Girish 3,773 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 You forgot to post your system specifications, as I specified in my previous post. Link to post Share on other sites
Kratos2000 62 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 You forgot to post your system specifications, as I specified in my previous post. there is no chance in the world that GTA Vice City won't work. i'm playing GTA IV with no problems, so Vice City? anyway: Geforce 9600GT 512 MB (soon Geforce 9800GT 1024MB) 4 GB RAM E8400 but i'm playing! until i'm going to a mission. or loading a save game file.

Girish 3,773 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Try updating your video drivers and delete the gta_vc.set file from the User Files folder. If you're on Vista, try running the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode. Link to post Share on other sites
Kratos2000 62 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Try updating your video drivers and delete the gta_vc.set file from the User Files folder. If you're on Vista, try running the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode. they are already updated, by the way: it's not the problem with my computer, i may start the game ,see the cutscenes with sonny forelli in the start, but going to a mission (to the ocean view hotel for example it's the first mission) it's freezing after the cutscenes of the mission. i will try to delete the file edit: it's works! but how can i change the graphicks without of that file to return?

Sniputer 5 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 .set file is the setting file, it "makes itself" if deleted. So it is just bad luck if it doesnt work after the settingchanges... Link to post Share on other sites

Girish 3,773 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 edit: it's works! but how can i change the graphicks without of that file to return? I don't really understand what you mean, but the .set file is supposed to be regenerated when you start the game after deleting it. That's because it stores your in-game settings and everything. Can you not change your graphics settings? Link to post Share on other sites

Can you not change your graphics settings? i can, but if i change, this file appears again, and again i need to delete him. Link to post Share on other sites
Girish 3,773 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The game cannot run without that file, so you need it. Is there a specific setting at which the game crashes? Have you tried running the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode as I suggested before? Link to post Share on other sites
Kratos2000 62 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 not. i may play as much as i want, but when i'm going to the first's mission marker ,i see the cutscenes, and the game freeze at a black screen. Link to post Share on other sites
Girish 3,773 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 So, have you tried running the game in Windows 98 compatibility or not? Try it and let us know if it helps. Also, are you sure you have purchased a legit copy of the game? Link to post Share on other sites
