Vice City Stories: Buglist

[M_Roc]

Well some bugs i seen:

 

when i ride a atv im sitting on the handle bars

cant save cars (only atvs and bikes)

cars sometimes ride on the side walk instead of the road

cars floating in air(wtf?!?)

cars riding upside down

custom tracks restart after going to a different city(load screen)

sometimes i have 7 stars, not 6

sometimes my gun acts like a knife

all the times i see the taxi doors open in the back when its just riding on the road

the road textures sometimes loads slow when going fast in a car

 

it just keeps on adding up

 

thats mine for now

 

[Long]

When I'm near my empire site and start killing people til I get a 3 star wanted level no heli shows up

[hax0rofl]

Mission: Brawn of the dead

 

Glitch: After killing all the zombies the first time you do this mish, the car you drove over in will be flipped over and upside down. This only happens the FIRST TIME this mission is attempted. And no, it's not only me, for Adam (Kuiosikle) also encountered this glitch.

Yeah, that happened to me, so damn annoying, it killed Lance because I didn't run away fast enough and I had to redo it...

 

This game is an absolute mess.

 

Anyway, the version number for the EUR is 1.02, and for the USA is 1.03. Are the bugs the same in both versions? I have a feeling there'll be a 1.04 soon for EUR and USA (like they silently did with LCS after the exploit), of course they might not bother.

I seriously had a couple of glitches but funny glitches.

 

I stole a Air Ambulance and I could fly underwater, check the video below:

 

Other glitch was cops, that runned to my car, but they didn't bust me. They just stood there. Pretty funny.

 

As I said before, all the glitches that you are having, I didn't exprencied them (YET!).

I get that glitch allot to. They usually end up suck and blow up.

 

If you get this fire one bullet at it. It's a little funny (if it's not stuck in the wall)

 

When in multiplayer looking at my brother's PSP my landstalker burnout smoke was in the air.

[.:nick:.]

No idea of this one but i was just told by my pager thingy that a empirer building was under attack so i got there and no one was doing athing 5 of my guys and 5 of the bikker people were just standing there doing nothing :S funny in a way as i just snapped their necks also when re enforce ments came they just ran around in circles weird

[d00d]

OK, this is getting rather serious now.

 

When flying a helicopter, sometimes when you get out the helicopter will stay frozen in mid air for a while, then come crashing down.

 

Here's the big one I found for today....Freezing Cameras.

 

Basically I was driving a Rio along and got out, but the camera stayed still and although I was swimming around and moving, the camera stayed still. I could walk off the screen! I didn't get a video of this particular incident, but it happened again, and this time I wasn't letting it go.

 

Edit: Better link to the video, one that actually works =]

http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...415536980822570

 

This was on land, so it was clearer. I had just gotten out of the Hermes parked there, and I could only get the camera to go normal again after I started manually targeting people. Rockstar, you officially need to find better bug testing staff. I'm ready and willing

Not sure if it's a glitch or bug, but I was about 30 or so drop offs into the taxi missions when I had to let a passenger go and visit a store, on the cut scene when he left the store he was run down and subequently killed by a car which prompted a 'mission failed message' - totally annoying - if there is anything I hate most and that's a 'random' mission where it's purely luck that dictates whether the player pregresses through it or not

[.:nick:.]

EmoPat:Glitch: After killing ///////// the first time you do this mish, the car you drove over in will be flipped over and upside down. This only happens the FIRST TIME this mission is attempted. And no, it's not only me, for Adam (Kuiosikle) also encountered this glitch.

I just did this mission and my car was flipped then it blow up

Also i was doing a defend empire buidling and i killed all the enemy but there were still 2 red arrows over 2 dead guys :S or were they over nothing cant remember now.... had to turn it off though and restart.

The list of glitches currently pissing me off:

1. Vehicles you store in garages don't stay there
2. Every time you turn in a vehicle it sounds as if you're skidding along, even if it's just the slightest of turns
3. If a tyre is blown out when driving along all you hear is a constant skidding sound
4. The empire building glitches everyone else is getting
5. On missions for the film studio where ramps are placed in the road, your car will occasionally get stuck in them so you can't finish the mission
6. In helicopters the camera is static - so when you tilt forward you can't really see where you're going as the camera is behind looking at the roads below
7. When you get in a vehicle it sometimes takes up to 10 seconds before you hear any engine sounds or radio
8. When travelling at high speed textures take forever to load, sometimes you have to slow down and wait until the scenery appears so you can make sure you're not crashing into foliage and walls etc.
9. Radio stations will randomly cut in and out
10. AI for people on your team (such as Lance) is appalling, they will do things such as sprint straight into the vehicle they are supposed to get in (the one you're driving) and won't open the door until you reverse or move a bit. On foot they sometimes run right in front of you while you're shooting so you kill them and fail the mission.
11. This one is rare but sometimes you kill a ped (the target is black) yet they still get up and walk around, and you have to kill them again so they actually stay dead.

I'm not sure if this is a glitch, but it occured at a time when the textures weren't loading well:

 

I had to defend one of my 'businesses,' and even though my crew was outside, they were just standing there, frozen. I know I have to recruit people with the up button, but in the past, when I've driven up, I think they were already fighting the rival gangs. I'm also thinking this might be a glitch is because this happened at a time when I blasted the crap out of someone right in front of the police, and they did nothing.

this happen to me twice.

 

places take times to load,especially in the second island,first one is good tho..

[thgirw_mas]

yea this game totally blows!,

i bought it 1st thing friday morning, updated it, played it until i got up to this mission, passed it, and as i was driving to take lance to the hotel, the game glitched!,

ps. i didnt downgrade or cheat at all,

i called sony up, they 'REALLY' helped me out...not.

Can it be considered a bug too that Vic can't punch or kick in close quarter combat? He's supposed to be a marine. He would just stand there while being beaten or clubbed to death by his enemies

[ModMaker135]

Here is my list of bugs:

 

1. Sometimes when getting on a quad, Vic crouches with his arms outstretched and makes 360 degree spins.

 

2. Cars in your garage disapear

 

3. Cars occasionally spawn upside down under bridges

 

4. On the Loan Shark empire missions, one of the assasin guys froze and was completely unsolid, yet he kept attacking me. His PCJ-600 could not be jacked.

 

5. Sometimes when killing peds, once they die you can quickly pick them back up off the ground and they reset to red health. (only tried this several times on shopkeepers).

 

6. Car audio and model loading times suck.

 

7. Sometimes the Biplane will not accelerate.

 

8. When stuck on a barrier on a bike (when both wheels cannot touch the ground) and you hop off, you will teleport randomly.

 

9. In the mission Kill Phil i got no audio whatsoever.

 

10. Vic sometimes does not attack at extreme close range.

 

11. Police officers on motorbikes are crazy and ram into you alot, giving you a wanted level even when obeying the law.

 

12. In the mission "Turn on, tune in, Bug out" when you shoot the helicopter at little havana with a rocket launcher the officers that fall freeze in mid-air just before ground in strange positions. They just float there.

after all this bugs readden on 3 pages i kinda feel VCS is a disqusting game set in miami with lots of colors and lots of amateur-cartoon umm stuff .IS it really that bad or you are just pointing something you dont like about the game.GTA SA had a lots of bugs too but nobody cared.

If this topic hasnt been made i would have bought it together with a psp.Now i'm back to ps2 release hoping

I've only had the Dissaeapring carsglitch, and thats in one garage and AndySerb Most of the glitches are repeated anyway.

[jarjar]

Anyone else seen the grammar glitch during the mission "Waking Up The Neighbors"? It says "look Out", instead of what it should say, "Look Out". Nothing major, but the first time I've ever seen Rockstar make a grammar/spelling mistake in any of there games.

 

Also, has anyone else found the glitch with the garage at Phil's Old Hideout (Your Second Hideout in the game) where you can put as many cars as possible into the garage? I figure I better ask first to save me writing a huge thing on how to do it if it's already been done.

me i only got the garage glitch.the game looks better than SA,VC,LC ps2 versions,and the game is better than Lcs.

 

as far for ps2 port...Good Luck..

[Timpo]

some of you will remember back from VC, that sometimes when you just loaded/saved a game, you will see taxis without taxi signs on them. it's in VCS too.

 

[88survivor]

I remember that one. I always that maybe one of the taxi drivers were rebelling against the sign in a way to show that they are in control and don't need a stupid sign.

[Dem57]

if u steer the quad bike left and then right the quad bike dosent steer right

[xPyrox]

Ok.

well on the mission where the men kidnap Louise after Lance is stoned.

 

I got into her inferneus outside the house and pressed up for trip skip.

And when it started the cut scene, the car was parked on it's roof.

 

Also, another time, I did it in a helicopter, and the helicopter appeared half stuck in then ground, but when I got in it, it fell through the floor and caught fire and woulden't let me get out. ><'

 

I can't get any screenshots.

 

I got pissed off with being on 2.6 and upgraded >.>

[Long]

once I got rammed of a bike by a cop car and flew into a corner of some building then I fell through the floor just like in LCS

[Pat]

WOAH, this is a weird'n!

 

I took a Splitz 6 that I had just recently bought from my Compound Safehouse, and went out to see. I saw a big rock/island and wondered if I could drive on it. I tried driving on it and all of a sudden I started doing flips and crazy sh*t all over the skys of VC. I eventually landed and got about a $10,000 insane stunt bonus.

 

Also, I had a lightless taxi. I started the mission where you have to ram Forbes's car's trunk and then pull him out of the car. I sped in his direction then hit a lightless taxi. I said to myself "f*ck Forbes!" and got in the taxi. I lost Forbes (On purpous) and put it in my Compound Safehouse garage, which hasn't eaten any of my cars. Just recently, I walked up to the garage and it was gone. I was mega pissed.

[method.man 2]

Ive only ecountered 2 glitchs that annoy me

 

1. No on ever appears outside of my empires theres never any one to recruit outside anyone of them

 

2. im just on the second island and ive yet to see a cop on foot except when theyve got out there car to chase me. this might sound helpful but it spoils the game for me cause i think its more fun when cops are after you

 

the pop up glitch: i have seen this but it cant really be classed as a glitch as such

its just very slow at loading textures

youll find when you travel fast enough(car,bike etc) ,most games suffer from slow texture loading but i have to admit it is terrible in VCS

 

btw to a previous poster who said some games dont have glitchs:

 

Your wrong. unless its such a basic game i.e pong then it will have a glitch somewhere.

it would be pretty much impossible to program a game of VCS standards without glitchs.

 

Ive never yet played a game without one and i used to own ps2 with 27 games nw i have xbox with 41 games (friend works at local gameshop i get discount) and ive always found one which can either help me or hinder me.

 

And if you want to prove me wrong P.M me with a message of a game ( psp standards or better) that you think has no glitchs in it and i will 100% find one whether its minor or huge

 

P.S. does anyone know where i can get hold of new cases for the psp cause mine has got a crack in it(just the casing) and its bugging me

 

 

P.S

[Sai]

-Sometimes after clearing the inner building of a rival gang during an Empire assualt, you'll appear outside the nearest hospital instead of seeing the Attack Passed! screen. You can then venture back to the business and buy it normally though.

 

-Sometimes if you hit a rail or other obstruction with a bike, quad, or such, Vic will be on the rail and stay motionless, lying there, which will make him lose health until he dies.

[Swikity]

The thing that really annoys me is the texturing TOTALLY lags.

 

If your in a fast car, driving at full speed, the roads are all grey and f*cked up.
