Problem with Vice City in General

Sometimes every so often, the game freezes for a few seconds and I hear the CD drive make a noise. Anyone know how to fix this?

Try a full install. this will pace the radio stations on your hard drive rather than forcing the game to read them from the CD. Its your CD Drive spinning up to speed that causes those microlags. Could also have success moving the CD to its own IDE so its master as i suspect u have it slaved to your primary Harddrive.

I'd agree, for those who don't, they could even use daemon tools to load up an iso they made of the second disc...waste of space i guess tho.

It makes you want to drink the sun

cd crack is also good, switching cds is such a hassle, also, cd cracks are not warez.
Techincally, they come under the term warez because they're illegal (modifying the exe is against the EULA). Concequently, MTA don't condone their use, though they don't actively try to prevent it.

Well it's a brand new comp and i'm only using 1/10th my harddrive. I'm using a DvD/cd-rom combo and have it on master seperate from my harddrive which is on the other IDE.

I'll see if a cd crack helps but shouldn't the game function properly without it? I also did the full install when I installed it and I have the latest patch.

No-cd cracks exist because of such reasons (and people who don't buy the game), but anyway, its because people either don't like switching cds, or have cd drives that can't cope with the speed, that no-cd patches exist.
