Girish Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 What error do you get? Have you tried running the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW_29 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Easy. Just add VC to exceptions in Windows DEP. Here You go, in the propereties of 'My Computer' go to: >>> Advanced System Settings >>> Performance Settings >>> Data Execution Prevention, select the second 'tick' then add gtavc.exe as exception into the list. I don't remember if restart is needed but this should fix the problem for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember if restart is needed but this should fix the problem for sure DO.NOT. EVER. DO. THAT. Even though the OP's problem is likely solved by now, I have to note that adding the 'second tick' will break random other things on your PC. If any game seriously requires that, use a program to patch the game's EXE to remove the so-called 'NXCOMPAT' flag, and UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES follow the above instructions. Zer0w5 and Silent 2 Inactive in GTA/R* title modification indefinitely pursuant to a court order obtained by TTWO. Good job acting against modding!

Lets count , it is like 4 years since i do so and nothing bad happened after that, not any single fault with other things, programs games etc. after that fix, so just let him decide I mean you are probably right that it is risky thing bcz it's messing with OS advanced functions, but i didn't notice any problems poping up after that. Well, after all he can at least give it a try. Edited September 19, 2015 by MW_29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
