GTA3 Unhandled Exception on Load Game

Rhombus · December 5th, 2002

Hey, I just reinstalled GTA3 to play again and I've had this annoying problem. Every time I run GTA3, everything works fine and I can play and save. However, when I try to load a saved game, as soon as the loading progress bar finishes the game exits and I get a small pop-up error window with the GTA3 splash logo that says -

Unhandled Exception
Unhandled Exception at: c0000005
At address: 005454d4

I never had this problem before, and last time I had it installed I played through the entire game without a single lockup. I tried searching around other forums and other people have this error and yet no one seems to know how to fix it. Everyone who had this error had SP1 for WinXP (including me). All my system specs are in my sig. Any ideas?

Haha, I'm not using a crack. And anyway, the problem seems to have fixed itself... dunno how or why, but now it's working.
