GTA 3 Crashes on iPad 1? You are not Alone!

GTA 3 crashes on iPad 1 quite often! Rockstar Games released Grand Theft Auto 3 for iOS and Android earlier today. If you tried installing GTA 3 on iPad 1, the experience would have been a bitter one, I’m sure. The game works best with devices powered by A4 or A5 processors, so iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch are already among the devices not supported. Supported devices include:

  • iPhone 4S
  • iPhone 4
  • iPad 2
  • iPad 1
  • iPod Touch 4G

Although iPad 1 is powered by A4 processor and is among supported devices, the game doesn’t run that well in the original iPad.

So, if you want to play the game on iPad 1, be prepared for crashes! There is no solution for it so far and we’re not sure if a game update will fix it.
