Guest Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Hi! I'm playing with Vice City 1.0, no MODs installed. Tried to play today, and went ok. After a few Minutes of playing i recognized an arrow on the Map.. there's a pink circle in the Pizzeria south of the starting point. Every time i try to approach the Circle the Game freezes. I didn't find anything about this arrow, what is the meaning or what should happen there? Intended or just a "glitch"? Link to comment
Scorpion_Blood Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 i think u mean the help area if is that forget it, it only says that when u are in a vehicle and shoot to a person that thing dont work , hunter same Link to comment
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted August 17, 2003 MTA Team Share Posted August 17, 2003 it is the ingame help which you get told about by the start of a game, but it shouldn't crash Link to comment
Jamie2 Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 done it to me at first but then it worked again few hours later Link to comment
Guest Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Oops.. i meant NORTH of Starting Point.. tried it again, still crashes. Shortcuts to Dirt Ring works. But if it's only the Help area, i can live with it .. er, without it.. Thx! Link to comment
Gussi Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 My friends had that problem too, try going in the circle on a bike, pcj would be good, try it Link to comment
trx Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 That's odd. It *shouldn't* crash, but I guess it does for some people. If the people who have had this crash would be so kind to tell me what resolution they are playing on, what video card they use, I might be able to simulate the crash and find a cure for it. I think it might be the backgrounds for the text (they grey transparent line). None of the Devs have this problem, so what I could do, is send test-scm's to people who have this problem, so I can find out when it will be running stable. It may not sound important to have a help area, but we intend to use similar text drawing on screen at several places, so a fix will be needed, or some people will not be able to play at all.

Guest Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Grrrr Found a Solution: >> Play with English language. I play with the Bloodpatch, and used German (yes, i copied the german.gxt to the MTA folder) so it seems to be the same freeze i encounter if i enter the Firetruck (although i got rid of this one in the normal Game) Link to comment
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted August 18, 2003 MTA Team Share Posted August 18, 2003 Well, that is normal i guess, that gxt file does not contain the neccesary data for the help area Link to comment
NosGoth Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Then now we know the solution if anyone else encounters the same problem. But I think you guy's already understood that one. Link to comment
Posty Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I can't even go into the help area. It freezes every time. And yes, I do use the english version. I have tried on foo, in car, and on motorcycle. It crashes every time. I got it to work once, but then a few seconds after that ot crashed. I prolly have a weird bug. Link to comment
