So, I started up GTA:VC one day and the names were like that. And now I am unable to start the game without resetting the game paths every time. Reinstalling MTA did not help. Reinstalling Vice City fixed the problem for one game. Quitting and starting it again, I had to start with the resetting and the names were like that again. Help is appreciated.

EDIT: Now it got even worse. I can't even to go to the main menu, and I didn't change anything

BUMP - No-one really has a clue. I now tried switching Vice City versions, downloaded 1.1 and tried with it. The problem is STILL there.

Did you change anything on your PC before this started happening?

Try updating/downgrading video card drivers.

Nope, I didn't change anything and I'm sure of that because only a couple of hours before this started I was able to play normally. Mmm drivers, why should they become a problem, if the game has ran perfectly on those for a long time,,,

Ive only suffered from this once and a restart solved it

Okay I figured out what caused this. I just have to turn off xfire while playing. As long as this isn't running these problems don't occure.

MTA doesn't even work while Xfire is running, so you must have been doing something bad.

Well it starts up if you persist on resetting the game path and restarting client, in my case it did like once out of 7 times and then with the weird names. Mostly it crashed on main menu, yeah.
