It forces the game to load/save from a custom folder of your choice, bypassing all Windows permission issues.

1. Go to Grand Theft Auto Mods (GTAGarage or MixMods) and search for SilentPatch GTA3.
2. Download SilentPatchGTA3.asi.
3. Download ASI Loader (Ultimate ASI Loader or ScriptHook).
4. Copy SilentPatchGTA3.asi and dinput8.dll (the loader) into your GTA 3 root folder (where gta3.exe lives).
5. Run the game. SilentPatch rewrites the save function to use %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\GTA3\User Files instead of "My Documents".

Pro tip:
If the folder doesn’t exist, create it manually. Then start a new game, save once (it will fail), but the folder now exists—apply the permissions above, then save again. Works perfectly.
