ViceBoy69 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hi is it a download of the game from Steam ? or a proper disk version of the game? i ask because i have a few copies of ViceCity being one of my favourite GTA's and i have not had an issue getting it to install on 64bit windows. I have run it on 8 10 and i am currently running win7 again as i prefer it to 10. Its the one GTA i have not had problems with GTA3 wouldnt run unless it was in compatability mode, San Andreas had to be run in admin mode, ViceCity has never given me issues. error c0000005 is a generic one doesnt point to the real issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
