In the PC version of GTA3 is the dissapearing purple nines bug from the PS2 version fixed?
Also if it is not how can I make sure they don't go?

No it wasnt fixed in the PC version because it happened to me.

After I had got all the way thru the game the second time and none of them turned up I looked round for a fix. Too cut a long story short, I couldnt find one, so I just made my own.

I think it only happens the second time you play it. You have to remove your save game files or something like that.

Maybe someone else can throw some light on the subject?

Hmmm. Strange they didn't fix it. Maybe theres a patch or an unofficial mod which might fix it?

I found this if anyone is interested:

 Code:
"Essentially, once successfully completing the final D-Ice
mission, the Jacks have won the turf war and the Nines are
no longer to be found on the streets any further during the
game. This is when the glitch occurs; once you have saved
after completing this mission, selecting "New Game" from
the pause menu will create a new game in which the Nines
are already exterminated. However, any existing save files
from before the final D-Ice mission was completed will
still have the Nines. This is why creating the save file of
a fresh game in slot 8 when you first create the GTA3 save
block and starting new games by loading it avoids the
problem."

So it seems if you save a game when you first get it, after completing the first Luigi Mission, and just leave it as a backup. Or, just don't replay the game.
