orappa Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Yeah, I get that all the time. Click Reset Game Path and the click Connect. A browse dialog will show, and you browse to your VC executable. Assuming that you have installed it to the default location, it should be: C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\gta-vc.exe Link to comment
+FKU+VVolven Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I seem to look this up almost bi-weekly, and never for myself. Anyway, what Jon said will work, but it has to be done each time you start MTA. Here's the permanent fix: If you have Error 'mta_dll.dll' cound not be located, and are very sure you set the right directory, you may want to do this: Open up C:\windows\mta.ini Now add this line at the end of the file: [game-exe] location=Path\to\gta-vc.exe Remember to change the "Path\to\gta-vc.exe" to the acual location. Most people do not see this because the older MTA versions added this line for you. But for first time users, people who reformatted their pcs, or who delete their mta.ini may experience this problem. Happy gaming! Link to comment
orappa Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Oh, I didn't know that. I just put up with it. Will this be fixed in future versions? Link to comment
Si|ent Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Yes, this was just an issue with 0.3r2 caused when people had had no previous version of mta installed. Link to comment
OpiuM. Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Yeah, I get that all the time. Click Reset Game Path and the click Connect. A browse dialog will show, and you browse to your VC executable. Assuming that you have installed it to the default location, it should be: C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\gta-vc.exe he means click the start game button, not connect button Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Oh, I didn't know that. I just put up with it. Will this be fixed in future versions? You're a bum if you dealt with that error for months, fixing it everytime you play! Link to comment

Guardians Proper Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Open mta.ini in your Windows folder. Make sure you see something like this: [game-vc]location=D:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\gta-vc.exe [game-exe] location=D:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\gta-vc.exe Adjust the Location part as necessary.
