Barguast Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Does the same occur if you just run gta-vc.exe (without VC-MP). I had a similar problem a few days ago (deleting the VC settings file solved it) but if you did try this on a clean Win XP install then I doubt you have the same issue as me...

jax Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 If you have any D3D8.dll mod's installed they can conflict with our VC-MP client, and thus will cause what you have said. -jax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molotow Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 1) Delete this file (Sry i have a German System ^^) %Systemroot%\Eigene Dateien\GTA Vice City User Files\ the File gta_vc.set 2) Use a English exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f34r Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Make sure you do not have any D3d8.dll mods installed such as spookies speedometer mod as those mods conflict with VC-MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caytchen Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 Made a little tool that fixes my problem. source: #include <windows.h> int main() {HWND vc = FindWindow(0, "GTA: Vice City");SetForegroundWindow(vc);} http://rapidshare.de/files/4696436/gtafix.exe.html Has to be run after you got back to desktop. If you believe its a virus then there is nothing i can do for you.. maybe you find another way or just compile it on your own (maybe you guys could include this next time, would save me time =) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
