EDITED OUT - PM me for it.

Use FlashGet! Speed is awesome, finished D/Ling in 50 minutes.
Quick question if anyone gets it:
Should I be suspicious of the way it installs? It asks me to use Unpak.bat
I changed the .bat into a .txt and here is the info it had:

@echo off

Should I be suspicious? I don't feel comfortable using .bat files and I don't know whether or not to be worried. Any ideas? Thanks.

speech of cutscenes (go to Option and activ8 SUBTITLES).
You can Expect Some Addons.

#3 : This game is MULTI language, which means you can switch
in options (choosing French or English for instance).


About the game:

The location is Vice City, and the vibe is glamour, power and
corruption...An entirely new game set in the `80s, Grand Theft Auto:
Vice City will surpass the unprecedented gameplay, cinematic graphics
and immersive audio experience that gamers associate with Grand Theft
Auto 3.

From the decade of big hair, excess and pastel suits comes a story of
one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile as
Grand Theft Auto returns to the PC. Vice City is a huge urban sprawl
ranging from the beach to the swamps and the glitz to the ghetto, and
is the most varied, complete and alive digital city ever created.
Combining non-linear gameplay with a character driven narrative, you
arrive in a town brimming with delights and degradation and are given
the opportunity to take it over as you choose.

[TheFilePirater]

this is soon gona be deleted...ur not suppose to supply direct links like this...and another thing, when more people find out, it will shut down

[mts04988]

1. it's been up for a while, and it was indirect as I replaced the two **'s.
2. I would appreciate a kind answer to my inquiry, You don't have to put me down and be like its gonna be closed. I had a question. I wanted to share and get a response. If the moderators feel it is a violation, then let them comment & close it. As a peer, I thought you'd help me with advice about what a .batch does. I wanted to know what this thing does. I'll delete the link if you guys really want me too, but I've seen other posts using the ** method.

[TheFilePirater]

nah its cool, your new so i dont really care, i just want to make sure u dont get all mad if they close this thread...i cant really answer your .bat things cuz im not sure

[mts04988]

oh ok. Yeah, I don't know what .bat file does/is. I know I sound really comp-noobish right now. But i can't really risk anythin right now on my comp So I was just checkin to see if any had experience with using .bat files when installing games b4. Anyway I took the link out to appease peers/moderators.

[mts04988]

bump.

[Mad Cat]

You have downloaded a rip. The .bat is fine, its just the medium executable for unpacking files that come with a rip (probably uHarc'ed)

[mts04988]

thanks for the assurance man! Soo..what is the definition of "rip", if this has been addressed in the FAQ I'm sorry, maybe you can link me to place where I can read about "rips", and um...well I dont know what the other categories r?

[Mobas]

*deleted post*

[mts04988]

[Smith]

[mts04988]

.bat file part of the install process. to unarchive the prog. I'd give u the FTP, but apparently the file is corrupted. The game runs fine, but completely silent.

[Smith]

pm me ill see 4 myself


it could be that we have 2 get the audio 4 ourselfs

[mts04988]

Audio files are there...
So once I got it I had to extract each file using Unpak.bat
Then I read instructions and I gotta left click on Black screen as soon as I dbl click. Play game No sounds. "No Audio Hardware detected" then I see tecaudio.bat and I read in other forum I have to let it run for the audio to work... I do...and now I get error message about "Please insert CD"... I get NO CD crack...same thing...I do "Fake audio files" crack...works but no sound...I've AARGED my way thru...See my other post if u want the full details...and I'll be sending the PM now.
