## What it is
SilentPatch is a community-made patch plugin for the 3D-era Grand Theft Auto games (GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas) that fixes crashes, bugs, and other long-standing issues without altering gameplay. It is written in C++ and distributed as drop-in ASI plugins for the original game binaries.
