Grand Theft Auto Vice City PC Help

[KeepSmokinReefa]

I downloaded this game right.

Got the no cd crack and everything to work.

Jus the graphics mad messed up, Looks like im trippin on acid. Cant really play like that.

I searched and theres a verson 1.1 patch that is supposed to fix graphitcal errors.

I downloaded it and everything.

It wont work.

It says 'This progam cannot fix GTA:VC because of the following reasons:

C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\gta-vc.exe: unknown version.'

So it says its an unknown version.

I dont knwo what to do from here.

I downloaded this game and it took 2ish days, I better be able to get it to work.

Somebody please help.

You put the No-CD crack in and it won't update because it isn't the original exe. You need to restore the backup you made of the .exe file, then patch it. (if you do it this way, you might need a new cd crack to work with 1.1) If you didn't make a backup, un-install the game, delete the c:/program files/rockstar/vice city folder, then re-install. Patch the game to 1.1 after you re-install it, then get a no-cd crack that works for version 1.1. Good luck.

You'll probably want to turn off trails in the video settings too, might be part of the acid effect. There's a certain set of video options that help the game run much more smooth too, I'll get back to you on that.. I'll have to boot up my copy and see.

alright, its trails off, frame limiter on, i turned the draw distance up, lowered resolution. Seemed to do the trick for me... but I don't have a great pc, maybe yours will be fine. I'd just rather have it run smooth on my machine, and figured it might help if I passed it on..

actually, come to think of it all that stuff might've been my problems with GTA 3, not Vice City... but oh well.

I fucked it up one way or another, I dont know lol.

So i gotta restart it all again, Bout to defrag then re-install and do it again and hopefully it works.

But +Rep to both of yall for helpin.

If that doesn't work, try updating your video card drivers.

Update your graphics card drivers, and if you can't get a workable crack, just keep the install mounted, then you can play whenever.

[maestroelite]

If that doesn't work let me know, I can try to get you a better version that does work.

And now im back at root 1. It did the same thing, I dont understand how or why, But it did. I did the patch then the crack and now it still has the graphics problem.
