Guest Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 (edited) Like with everyone (i think), gta vc crashes a lot. This doesn't really bother me, but my problem is, that about one in four times i am not able to alt tab back in to windows, and am eventually forced to push the reset button on my pc. Isn't there a program that automaticly "catches" a freezing program, and then closes it for you? I vaguely remember i had a program like that. Microsoft Office XP has a program that does this when Word crashes for example. I hope someone recognizes this problem and maybe even has a solution! thanx! Edited August 17, 2003 by Guest
Black Dragon Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 hmm... im not alt+tabbing, i just hit "esc" several times, and it comes back to Win XP.
tarrant_ino Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 i have the same problem with xp ... when i was using win2000 you could always alt tab out when an unhandled exception error occured but with xp it seems to work approx 60% of the time.. i have read somewhere else on this forum that hitting enter a few times will close vc down ?
Si|ent Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 I run windows 2000 pro, usually it drops to desktop and i get to click 'ok' on the UE error, then have to click cancel quickly on the 'windows is debugging' (DR Watson) thing, occasionally though that damn thing starts up before i am back at desktop and i have to wait for it to finish (2 or 3 minutes) before i can continue or restart, perhaps somethig like this is happening to you, although im not sure if the Dr Watson debugger is also in windowsXP as i detested that OS so much i went straight back to windows2000.
Guest Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 I tried it with hitting escape a few times. Yesterday this worked for me, and now it doesn't (???) I'll try hitting enter the time. Isn't there a way this problem could be handled with by MTA? eg. MTA closes GTA VC automaticaly if there is an anhandled exception? Any more ideas?
green1152 Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 it happens to me 2 out of 4 times with xp. I end up using all of those close program commands and end up closing every single thing in the background . But I usually have to reset my comp.
Guest Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 i have Windows XP and I just Alt+Ctrl+Delete. You gotta do it pretty quick after the crash (at least for me) otherwise it doesnt work.
raiden Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Generally the same with me. I hate it when my computer locks up though.
Guest Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Like with everyone (i think), gta vc crashes a lot. Myself and two friends were playing on my server, we didn't crash once. Unless we did something that wasn't synchronised. Like shooting from the hunter, drive by shooting, or if someone used a trainer just to test it. Else it's solid.... unsupported features should be disabled, somehow and trainers banned.
t0y Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 yo wat up stanto, dis evO remember we raced and i popped out yo tires
tjaisv Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 Well it bothers me, MTA VC crashes on every time I play it. Yeah I've followed all the suggestions in this forum but still, no luck. Hopefully later versions will fix this crash issue, whatever is causing it.
Guest Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 yo wat up stanto, dis evO remember we raced and i popped out yo tires And I'm still certain that the crashing's caused by using/doing things which aren't synched yet.
Guest Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 I see more people have the same problem, namely recovering after a crash. As it is know to everybody that crashing with this game is all part of the game and everybody encounters it at one time or another whilst playing summerizeing the sugestions given so far: 1. Don't user Alt + Tab 2. Hit escape a few times 3. Hit enter a few times 4. Use Alt + Control +Delete what works best for you guys, or is there anybody who has better idea's. And still I think it would be cool if the MTA console itself deals with this problem (like auto close on crash) This must be possible, bearing in mind the other much more sophistecated program alterations you guys made. If it's a time question, that's logical. But for me it seems like an easy way to make playing this sometimes buggy beta more enjoyable to play. Thanx!
