subdcon Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 how come my game nearly always crashes when im going over the bridge from the robbers house at prawn island towards ammo nation....some servers this dosent happen, but on others it happens repeatedly....it seems to be the only place i have a real problem with. sometimes i can get around the problem by going in the other direction towards the beach....but that means driving all the way across the other side? does anyone else experience this?

Slothman Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 is this in a heli? or just always? i find that if i look backward while crossing bridges, it loads faster, and i dont crash as much. Link to comment
subdcon Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 this is usally in bike or car and it also happpens in heli.... i have found if i can pic up speed fast enough on the bike, it sometimes helps.... Link to comment
Dgtadude Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Re-install VC . Once i coun't change cities ... i tried and tried but it always crashed (this also happened in SP) so i reinstalled VC and it worked ... Link to comment
Icy_Flare Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Ye reinstall VC its the best way also maybe its ur computer stats.........not sure. Try a no-cd it may work better. Link to comment

eAi Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 We don't condone the discussion of illegal software. Lets stop now eAi Link to comment
Dgtadude Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Ye . eAi's right . jus try reinstalling VC and i belive that would fix the prob Link to comment
OpiuM. Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 is the no-cd crack illegal if u have VC? i mean, there is no illegal otherwise unavailable software on it. Link to comment
dystopia Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Theoretically yes, it has been modified from it's original form, making it illegal. Link to comment
OpiuM. Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 o i c, then we must stop talking about it Link to comment
trx Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 (edited) Ontopic: It happens to me as well. More often on my slower computer than on my faster one, so my guess is that it's related to computer or graphics card speed. The 'look behind' tip seems worth experimenting with if you have this problem a lot. Looking behind you, you will see terrain which was already in memory, thus making the change to the other map would theoretically reduce the cpu load. Keep us posted if you think this helps or not, so we can keep this factor in mind for further development. edit: You may want to lower draw distance, and see if that helps. As far as I know, this setting only affects the map drawing, so it wouldn't give other players too much advantage. Edited May 9, 2004 by Guest Link to comment
Oli Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 yeah in my experience with this prob its to do with the speed of things loading... ull find it happens much more often when mtama is running on a server for example... Link to comment
subdcon Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 the looking behind thing seems to be helping....but of course the odd crash is still expected....but the strange thing is, its only that bridge on prawn island and in that direction towards ammo nation.... i have no problems with any other bridge crossing...... once i have made that first crossing, i seem to be able to cross it as many times as i like with out a problem, so its the only first crossing of the game as i spawn from the robber location.

TempEcho Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 when a game craches usaly this helps: 1.update your video card drivers 2.download the latest updates from Windows Update (especialy DirectX 9)3.reinstall MTA VC 4.reinstall GTA Vice City do you have this in singleplayer too?
