This is an excellent example why I simply dont' post on these forums anymore and why I rarely even come to view them. Also why MTA:VC is something I barely play now. (I'm hoping the new GTA3:MTA will bring the game back to life for me) I just can't stand the pathetic immaturity of these people. Its just too pathetic and annoying. I can't tolerate it anymore.

Hey leave me out of this!

IT says DVD because GTA:VC was ported to the PC from the PS2 console. The PS2 uses DVDs not CDs. If it can't read from the DVD then it would stop the game and display that message. I guess it's just something left over in the game from when they ported it over. For the PS2 it would read the files off the DVD, for the PC it reads the files off the harddrive. It can't find the required file(s) on your harddrive so it displays that message. They just never changed it for the PC. That's all. Re install the game like suggested. That should fix the problem. Unless your CD is damaged and its not installing the game properly.

I said that in the first line right above you.

No offence but you did seem to know what you were talking about. However using only 5-7kbits is not realistic. At most we are talkinga bout 900 bytes. That aint gonna happen. Then you make that comment above. Makes you look like a pathetic brat.

Now I know where it's coming from. From time to time playing MTA i'd come across money on the ground. I never knew where it was coming from but now I do.

I never noticed this bug at all until I started using MTA:VC. I've noticed it in all version of MTA but never had it happen in VC alone. I think it has something to do with passing through textures/walls that you shoudlnt' be able to pass through. I've had it happen a number of times when taking jumps. Hit the wall of a building too hard and you go right through it and appear out side that coffee shop in little havana. Freaky and weird little bug.... also very annoying at times.

I'd possibly like to see Military or Army as well.... whatever they are called. Yes it can be argued they are all law enforment so why not make it a sub-class.

Okay... not to sound like an ass or anything but you're asking how to setup your own server. Thi makes you look lazy stupid and incompetent. Not only is it very simple to do but it is also outlined in the manual for all to see. Also, you question you asked shows how lazy stupid or incompetent you are because you didnt' even bother looking in the manual or using the search button. If you had looked in the manual you wouldn't have asked that question and if you had used the search button you would have found other threads saying the same thing... "READ THE MANUAL" To read the manual CLICK HERE.

It's called lag. Also, MTA is very buggy. There are times a car maybe there for you but not for others. WHen this happens the car for the other person or persons could be in a ditch somewhere on a road not being used or even being driven by someone.

That is reason enough to not touch anything. Go get daddy or mommy or your dog or something. LOL Don't play around with something you're not familiar with. You could expose your computer/network to online threats and that will not be a good thing.

You've obviously never played singleplayer fully. It's great driving around drunk in the game. Your vision is all messed up, the screen moves without you moving, your controls are all messed up. WHen I'm on a Stunt server all I do is drive around drunk. LOL

I think the real question is why the hell does someone buy an Emachine. LOL I dont' know why you wont' upgrade the OS on that computer. Install Win2000 and it will run fine. It will probably run better with Win2000 on there than Win98.

You shouldn't set anything into compatibility mode unless you have to and in most cases you dont' have to. Best to just pretend that setting isnt' even there. Now, why do you want to deactivate that mode? Why is it enabled? If it's enabled then you musty have set it that way. So, to deactivate it you do the exact same thing you did to enable it. If you dont' remember, Right-Click on the shortcut for the program and then click on PROPERTIES. Click on the COMPATIBILITY tab and at the top you should see RUN THIS PROGRAM IN COMPATIBILITY MODE FOR... with a check box beside it. UNCHECK the check box and click APPLY. If it is unchecked then leave it alone, compatibility mode is already disabled. There you go.

Yeah I found that too. AFter a little while the slightest bump will cause them to explode... sometimes in mid air on the first jump. It's like driving around sticks of TNT. No warning and then suddenly BOOM.

I think I know what you mean. I've had it happen. It's kinda like sudden non-stop major lag. It has only happened for me when driving fast down the road a someone jumps out of the car. Best thing I can suggest is if it doesn't stop after a second or two tell people to start exiting the car. It happened last night 4 times to me and a buddy on some server. I was driving and 3 times I had to jump out of the car to fix it, only once did it work when he, the passenger, jumped out.

MTA:VC crashing has always been an annoying little problem. I had been waiting for this update very much. I setup a Stunt server and a buddy and I went on and were trying it out. For the most part ir ran very well. I did however experience alot more crashes than I was expecting. Two of which I couldn't shut down the game for some reason... i had to restart my computer. I'm gonna try it out some more tomorrow. With any luck I wont' have any of these problems again. I'll let you know. Also I forgot to mention.... Occasionally I like to drive around and do stunts so this is cool I ALWAYS love driving around drunk.

Wow... who would have thought. Two people who may not have realized it but they just agreed with me. The whole point of this thread, the point I was tryhign to make, Helicopter blades are annoying. I'll say it one more time, getting out of a chopper or having your chopper jacked and then getting your head cut off is annoying. People using the chopper to kill with the blades can be annoying when that's all they do. But they can be dodged or shoot down. You can't do anyhing about it when you are a passenger in the chopper except sit there and wait. And while you do that someone can blow it up.

I liked GTA3 and I loved GTA:VC. Only problem is you go back and play GTA3 and theres things which it doesn't have that make GTA:VC so much more enjoyable. Bikes, Helicopters, wheels getting shot, and more which I can't actually think of right now cause it's 4 in the morning here. If it's not possible to do then it's not possible but I'd love the ability to basically run around in Liberty City with choppers and bikes in MP and would love even more for them both to be in one game under MP. But if it can't happen then oh well.

Okay... I know it's possible in some way. I came across Grand Theft Auto World Online. From what I can tell is it's Liberty City and Vice City all together in GTA:VC with new missions and multiplayer. Now... I like MTA and I'm not really looking to install another mod or anything like that. Is there anyway to just get a hold of Liberty City maps which have been converted to GTA:VC?

You might also want to check your Video Options in the game. The option I believe it is called Frame Limiter... or something like that. Default setting is ON. It sounds like it is soimething that will be benefitial if you turn it off to get higher frame rates and it does do this. However I found that it does so by not loading textures as quickly. Resulting in what you are seeing in the game. It's better to keep it on. It runs juts as well with it ON anyway... unless your PC can't handle the video requirements.

I hear the choppers. The only time I don't hear them or I'm not paying enough attention to the game to hear them is when i'm concentrating on killing someone and dodging bullets. There are times, rare ones but they ahppen, when we are fighting and someoen in a chopper will come flying in real quick from up a street. Don't hear them coming or see them coming until it's too late I said this earlier. I dont' know why people keep asking the same questions. I've already said it in an earlier post.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but isn't all this in the damned manual.

I know. I didn't mean to sound like I thought you did but with all the people on these forums making stupid posts calling anyone that has a question a noob I thought I'd point out that I aint a noob before it was said. I usually use the guns to kill. Jump out of a car, gun them down, etc. I have my own server I run from time to time. But usually not often. kong.servegame.com If it can't be done then I guess it can't be done. My problem is not so much that I hate chopper blades as much as it's more an annoyance. Most of the time it doesn't happen or if it does I avoid it and shoot them down. What I really hate are the people who take advantage of it and that's all they do but normally if it's a major problem I just go grab the hunter and chase them. It's pathetic how people freak out when you're driving that thing. They all think the weapons work. LOL

I know how to dodge choppers. And for anyone who plans on mentioning it I also know how to shoot down choppers. When you're in a shoot out with a number of people and all you can hear are guns, explosions and the odd car it's hard to pay enough attention to look for choppers and it can be hard to hear them when all that noise. If you can manage all that then good for you. I think it would be a good idea to do something about the blades. Plain and simple. And no matter what you say I'm not a "noob" who can't play. It's not often I come across people like this anymore but when it does happen it's annoying as hell and ussually cause they are annoyed of me killing them. LOL
