VCS PS2 Bugs & Glitches

another glitch i just encountered... in the mission i think its called Cradle Robbing from Louise where u gotta scare the welfare worker. first off the cutscene didn't have Vic of Louise in it, just the scene of the living room, then when I went to the welfare worker and the thugs they were sitting in invisible cars that didn't move.

 

then i played the mission again (cop killed me) and this time the cut scene was fine but the 2 cars were stuck in the ground diagonally in the air and on top of eachother, again not moving

Yeah, except that's not just that mission, it can be any one of them supposedly, as I got it with the mission where you go into the Stallionz bar and get attacked by the bikers. I did, however, see Vic during the opening scene, just no Forbes or Lance. Not only were the bikers and Lance invisible, they weren't actually "there", as you saw arrows but they never moved. Tried hitting a few and just hit air.

 

I noticed the Taxi rear door open thing too, but that could just be because of a passenger. And yeah, the street deserted thing is often but pedestrians and cars eventually spawn. Last thing I noticed that I never experienced in my PSP version but knew was around was the upside down world glitch. Got that the other day when I was swimming around Leaf Links. Weird, as the ocean reversed and there was this black pit in front of me. Being the curious fellow I am, I swam in and fell into blue hell (whatever it is) for like 15 seconds and came out on land at the golf course. Actually handy, considering I was looking to get on shore. XD

Something that I was wondering

 

I am doing the Empire building missions on protection. I get instructions to go protect a store. Then I get instructions to go and destroy a store owned by the Cholos. I do it, but as the screen loads back up, all of a sudden, I am in the sea, far away from the coastline on the west coast. I get instructions that one of my stores was being attacked and I was to go and save it. Impossible as I can't swim fast enough (too far away) and just die.

 

Is this a glitch or part of the mission?

Now that's a glitch worth complaining about. That is a significant glitch.

Does this always happen, or did it only occur like once? That's a really weird glitch... Hope it goes away, heh.

I just tried it again today and didn't see the glitch again (thankfully). I have done the pimping and extortion missions already, but I don't want to jinx anything in the future.

 

Yep it was weird. If this was CJ in GTASA, you would have been able to swim to shore and continue, but since you can only swim so long in this game, the mission would have been impossible to pass.

That's why it pays also doing the side missions that upgrade your health, armor, sprinting and swimming abilities, so glitch or no glitch you have extra protection or abilities to cope up with the situation.

Wonder if these glitches have something to do with the Take-2 being Hijacked thingy? I don't have the PS2 version though.

That may be a glitch but it's no bug.

That glitch with the invisible Lance and Forbes and if they were not there...I had a similar one. During "Light my pire", in that cutscene where You and Lance will get the Infernus and the men destroy it, Vic, Lance, the gangsters and the vehicles weren't there. They were talking and the camera changed like if they were there, but nothing appeared. After that, Lance was floating in an invisible bike in front of a tree, but wasn't moving.

So I've killed him and started again and then it was fixed... nervous.gif

I'm saying it's not a bug because it doesn't really affect the performance of the Quadbike or anything else but it's a glitch to me since the jump on feature was left out of the Quadbike but not the other motorbikes.

Well one complaint or bug I find very annoying is random drastic framerate drops in the most comprehensible spots, (ahem....North Point Mall) and just randomly around the city when I'm cruising.

thanks for stating the obvious captain obvious

I was just stating my opinion on how that has a glitch and not really a bug. dozingoff.gif

That is absolutely a glitch. It happened to me as well, and I opened this thread to see if anyone else had reported it. I was also going the Protection Racket missions (I was somewhere around job 9 or 10 I think), and when I exited a store (like, smack dab in the middle of town), when the game finished loading I was out all the way to the boundary of the sea. And, of course, because of those goddamn swimming limitations, I died well before I could get shore. (And yes, the game text was telling me to hurry up and get to the next store. As if.)

 

Nothing like this has ever happened to me in a GTA game, if memory serves. However, the "empty streets" glitch someone else noted happened to me in one game (and it's not VCS). It was the first Grand Theft Auto. All cars disappeared except ambulances. No idea why.

I've got both islands open and was going around taking over businesses and repairing mine. After a while, the L3 button wouldn't let me go into manual aim mode. Had to destroy some assets inside a business with a grenade.

 

I saved after that and even switched controllers but L3 still had no effect. Had to reset and reload to get it back to normal.

I forgot to mention when I first started playing the game every 5 minutes it would say my controller was unplugged and it would bring the message up and I had to keep hitting triangle to exit out of it. It sounds a bit odd but my controller was functioning normally, I even unplugged it multiple times but it didn't fix it.

 

Finally after resetting the game it hadn't happened again, I thought it was caused by my controller but I now know it was the game.

I had the dissappearing characters in cutscenes in previous GTAs, but not in this one, so far after 15 hours in.

 

I did experience many other glitches though, such as my crew and enemy gangs standing in place doing nothing after i roll up to my business being attacked. They just stand there looking at each other.

 

 

I also had terrible lag during a few missions....cars dissappearing after i exit them and walk only 20 ft...strangely horrible A.I where my crew will not retaliate after getting shot by other gangs. I also had a random crash or two. The most annoying thing however, is the camera mode zooming out on vic or my vehicle without me pressing anything. Instead of the 'medium' range of the camera behind my back, it always winds up switching to the furthest away --- strange.

 

 

And please, the morons who constantly cry: " ALL GAMES HAVE BUGS...THEY'RE NOT THAT BAD!!!! YOU STILL CAN COMPLETE THE STORY... STOP COMPLAINING!!!" --- stop. Tolerating low standards will lead to designers turning out buggier and crappier titles. Its important to make notice of even the smallest of glitches, so maybe things can be tested bettter in the future. There is no excuse for the shoddy port that is VCS. I had less problems with LCS...no lag, no crashes, etc.

WWHD, i agree icon14.gif

We all play differently, but i encountered more glitches in VCS , than in whole of LCS( and i'm only on my 3rd Mission, plus all Ballons, Firetruck, Vigilante and 34 Rampages, and as i mentioned on another post, to me, LCS is much better.

As anyone passed the Rampage @ North Point Mall? Pls tell me how? Any specific way?? It's driving me nuts die.gifmercie_blink.gif

Now the reason there are posts like that are because it's dumb to complain over the smallest glitches. I have no problem with people reporting glitches they've found in the game, but when you say VCS sucks because of it, that's just stupid. We aren't Rockstar, we can't fix the glitches. Rockstar knows what glitches they put in the game and they should improve on them.

 

Tolerating the glitches won't cause the future GTA titles to get infested with glitches. Rockstar learns from it and moves on.

Mister Zero

When I'm playing, gangs just won't stop attacking my empires. I do each one successfully, and everytime it tells me another is under attack, sometimes on the the other islands. bored.gif I did 7 in a row before I gave up and turned it off.

That's not a glitch but you'll have to take over every Empire of that gang type or every Empire and reset your PS2 for the attacks to stop for good.

In LCS, my brass knuckles used to disappear everytime I either reload or save (not sure about save, though).

That sounds about right, that I lost them when I had reloaded, but I know of a few times when I passed a mission and they were gone.

I also had terrible lag during a few missions....

 

I experienced this as well, and haven't in any other game. Specifically, it seems like the game plots out how events are supposed to take place, and if you decide to do things another way it confuses the system and your frame rate drops into the single digits or some sh*t.

 

SPOILERS-ish: This happened to me on more than one occasion, but I can only remember what happened in one specific instance. It was the mission where you had to go meet Louise when she was hiding behind the restaurant. You get there and she gets kidnapped - then you have to figure out which car she is in Downtown before time runs out. Anyway - after the quick cutscene when she gets kidnapped some dudes come after you and I guess you're supposed to kill them. I didn't really see the point in wasting my time on them, so I just jumped in a car and decided to head Downtown. After I left the vicinity of the restaurant, the frame rate dropped like a ROCK. There seemed to be more pop-in than usual as well, as if to imply that the game can load all that sh*t, but wasn't expecting to. Everything was back to normal after a minute or two, but it was chug-chug-chug for a bit. That gets pretty irritating.

Edit: Sorry for the double post. I got the "Server is busy" notice and something hiccuped at the wrong time.

I wish it had fun bugs like Vice City.  Remember driving a golf cart into the mall to get into ghost world?  Or morphing yourself with a PCJ 600 so you can't fall off?

 

Ahh...PCJ Tommy. Good memories... colgate.gif

funniest bug I've seen in vcs is what I call 'dragged out of car by a bullet'

 

How I done this:

I walked in front of a car to make it stop, got the mini-gun out, entered free-aim mode and fired one bullet into the shoulder of the driver. When I did that, something dragged the driver out of the car by his feet.

 

mercie_blink.gif <--The look on my face when this happened

 

dunno if this works with any other guns
