has anyone else had this problem??

[Oli]

I was playing vc with a friend last night and he had the hunter heli. He said he was flying around in it but when i went passed the army base I saw it landed in the road outside the gate. I asked him if he was definately using it, and he said yes, so i tryed to get into it and when i did he died staight away.

Neither of us could figure out what was going on so i was wondering if this is a common bug or what

thanx

he is playing on windows XP with Win 98/Me compatibility mode, as said many times before : DO NOT US IT!

well he says that he isnt in compatablilty mode so what else do u think it could be??

[Gussi]

did he go in the hunter BEFORE you joined the game or after? he prolly got into the hunter before

[Blokker_1999]

it has to be, there r no other known causes

from the moment u enter a vehicle it gets synced

what about packet loss?

Having told merc about the causes for this pretty common happening it can now be found in his 'super faq'. Check the 'usefull' forum for details

what does this mean and how can u tell if u are doin this??

Windows XP has a compatibility mode. You can check if ít is activated by right clicking on the GTA-VC.EXE --> properties --> compatibility --> and then there is a box where you can choose Win 98, Win 2000 and so on...
