The_Apprentlce Posted September 27, 2003 Author Posted September 27, 2003 Still, I think it would be much simpler if the team could develop a new patch for the Australian copy of the game. However, this is probably way out of the equation.
slush Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 The dll relies on checking specific data in the gta-vc.exe executable in order to automatically detect and use the correct memory addresses to interface the game. I was not aware that there was a separate executable for australians. In order to work out a fix i'd need to pull information out of the 1.0 and 1.1 australian executables. -Derek aka slush
The_Apprentlce Posted September 27, 2003 Author Posted September 27, 2003 You make it sound easy! Does this mean that a sepearate patch for Australians is, indeed, a possibility?
Aetius010 Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 There isn't a 1.1 Australian executible, 1.1 is incompatible with Australian version. I really do hope a fix will be available sometime soon, as I really want to play MTA!!!
Cray Posted September 28, 2003 Posted September 28, 2003 Alright, we are going to try and debug the australian exe, but we need a copy of it. Can someone that is having this problem zip up there exe and send it to [email protected] ? In the email, please state what language you have, whether it actually is the australian version or not and we will start to look at it and see what is actually happening. I will reply here once I receive an email.
Cray Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 Alright, thanks. We will be looking into this and if we need anything further we will let you guys know via this thread. Thanks again.
Guest Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 G'day (just assusring u I have the aussie version of VC ) hey can a moderator (cray?) make a new thread (is that the term, or is it topic, go n00bs!) in the bugs section (thats a thread isnt it ). cause we need a central talking place for australians, as now suggestions and complaints are spread across many topics). Oh, and I finally realised why 1.1 patch didnt work, whover sad that
Cray Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 First off, we will be releasing a .AU Patch within a few minutes that will replace the DLL that you have downloaded with the original installation. It should allow for .AU users to use MTA, lets hope. Second, I will move this thread to the Problems and Bugs forum, which is where it should actually be.
Aetius010 Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 I download the Patch, Installed it..Pressed Start Game on a Server..It loaded without the "Failure Detecting Version" Error...But just before Rockstar Screen, I got an Unhandled Exception .. Unhandled Exception: c0000005 At Address: 004abd1c
Cray Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 Alright, check the Problems & Bugs forum for a Unhandled Exception on Start Game. You are now experiencing a different problem, which you should be able to solve by reading that thread.
The_Apprentlce Posted September 30, 2003 Author Posted September 30, 2003 Hmm, for some reason my ASE will not install... it keeps telling me to try again later for it could not connect to the server. Oh well, I will try again tomorrow.
Aetius010 Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 Alright, check the Problems & Bugs forum for a Unhandled Exception on Start Game.You are now experiencing a different problem, which you should be able to solve by reading that thread. I tried all of those possible Fixes, that were in that Thread, none of them worked! I don't know where it Situates, but I know that it's not a different Problem. I also received this Error Message after the Exception. I Use Orignal exe. Not a Nocd Crack! I'll wait and see if any other people are experiencing this.
slush Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 that tells me then that the australian executable is structurally different than the regular executables. It will be hard to formulate a fix for that. -Derek
Cray Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 I have the executable here, so if I can find some time tonight I will do some memory scanning on it to see if any differences do exist.
The_Apprentlce Posted October 1, 2003 Author Posted October 1, 2003 Yes, I also receive the Unhandled Exception error after starting a new game. None of the suggested fixes seem to work, either.
Cray Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 From my initial testing (5 minutes tonight), it seems that the memory is once again different in this version of the exe (which means a lot of memory searching on our parts). For my own interests, is this 1.0 or 1.1? It definitely seems like a cracked version, but what version of the game I must ask ....
The_Apprentlce Posted October 1, 2003 Author Posted October 1, 2003 This is the retail version of Vice City. I have not used any cracks on it of any sort. How do I tell which version (1.0 or 1.1) I have?
Aetius010 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 It's a modified 1.0. When I tryed to Install 1.1, it said, "this program cannot update the installed version of Gta:ViceCity because of the following reason: gta-vc.exe: unknown version. I have no idea what's different in the Australian Game of VC. I know in the Australian version of GTA III, your not allowed to pick up Prostitutes. But Changing the Regional Settings to US, some people said that it enabled Prostitutes, (I haven't tryed personally), Does VC have that? Other things must of been been changed, though it's a mystery of what?
Aetius010 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) Hmm. Well a noCD [patch i shouldnt have - xerox], appears to work with the .AU patch, to some extent. Alot of problems! Many Exceptions at different locations. Very Random. other problems. Could there be a way to create a Patch that actually fixes the problem with the Original exe, because it kind of works with the noCD exe. Weird Edited October 1, 2003 by Guest
Aetius010 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 check the news - a patch for this is out Yeah, I have it, it didn't fix the problem with the Original exe, Check page 3...
The_Apprentlce Posted October 1, 2003 Author Posted October 1, 2003 I have the same problem, the patch now results in the Unhandled Exception error.
