Game always crashing

[Guest]

My game keeps crashing when I load it up. At the screen where you pick your guy all I hear is a ping and it freezes. Anyone have any help?

Next time try a search button. *from what I hear they do great things.*

Anyways, you need to tell us a little information in order for us to help you out.

Ex: What Operating System do you run? What Version of GTA:VC u running, 1.0 or 1.1? Have you read the manual? (for mta .2.2)

Do you have any files modded? Is your copy of Vice City lagiminiate? & can you make good dinners because I am hungry!

If you could please just answer these questions or maybe some more to give us a little more help on finding your problem.

Thanks I read that thing and it doesn't have the answer to another problem I have. When I start up the game I'm able to play for a few seconds then I'm able to play but everyone else is frozen andI can't play

When everyone freezes is when you get disconnected from the server, you could still play(alone) ,ok this problem is caused by a firewall and/or router make sure the ports that that server uses are fowarded,(mostly use 2003)

Is there a way to stop this?

Thats your solution right there, foward the ports that are used by the server ( mostly 2003)
