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.
