Done and done.
I will try and update this list more often, my Steam game list is massive (365 titles and growing) and it is the weekend. :laugh:
I don't have a shield but this game does this on my device when I try to load with controller.

I have the exact same issue with my Shield. hangs up at the start screen, with no buttons displayed, with that giant black spot in the background.
I have the same error on all my Android devices when I have a bluetooth gamepad connected. I think the developer has pretty much given up on the game at this point.
I've contacted the veleoper a few weeks ago.
He told me it isn't optimized for Shield...
"The game doesn't support Nvidia shield, sorry for the trouble."

the first time I ran ravenssword in controller support mode I actually got it to work. it went to the game menu But none of the buttons on the controller work.the second time I actually ran it. it did the whole working background but frozen menu deal. with my experience with computers the only thing that I could say that would help is maybe you re installing the game

[Q] Auto Reloading of web pages

Hi all, I'm sorry if this is not the correct place to post this. But I hope the Mods will replace it where appropriate.
I just was wondering if there is a way to stop that annoying reloading of web pages when I push the browser to background process in my old Android 4.0.3 device. It so consumed data. Is there any way to keep the pages in memory or something?
Thanks
Hi,
As far as I know, it's because of Android cleaning unused programs from memory (RAM) when it's getting full, and on lower specs phones it happens pretty quickly, although I don't have accurate numbers here.
It's a core feature of Android, so I'm not sure there is a way to bypass, limit it or whitelist programs, perhaps on rooted phones, but I'm eager to know if it's possible.
But, is it the same on newer devices? I hope not, cos it's so lame.
So that's it... I just can't do anything unless I root. Hmmm...
Thanks for your comment though.
I can't answer for sure, but on all my devices it's the same problem, even under KitKat.
I suppose my RAM isn't enough, but someone would have to confirm if the problem still exists on high end devices like S4 or G2.
I don't know what you'll get here by rooting your device, cause all of mine are rooted but sometimes I still get the problem.
Well at least you can delete some bloatware so it's never a bad idea if you feel confident rooting the phone.
For repro, I usually do this, between each step, just press the Home button to return to the home screen :
- Launch a heavy game such as Dead Trigger 2 or Real Racing 3, or even a smaller one like Subway Surfers
- Launch Chrome, open something simple like Google News for mobiles
- Open the camera, no need to take a pic but just open it and go back to home straightaway
- Open Gmail, or another mail app
- Open Play Store
- Try to go back to your game (or browser)... on all of my devices I lose my current level, as it's as I've force quitted... yeah that sucks for low end or old devices like mines, but I don't think there is a workaround.
Just to say, on my iPod Touch 3 I get a better experience for games, although I have to go through reloading on Safari tabs.

Question Anyone seeing this "bsp monkey & bsp monkey1" in accessibility?

I have checked all apps and everything in my knowledge but cannot figure out what it is about? Please help me what it is "bsp monkey" & "bsp monkey1" in accessibility
I too can see that and was wondering what is that.
After recent update only this is visible.
I messaged Iqoo team over whatsapp on wednesday 14th Dec. They did not have any clue and has not answered till yet
I communicated with Google and they never heard about it. Seemed to arrive at same time META SERVICES self installed.
I think I had find something that will be helpful as I was also seeing this accessibility setting after new update.
So here that might help
Okay, so imagine you have a game you like to play on your phone or tablet. Sometimes when you open the game, there's a little video that plays before you can start playing. This video is called an ad. Sometimes, you can skip the ad after a few seconds, but sometimes you have to click a certain spot on the screen to make it go away.
The service that the statement is talking about doesn't know how to do that clicking on certain spot on the screen, so some ads that need that clicking won't work. It's like if you had a toy that only knows how to do certain things, but not everything.
Uninstall/Disable this app com.vivo.bsptest using ADB and it will be gone.
