What do you press to get out of GTAVC when GTA/MTA crashes?

[[KFC] El Burro]

I wondered wat would happen if i bashed my hed off the keyboard one day and i worked wonders... its totally true...

[[FBI]Mac-10]

i press escape 3 times it usually takes me to ASE, when it freezes before the game itself loads, like half the loading bar loads then freezes, then before i can reach for the lead pipe to smash the fuck outta my pc, i turn it off manually and take deep breaths. once i have gotta myself out of a murderous state, i turn the computer back on.

the most popular is Press/Mash the Enter Key but it doesnt work good for me :-/

[Dgtadude]

there are many ways of "lock up" here is a little list i made

*Major Lock Up - (no shortcuts will work)

*medium lock up - (sometimes shortcut keys work)

*Normal Lock Up - (alt+tabbling will do it )

A EASY way i made to get out of "Medium Lock Up" is to . Alt tab and hit enter a couple of times . then do it again . this will help when you get the unwanted expetion error and you cant move the mouse or see the warning to click . so when you alt tab . you will select it and hit enter .

Also if you have a sleep key on your keyboard it helps pressing it on "major lock up"

As blokker says before, tap it two times fast, then leave it be.

alt - F12 damn you all!!!! - that should be the command... I mean we gotta pay homage to the GTA:AM old school somehow! =)

I doubt there are many 'spam' posts of mine around death... bet you I can find more of yours =P

This thread truly is helpful. Now I don't even have to standby. Heres what I do now:

1. Make sure GTAVC is in the last spot in your task bar, meaning the very top position of the list in the control+alt+delete menu

2. Enter 2x and wait for it to exit

if not working

3. Make sure the cursor appears meaning you are controlling the desktop. If you don't see it, press standby button until you see the cursor. If you cannot you're just gonna have to standby. Anyhow, once you see the cursor control+alt+delete and tap up a bunch. alt+e and it will take you out. If not, control+alt+delete and alt+e again until it ends.

I used to press the windows key to get out, but on occasion it'd completely freeze and no combinations would work, I got annoyed with having to restart the comp, so one time I got some program that whenever I press 'numpad +', it'd force its way back to the desktop , works gud.

[Ransom]

where is this program? link?

it works for full screen windows. Evaluation is 14 days though

so if you find any other window minimizer tools, PM's to me (no spam though)

there was a great restart utility available for version 2.2. I was later discouraged because they wanted ppl to leave and re-enter the server if the game crashes, but noone ever did anyway.

This utlity would hop you back to the server if you were disconnected so you don't miss a beat in game and it would auto restart the game if it crashed so it didn't take much longer than getting killed does.

I miss that....

I hardly ever crashes for me but when it does it is a reboot most times

I mash the enter key then press escape, works like a charm

[TmM_Ryan]

left click then enter has always workd 4 me.

I try Enter a couple of times, then use Control + Alt + Delete -> G -> Tab -> Tab -> Space -> Space. This selects gta-vc.exe in the process list in the task manager, then two tabs takes you to the "End process button", first space gives you the "are you really sure?" box, and the final space selects yes. Obviously, this isn't required if you can get the task manager into focus.

Easy.

All I can say for you rebooters, is there IS a way to get out, no matter how locked up it seems

(That is if you have WINXP)

[Guest]

If it locks up and i just hear a beeping noise every time i press a button i hit alt-control-delete and the task manager pops up but i cant see it but its there. so i hit delete(because it is already selected on VC) Then i press enter and it ends the vice city task

Here's one that WILL work garenteed, ALT+ TAB, never fail's, it just minimises the screen to the tool bar and u can then right click and close VC, or if u just get disconnected, u can use it to log back in and then go back on and u will still play.

I just love this topic so much, dont ask why

[-SM-Bryce]

Lmao Ransom, I Have My Anti crash set up so that if it can't fix it, it just totally shuts it down and restarts it without me evan pressing a button.

[DeeJee.nl]

Like i said some where else..forgot wich thread.. I know gotta lay back ont he booze.

windowskey + L works for me all the time on heave crashes..

it alays brings back a controlable pc,

wich befire I login to I hit

ctr+alt+del wich will bring up the taskmanager once windows is logged in.

works for me all the time

and the "normal" crashes I get I just hit enter a couple of times..

Made me ban some people in the proces aswel .. having the admin tool last in my tray, means that is getting the input from me enter button if I hit it to many times..

[Kent747]

if enter enter doesn't work..

start - r - cmd - enter - alt+enter - alt+enter - exit

(the number of times you press 'r' could vary , just whatever you use to get to the run prompt.
