Troubleshooting GTAIII Installation on Android

Last Updated: April 3, 2024

Question: How do I resolve an error message related to installation on my Android device?

Answer: Most installation issues are a result of the installer not being able to start or complete the installation of all files for the game.

When you first install the game, it downloads the very small installer app (~8MB).

This installer downloads the game files and needs some additional space to expand assets and complete the installation process.  Make sure you have sufficient space to install the application and follow the steps below.

Cancel any pending downloads

Go to Manage Applications on your device, then hit "Force Stop"

Uninstall GTA III from your device

• From the Google Play App

• Select My Apps & Games

• Select Installed Apps

• Open the App

• Select Uninstall

Re-install the App

• From the Google Play App

• Select My Apps & Games

• Select Library

• Reinstall the App

Some installation issues can occur if your connection has a problem or your carrier throttles or restricts large downloads over their data networks.  If this occurs, attempt to connect via a WiFi and perform the steps above.
