Cray Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 (edited) Alright, so, I wanted to make this official as so many people with foreign versions are experiencing it. Follows these steps exactly - Navigate Windows Explorer to the VC root directory and change into the TEXT directory. You should see a bunch of files, mainly with the .gxt extension. - Copy all of the files in this directory EXCEPT for american.gxt into the MTA directory (a sub-directory off of the VC root directory). Try again ... If this helps and you get in game, but then instantly seem to crash at the Player Selection Screen, try the following. - Navigate to the MTA directory of the VC root directory and delete the existing language.gxt file (such as spanish.gxt). - Make a copy of american.gxt. - Once copied, rename the copied american.gxt (which was bundled with the MTA:VC 0.2 program) to whatever your GTA:VC game is set to. So, if you have the game set to spanish, rename the copied american.gxt to spanish.gxt. Try again ... This seems to be helping quite a bit of people, so hope for the best If you are still crashing, please make sure that you have selected the correct game version within the Client. So, if you have GTA:VC 1.0 installed, make sure you select 1.0 in the Client. If you have GTA:VC 1.1, make sure you select 1.1 in the Client. Also, make sure the mta.scm and mtas.scm (0.2.2) exist within the data/ directory of your VC root. The mta_dll.dll file must exist within the VC root directory and if you wish to have any MTA keys bound within the game, config.cfg must also exist within the VC root directory.

Guest Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 what should i do when i use a crack? Link to comment
Pic0o Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 what should i do when i use a crack? You should use your CD's you Bought, but if you don't like having a disc in, get the game to run, and you should be fine. I will probaslly guess you should not ask for a No-Cd here Link to comment

Cray Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 At what point does it crash on your computer? Link to comment
Kent747 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 i can't use the original because my cd messed up, so what then? wow it seems to me 80% of the people who bought Vice City have a "messed up CD" come on guys, buy the game Kent Link to comment
SteadVéx Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 How does a cd become messed up anyways? i had a game before called screamer, that cd got scratched to hell and back, but crazily it still worked havent' had an original cd stop workign for me, i'll admit i've had copy of some things, and i can't say i know anyone who hasn't, and yes they generally stop working Link to comment
Guest Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Blah the game just still crashes all togther, whilest you play so yeah.... tis quite bothersome. Link to comment
Guest Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 So whats the big deal with ppl using nocd patches? Ive bought the game, but i dont like XP crashing all over me somethimes when the cdrom is spinning up and Gta game time-out. Nah really, its legal to use the no-cd "crack/patch" if you have bought the original software. Link to comment
Kent747 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 we understand fully the legality.. but right now we have to hack out hte memory locations for v. 1.0 and 1.1 for windows XP, and in the future we will have to hack out locations for 1.0 and 1.1 for windows 98... we aren't about to go through and hack out hte memory locations for all the noCD cracked versions as well... there's a lot of time involved in finding these memory addresses... as such, we aren't going to make it a point to support the noCD patches, however, we will not take any steps against htem Kent Link to comment
agrafuese Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Kent, could you please explain what that means? Because I'm not a programmer I use the no-cd crack and my game runs fine...of course there are some unhandled exception crashes once in a while, but for me it depends on the server I'm in... I have another reason to use a no-cd crack too...I like to hack the music files so that they're my own music and not the stupid VC radio stations. If I have the CD in, it bypasses what I have in my Audio directory and plays the radio stations off the CD. I could always turn the music volume all the way down, but I like to have music while I'm crushin heads!! Link to comment
Guest Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 How does a cd become messed up anyways? I have like 150 computer games so my CD's most likely get messed up from switching them. I have bought Half-Life like 3 TIMES! That is just one game. So now that I have found out about no-cd cracks I usually use them. I will admit I sometimes d-load games but I usually d-load really old ones that they do not sell anymore or that I can not find.... like the Fallout series which I bought but my Fallout 2 cd got messed up. I like to demo games before I buy them.... no use d-loading the game if I can not play it online so I usually buy it if I like it. As you can see I buy A LOT of games. I have also bought Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun 2 times and Diablo 2 times. lol Link to comment
Guest Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I have this exception too... I have two computer with Win2K SP4... On the first MTAVC v0.2 works perfectly... And on my second it crash... I delete my GTAVC dir and i copy it from my first computer... and and and... it crash too... On the second computer i launch the server too and maybe i think you can't run MTA client on the server... Link to comment
Guest Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Well, tbh i do have a copied version of vc but whats the big deal, its not like MTA is owned by rockstar is it? Link to comment
Guest Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 uhhh actually it's illegal to modify anyone else's programs unless they explicitely release the source code along with the right for you to do so. Link to comment
