if i was you i wood get a new pc
i downloaded a shit ver from nova and it had a Virus may be u got the virus ver PM me if u wont the Non Virus Ver
regardless, Nightassassin was right, you really could do with a new pc. Nowadays your looking atleast 1.5Ghz if your wanting to run games decently, with 512 memory and at least 64mb of graphics (AGP) of course better naturally would be better.
Thanks ezyryder O and is's Night Assassin
here in aus you can get a new pc from about $1000 bucks and thats a beest like 2.6giz
dude, you really have to stop reading into specs, ive seen 700mhz machines run the latest games fine, the only thing i would really suggest needs upgrading is the graphics card, but honestly, I can play vicec ity on a duron 650, 256mb of ram, and a geforce 4 mx fine.
Everyones going on about new pc's and so on, and it makes people beleive into the hype, whilst having a faster pc would be good, a lot of people dont realise that as soon as a new chip comes out, it doesnt make the old one slow
Plus, he says that the game runs fine at first, so lets be constructive rather than telling him to splash out on a 1000 dollar system, which not all of us can afford
mate, i would suggest checking for overheating problems. Run some other processor intensive apps and see if you get the same thing, then report back and we'll see what we can do.
I doubt it will run with a geforce 2 mx (decent anyway), geforce 4 mx's are dead cheap these days, i advise you get one. I wouldn't say that is the main reason it's not working though.
I said that the game works perfectly in all resolutions, but after a while everything just stops!!!!When i install the game, after it asks to put in the second cd i have a couple of error messages and i have to press ignore on all of them. Which version of Vice city is the best?????????
Did you put the second cd in? Or dont you have it? I'm currently downloading the 2cd version .bin files.
I downloaded GTA Vice City from suprnova and it plays fine on mine.Have you got the latest drivers for your card?
IMO you don't need a new PC just upgrade your RAM and see how you go with that.
Yes, i have the latest drivers for my card and i have the second cd.
Try disabling a certain sound option, I forget which, something like dynamic sound or something, it's an on/off option in the sound options menu ingame.
This fixed my random crashing errors.
Hope it helps. :)
if you like speed, strength and doing stunts in vice city, try this edit-made myself and works great
just go to the data folder then open handling.cfg and change your car stats"favorite car or one no one else has"sunshine autos" to:
20000.0 2.0 4.5 1.4 0.0 0.1 -0.3 3 2.0 .4 0.5 5 300.0 50.0 4 P 12.0 0.48 0 20.0 2.2 0.20 0.40 0.02 105000 0.25 -0.16 0.5 0.3
2018184 0 0
works great and took some time to get it right, lightning speed, like a tank and handles good takes some time to stop
try it
Tryed it, and it didn't work <_<Quote:

Wow what a body on her!!
Looks good maybee I will try it out (the car MOD :P )
does anyone here know of a cheat or a trainer that allows you to passmissions by just entering the mission, then you put in the cheat/press a button (if its a trainer), and you pass the mission?
if anyone could reply and/or give me this, i will be very thankful.
thanks alot :)
tralalala
i wouldnt bother dude. u will ruin the game. sure ull pass the mission tahts pissing u off but then u will doit for every mission and it will take u have a hour to compleate and ull feel bad about urself cuz it cost u £40 or took 14 hrs to D/L :rolleyes:
GOTO :rolleyes: http://happysurfer.com/cheats.html <_<

tralalala
I've stopped playing VC now for a while because I've got 14 out of 15 properties and I was just driving around for a week looking for missions to do. It say's I'm at 50% done but can't find any missions at all, and even if i do it would probaly just be one mabey two missions. I want the missions that lead to more and more till I eventually get them all but it is just getting sooooooo f$%^ boring, Does anyone have a sure way to get more missions when a guy get's to the point in the game I'm at?? Probaly going to uninstall soon if I don't get to many options, so after a couple of day's no need for more responses!! :beerchug:
So you've beat the final storyline mission?
Nice site,has loads of patches and stuff.Thanks. ;)Quote:

Well I don't think so, it only say's 50% or so done for mission's and from what I hear, you end up fighting the guy who you were working for at the start for all of vice city and I haven't done that yet, but I can't find anymore for the life of me and my cell phone never rings anymore, guess it's time to find a new line of buisness B) , mabey it's the one property I don't have that will get the ball rolling but I haven't run into it yet.The one I don't have is a condo or just a save place from what I understand but I have the night club, ice cream,car dealer,condos,mansion,docks,I can't name them all but 14 out of 15??
Is anyone else having the "Catostrophic Failure" error at around 40% into the installshield installation? I have both CDs, bins and cues, and extracted everything correctly. Is it my Windows XP thats causing the problem? Or maybe the privilages under my User name? Has anyone eiter installed/played this yet or worked around this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Buy!
Ok its simple enough, i noticed a few people had problems with the game, so i'll post the way i did it (just finished downloading, have the game on ps2, so much better on pc).
1. Go through the normal installation on cd1, but at the start of the installation, deselect the radio station.
2. Install (it shouldnt ask for cd2)
3. On cd2, go to the patch folder, copy the exe file and go to where you installed vice city, and replace that main exe with the one you copied.
Voila :D
I get "Data Error Cyclic Redundancy check" Data 2.cab when trying to install FLA-VCA.CUE
Any suggestions please?
I'm not sure if this is the cue files fault because all it does is load up the bin, i make my own cue files (quicker than to find a download) and this is what i got:
FILE "FLT-VCA.BIN" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
I doubt itll work because it soughta sounds like its corrupt there, check that corrupt file fixer in the dev forum, i havnt read about it yet, but i saw the topic awhile ago.
i got a real version of vice city juts a couple days ago and i seems to go quite slow on my computer i have a pentium 4 ;) :D is there any way that i could make the game run alot faster? :rolleyes:
what is your Ram and What is it running at?
i got 480 MB of Ram :blink:
what video card do you have?
mofos, I see your new to this board, welcome! When you post a problem, try and be very specific and give details. Your telling us its moving slow, but its hard to figure out why unless you give details.
What OS you running?
Pentium 4 but how fast is your processor?
What video card?
Try and give details when you post, it'll make helping you much easier. :)
EDIT: Typo
The main thing which predicts on the speed of GTA3+ is the video card.
The requirements are taking the piss and it willbe slow on anything under 64mb.
I've got a duron 1 gig Cpu and an ATI Radeon 7500 and 256mb of ram and the game works perfect for me.
GTA3 Vice City? where can i find it? search function doesn't work. could someone post the link? :P
GTA3 and GTA VC are 2 diffrent games
i would post a link but im new to this forum stuff i downloaded a real version of vice city like last week. Heres some information to go on the file size is 245,497KB
and the file is named GTA - Vice City unpacks to 1.27gb.exe B)
This is from readme.txt in the Vice City folder...
Dynamic Acoustic Modeling:
Turning off Dynamic Acoustic Modeling in the Sound Options will give a small performance
gain.
Screen Resolution:
Selecting lower Screen Resolutions in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City display setup will
allow faster gameplay on lower end machines. Also, using 16 bit color, instead of 32 bit
color, will help in these circumstances.
Frame Limit:
We do not suggest disabling the "Frame Limit" in the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City display
Setup page, as this will lead to a more "variable" rate of playback.
VSYNC:
We recommend that you make sure you have set your video card to VSYNC ON in your video
card advanced options (from Control Panel/Display Properties).
...Also, make sure to close all other programs, screen savers, and virus scanner before launching the game. Hope this helps. :)
o sorry i have 256mb of ram and a kenora 650 videocard ;)
I'm pretty sure this file is on Kazaa, but there are never any users for it.Quote:
