Cosmin_13 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) I have a GTA Vice City backup that I made when game worked good with mods, no crash. My pc automatically upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 and when I downloaded GTA Vice City backup, it doesn't work more, even if it used to work. Using event viewer, crash report shows this: Faulting application name: gta-vc.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000 Faulting module name: d3d8.dll, version: 6.3.9600.18821, time stamp: 0x59ba8666 Exception code: 0xc0000142 Fault offset: 0x0009d4c2 Faulting process id: 0x1018 Faulting application start time: 0x01d34ce728d62e6f Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTA Vice City\gta-vc.exe Faulting module path: d3d8.dll Report Id: a62a1d3e-b8da-11e7-be82-208984639d43 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: I also tried to replace that d3d8.dll with original file, but then game starts and crashes during loadscreen. Could anyone help me? More facts: - I also deleted gta.set, not solved- turned off dep, not solved- turned on compatibility to XP, ME and 97, not solved - launched as admin, not solved.

ViceBoy69 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Causes of "0xc0000142" If you have received this error on your PC, it means that there was a malfunction in your system operation. Common reasons include incorrect or failed installation or uninstallation of software that may have left invalid entries in your Windows registry, consequences of a virus or malware attack, improper system shutdown due to a power failure or another factor, someone with little technical knowledge accidentally deleting a necessary system file or registry entry, as well as a number of other causes. The immediate cause of the "0xc0000142" error is a failure to correctly run one of its normal operations by a system or application component.
