alright thanks night wolf for the help ill try it out ... :D
hey nightwolf im running XP Home Edition i dont know how to change my videocard mode to VSYNC plz help! :lol:
my advice is to use the frame limiter and decrease the draw distance and when ur playing shut off the radio when ur in a vehicle, the thing is these help it go faster for me but it could be diffrent for everybody else so try it out but if it doesnt work well.... there could be other ways.
I never heard of that video card. It might be time to upgrade to a Geforce. Even a cheap model would probably be better than what you have now.Quote:

o sorry i have 256mb of ram and a kenora 650 videocard ;)
As for Vsync, I'm not sure how to get there in XP, but in 98 you would go to Control Panel and open your Display properties. Click on the Settings tab, then on the Advanced button. There should be a tab there with the name of your video card on it. Look for Open GL settings (assuming your card supports Open GL :( ), then look for Vertical Sync and turn it On.
If you have a slow video card, decreasing the draw distance should help. But in some cases it might actually play better if you increase it. For instance, I have a 64MB Geforce4 but only a 550Mhz Pentium 3 processor. Since my GPU is more powerful than my CPU, I get the best performance with the draw distance all the way up.Quote:

Also, for most Geforce cards the optimal resolution is 1024 x 768 with 16 bit color.
Another problem could be your CD drive if it runs slow it could cause significant lag in the game try a NO-CD patch and run it from your Hard drive, and tghere could be a difference.
thx alot for that guys
Excellent point, Neo. I forgot he said he's using the "real" version of the game, so it's probably loading files from the disc while playing. When you install the game, it asks if you want to copy all the audio files to your hard drive. It takes like 1.5 GB, but if you have the room it's worth it. Then simply go to megagames.com or gamecopyworld and download the version 1.0 English No CD patch.
well these are both great games!! nothing more fun than running over poeple with cars!! but which is better?
i personaly think gta is a better, i dont know y i just like it :D ...whats ur favorite?vice?orGTA#?
well they are both gta, so I agree gta is the best one :P
Well i like gta3 because of the fun and killing but i really like midnight club 2 because of the racing i really like racing and cars
i just finially finished downloading gta vice city verified hash :D
ive burned all the game and everythign but now when it tries to install i get this error message; :(
Component Transfer Error
Component: GTA Vice City
File Group : ReadMe
File : R:\ReadMe\ReadMe_Italian.txt
Error : The parameter is inncorrect
the you press the ok button then the installation stops and it still wont install now
please please please can someone help me :blink:
PLEASE IM GOING INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!
What i did was simply use a virtual drive and mount the cd1 image onto it, run installation but UNCHECK the radio station, then finish the installation. Then just keep cd2(play disc) on all the time. Otherwise i have no idea, sorry i couldnt help more aswell, this game is pretty good.
how do u use a virtual drive thing and mount it???????
but now as i uncheck the radio i now get this message
Component: GTA Vice City
File Group : ReadMe
File : R:\ReadMe\ReadMe_Italian.txt
Error : Data error (Cyclic redundancy check)
the hell do i do now???????????
If bikes were in GTA3 then it would have been won my vote easy, but i prefer things to have more things to do in them, it takes longer to finish Vice than it does GTA3
well first of all one of ur cds is currupt...and to virtiual mount it, you need some free space on ur hard drive...extract the 2 cds so u have 2 bins (or isos) and then extract both(not at the same time) with winiso into 1 folder...if it asks you to overwrite click no... then in that folder once both cds are extracted, find the installation file and run it...once ur done with the instillation u dont need those files in the folder so u can delete them....by the way, i want a vice city game for pc but one i got just gave me a blank white screen wen i run it and it froze up....can some one tell me y this could happen, how to fix it, or where to get a working copy(rip or real)
thnx, hope it helps
oh and i have a custum pc,
2.4GH
80 GB HD
512 RAM
geforece 4 128 mb nvidia drivers
and a soundblaster live sound card....i dont know what could be wrong
GTA3 is great, and it was topped when Vice City came out.
I will say that gta3 is better than vice city cause I like the city landscape better than the Miami Mix landscape
Note: I live in Florida
well i have only a few thing wrong with GTA 3 one the City wasn't big enough there were no Bikes but i loved the City setting even tho it wasn't that big and it was more modern and taking place in the present day and i liked it becuyz it took place in the present time although Vice City had a bigger more free roaming city and slightly faster and cooler cars. but what i would like to see is Rockstar games taking the detail and the speed and cars from Midnight Club and using those for GTA in the next GTA game. cuz when ever im playing Midnight Club 2 especially in Los Angelas i can picture having tommy in that city and playing in there.
GTA3 is inferior than Vice City
1. Bikes
2.Graphix
3. Better FPS
4.Music
5.Vehicules
6.Missions
ETC.
ill try this now thankx
I enjoyed Vice City's missions more. In GTA 3, after the Mafia missions the game just got boring to me. ;)
well i made the mistake of getting GTA3 on PC a while back and it ran like shit! laggy as a mother fucker :angry: i was gonna download vice but i wanna know if it is slow like GTA 3
it has better fps
GTA ran just fine for me... i guess it's just your comp. And yeah, Vice City requires the same specs... even better maybe.
pretty sure its ur specsQuote:

whats ur specs?
I've got both vice city and gta3.
gta3 ran moderately fast but was obviously designed for the playstation and converted to pc.
vice city however runs at a much higher speed and it looks that they took their time and made it a true pc version.
i did not change my spec in between either so....
I would get it as i think its a better game than the first one
cheers

When I had Vice City and GTA3 installed, Vice City ran much faster.
First of all, it's called english - very easy language to learn. Second, GTA3 was a fairly bad game (pc) from the beginning, many people couldnt run it, and some had errors/lagging even with a good pc. Vice city is a great game for pc, rockstar actually spent some good time on it this time. Get it.Quote:

I downloaded a rip and it worked fine the first time I ever installed it.
And you wouldn't see much of a difference in terms of gameplay in VC, concept same, just diff missions, weapon add-on, vehicle increment.
The recommended specifications are 256MB of RAM. Don't download it from KaZaA, there is a high chance of it being corrupted, get it from Shareaza, eMule or buy it!
I was playing the ps2 version of VC. ANd i don't really like the controls of the cars on the ps3 controller. Plus, not a huge GTA3 fan in anyway. So, if I got the cash, I'll keep it for another game or item.
shut up and upgrade ur pc then see how show it works <_<Quote:

and before downloading and playing u should have read the pc requirements <_<
Make sure in GTA3 you click on options, and turn TRAILS off! That slows down the game like a bitch!
Missing LiNk why do you have to be a smart ass?!! What he didn't use proper enough grammar for you. Anywayyyssss
If it doesn't run right on your PC and you have to pay $300+ dollars to upgrade, get GTA 3 on PS2. PS2 owners have beat this game many times over (it's so old now) even though it's still good. I do realize that not everyone has a PS2 but for the PC upgrade costs.....................
This might help you out.
GTA Vice City MINIMUM hardware specs.
800MHz Intel Pentium III or
800MHz AMD Athlon or
1.2GHz Intel Celeron or
1.2GHz AMD Duron.
128MB of RAM.
8 speed CD/DVD drive.
32MB video card with DirectX 9.0 compatible drivers (Geforce or better).
915MB 0f free hard disk space (+ 635MB if video card dosen't support DirectX texture compression).

Enjoy. :D

i cant find gta vice city on kazza (well a rel one at that)I want a file name and size,but not bin files.Is there any out there plz reply :D :D :D :blink: :(
I used the crack that came on the 2nd ISO for VC and I get past the first cd check, but how do I get past the in game CD check? I've burned both .iso's onto a CD, put them both in, and it never works. I've tried 2 NoCD patches and they both only get me past the first cd check.
I get the message "Please insert your GTA Vice City CD, or press ESC to quit." and I can't get past it. Anyone know what I need to do? Thanks in advance!
