Fix For When Vice City No Longer Runs

:shock:

Sometimes GTA Vice City (either run alone or run from MTA) will no longer work on my XP machine. When you double click on the icon it thinks for about a second and then does nothing.

I found that I had to go into the Vice City directory of My Documents and delete the *.set file. After that I could run both Vice City standalone and the MTA VC (I reinstalled MAT VC but it should work without reinstalling)

*shrug*

Hum... Did you just ask a question that was not a question?

And yeah I think deleting that non-savegame file in the VC documents dir has been mentioned before, but it helps generally. Even when you're getting weird things in your SP saves.

i went from an Nvidia Geforce to an Ati Radeon, and VC wouldn't run anymore. removing that .set file helped. worked like a charm after that. 8)
