Great, so I just installed GTA Vice City on Steam and it won't launch? I'm on Windows x64. I have tried compatabilty settings with no joy....any suggestions anyone?
EDIT - Ok I have it working, sort of. I had to delete the vset file in vice city user settings. Then add the vc.exe to the DEP list. Also, if I don't have frame limiter set to on in the game settings it will freeze at "Marco's Bistro introduction" If frame limiter is on, no such issue. Once it goes into game I tuned off frame limiter and it was smooth but have noticed a few issues. When sitting still on the moped at the start, Tommy will move from side to side violently. It's actually quite funny when done to the beat of Billie Jean ![]() Also flashing compass and some textures flashing. 2ND EDIT - All problems are fixed when running with frame limiter enabled but the framerate is ass. Therefore I have a feeling running a 3rd party Vsync App like D3DOverrider should sort this whilst giving a smooth framerate. Just stepped into the malibu club for the first time in years and pissed myself laughing at "The Village people lookalikes band"

I picked up the episodes, been waiting for them to finally put them up by themselves since I bought GTA IV on Steam quite a while ago. And every deal they have had since then was for GTA IV complete which it told me I owned, which I didn't.

I don't know if this has been mentioned but the Humble Bundle is an awesome "sale" going on by Frozenbyte. You pay whatever you want (literally) for these games:
Trine Shadowgrounds Shadowgrounds: Survivor Splot Jack Claw (cancelled game that is now open source) They're DRM free and to be quite honest I got mine mainly for Trine. I'm not gonna say how much I paid but I think it's well worth it because you can decide how much goes to charity. http://www.humblebundle.com/

we'll see how I feel tonight. I mean sure it's a great benchmark game but when you've picked up the entire gta series for near the same price it just doesn't feel the same. Besides I need to save my cash for portal 2, shogun tw, and starcraft 2. stupid 50$ games.

Thing is like all games people keep demanding more and more details so what was a already a very CPU demanding game has never stopped being so. I play it mainly at very high details at 4k viewing distance. Just post-processing i have off as i hate it and use 2AA which i think i could get 4AA but not properly tested that and 2 AA is enough for me anyways @ 1920\1080. However i have always said it and still think it you either love the game or hate it. I love it as no other game comes even close to it. post-processing is annoying so better off than on anyways. |

+1 to turning off or lowering post processing, also run low AA. I run 1920x1080 just fine with mostly hi, some very hi settings, I keep view distance at around 7000m iirc. There were some huge updates in recent months that seemed to help a bit. This is a sweet title, and in a large aspect is an amazingly complicated fps/rts/milsim hybrid. It's fun with a few friends online, but it does take paticence and has a very steep initial learning curve. This title has it's quirks, but it's also a riot once you get things figured out, start executing larger scale attacks with AI squads by your side. There's also a ton of mods for this game, Bohemia Interactive might not have a perfect game but imho it's one of the better true PC titles I've played in recent years.
