Cameljockey Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I just purchased The Trilogy for PC (have had PS2 versions for years) and I must say that I enjoy it more on the PC than I ever did on the PS2. Everything went fine with GTA III and San Andreas but Vice City is giving me a fit. It seems that as soon as I let off of the accelerator in a vehicle, the brakes lock up. No coasting (or unaccelerated turning) at all, also no reverse. This is extremely aggravating and makes the game almost unplayable since driving is a BIG part of the game. Any and all suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 First, please post the required information from the Pinned Troubleshooting topic here: Before you post a topic, please read the pinned bug list. It is likely that you're not the first person to encounter a problem, and we may have found a solution already. If the bug list cannot help, you'll need to post a new topic. Please provide useful topic titles. "Help" or "problem" give us no insight into the problem - every topic in the Troubleshooting forum will no doubt entail a problem seeking help! To get the most amount of help for your problem, we need as many details as we can get about your system's specs. Therefore it is highly suggested (read: demanded) that you provide: • What platform: PC, PS2, or X-Box • What version number of GTA: VC for PC, the 1.1 patch was pretty much obsolete a month after it was released-- for certain problems on PS2, it would be a good idea to post what version-- original, platinum, doublepack, triplepack. •Did the game work normally at any time before, did you change anything (To accurately diagnose problems the following should be posted for any PC problems) • What CPU and its speed • How much RAM, also what kind (DDR, SDRAM) and speed • What video card and vram • Which version of Windows (and any service packs) • Which DirectX version and driver version • What sound card and driver version • History: Is this your first install? Did it work once before? Anything that is relevant. • Screenshots, if applicable. This is especially necessary with display issues which can be explained far easier by use of visual aids. • Above all else, a detailed description of your problem. Give as much information as possible! Keep it relevant, though. We don't need a fifty-page printout from some diagnosis program. Usually the above prompts will suffice. Also, can you post a video detailing what exactly the problem is to give people a better understanding of what's going on? You can use the free (trial version) of Fraps to take the video, then upload it to Youtube and post it here in this topic. (If the video is over 2GB, you will have to convert it first, before uploading. Just a heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadcapSmoky22 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I had similar problem long time ago, and changing sound system generator (you know what I mean? It's in the sounds section) helped me. However it sometimes switched back and I had to switch back to original sound system generator etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameljockey Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Sorry about that! I'm a noob here. Anyway. I uninstalled Vice City and re-installed and now everything seems to be working. I just can't seem to find out how to invert the right joystick axis so it will pan right. Just for grins, here are my specs.

radioman Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 It looks like you are using a controller? If so, have you tried using the Keyboard/mouse controls(that is how the PC version was designed to be played)? To see if that helps. Also, are all your drivers up to date-ie. Video, Sound, DX, etc.?

Cameljockey Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 The controller works fine with the exception of the right joystick axis in VC. You can invert the axis in San Andreas but not VC evidently. I'll just have to get used to it. I spend most of my time in flight sims but enjoy a little senseless murder and mayhem from time to time. I did find out that I have to disconnect my flight controls (joystick, rudder pedals, TrackIr) when I use the PS2 controller because there is a conflict. All drivers are up to date. I keep them that way although I usually wait a couple of weeks after they come out to let those who must have the latest and greatest be the lab rats. I'm glad I do it that way because the latest Nvidia driver (196.75) was pulled by Nvidia because it was shutting down the cooling fan on a good many peoples' cards. I'm running DirectX 9.0c in Windows XP Pro SP3. I really appreciate the help. I'll be around from time to time. Cameljockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
