What Grand Theft Auto Connected Is and What It Supports

Updated

Grand Theft Auto Connected (gtaconnected.com) is a custom scriptable multiplayer modification for several classic Grand Theft Auto games. According to the site, it works on GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, and GTA IV, and it supports both offline and online play. If you want to know whether it fits your setup, the key conditions are: you own one of those four games, you are on Windows (XP is explicitly listed) or running WINE, and you are comfortable with community-hosted resources rather than an official Rockstar service.

What the Mod Adds

The homepage lists these features:

  • Scripting in JavaScript, Lua, and Squirrel
  • Synced peds, traffic, and missions in multiplayer
  • Offline and online play in the same modification
  • Dynamically growing/melting snow
  • Custom objects
  • Peer-to-peer sync
  • Module SDK for both server and client

The scripting and SDK points matter most if you plan to build or run custom game modes; the sync features matter if you just want to play with others.

System Requirements and Compatibility

The only operating-system statements on the site are support for Windows XP and WINE. No other minimum hardware, game version, or storage requirements are published on the page reviewed. For anything beyond that, check the Wiki and Forum, which are linked from the site navigation.

Funding and Support Channels

The site links to a Patreon page, and PayPal appears as a payment platform on the site. These are presented as funding/support channels; the page does not state that any feature is paywalled, so treat payment as optional support unless the Patreon page says otherwise.

A Practical Next Step

If your goal is to try it: confirm you own one of the four supported games, open the Downloads page, and check the Wiki for install steps before running anything. If something breaks, search the Bugs tracker first, then ask on the Forum or Discord. Note that the project states it is not affiliated with Rockstar Games, so support comes from the community, not the game publisher.
