Kojak1970 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Got a wild hair to play GTA again, and settled on Vice City, since that was one of the most fun games of the series for me. Been doing fine, but hit a little wall with the mission "Stunt Boat Challenge". Most of the time I'm not getting over the golf course at the beginning, and even if I do, I run out of time with a couple waypoints left. I checked out a video on Youtube, and seemed funny that the boat in the video was going noticeably faster than the boat in the game. By the way, this is the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy collection, being played on Windows 7. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Do the versions on Steam also have this problem? Thanks in advance!

Miro Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Do you have any mods installed? It's strange that you occur such a bug, maybe try to turn the Frame Limiter ON / OFF? Not sure if it'd help that much, but you can try. To do that, go to Options -> Display Setup -> Frame Limiter. Are you sure you're following the course correctly and taking sharp turns? You might also try to remove your gta_vc.set file located in the Vice City User Files folder. And maybe, upload your save game here, and I'll check if it happens here too.

Spuds725 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I've read of the frame limiter causing problems with the seaplane getting enough speed to take off-- so toggling it on (or off) may affect the boat's speed... certainly worth a try.

Kojak1970 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Weird. That was the problem. Turned the Frame Limiter back on, and finished it with over 30 seconds to spare the first try. Thanks a bunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3MaN1 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 why does this boat not handle good at all on the PS2 version That's weird, it should handle the same as in the PC and XBOX version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooltwou Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 OK but that still doesn't help me out on the handling issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceD Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Well, i have very weird & big problem. When i try reach 21st checkpoint (second platform) i failed mission with text: "You killed Rico". No matter how many start this mission, always when i touch platform, Rico is dead. Please, help me. This is first time when i have this bug.

DEALUX Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 ^ That sounds like another frame limiter issue. Enable it to eliminate the glitch. I suggest that you leave it on since those older GTA games don't work well with it turned off.

BruceD Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I had enable frame limiter, but you gave me a clue. When i disable this, i jump normally but on next platform Rico was dead. But thanks this i found solution. Decrease speed to minimum before platform and then accelerate boat. Little tricky but it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
