Guest Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hi! This really starts to be annoying!I have a P3,0 , 1GB Ram, Ati Radeon 9800XXL, the GTA VC-Original English Version (1.0) and language on english! First Problem was an unhandled exception error, but i fixed it by copying the gxt. Files from "Text" to "MTA" in the original VC folder! But now... NEW problem, and i cant find a topic for that! Now i can start the client, the Rockstar Logo comes, then i can press "start game", then "new game"! And then the game is loaded, i can see the town from above (sideview), the houses start to appear... and then everything freezes (messagebox does also appear if activated). Nothing more happens, and i tried it OFTEN! What the hell is the problem here!? What can i trie to do!? HELP!!!!! Link to comment
Trust Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Does it say in the menu 'start multi theft auto' after u chose start game, or does it say 'new game' (together with 'load game' and all...)? If it says 'new game' and not 'start multi theft auto' u installed MTA wrong/in the wrong folder, reinstall in the correct folder. If not I don't know what might cause this. Link to comment
NosGoth Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Even though you have it on 1.0 I'd try it on 1.1 This is often the problem. I understand you didn't installed 1.1 but you can still give it a try. If this doesn't work I don't know what is happening. Maybe you have mods of some kind. Try re-installing Vice and hope for the best. Good luck. Link to comment
Guest Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 @ Trust: Very good, new Information !!!! It says "new game", not "start multi..."! BUT where is the "right" folder!? As i am from germany i installed it under "C:/Programme/Rockstar Games/Gta Vice City or quite similar! So is the Gta folder wrong or what!? Could you guys give me the right install-adress?

Morgage Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 No we cant. You have to lead the installer to the right place, and we dont know where you installed it to, Link to comment
Trust Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 it is the same folder as where the gta-vc.exe is located, so in the installer, go find gta-vc.exe (while browsing to the correct folder) and when you found it, just copy the folder in which it was found (like C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City). It should be working then... Link to comment
trx Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 It says "new game", not "start multi..." That's because you overwrote our mta american.gxt with the original one. Link to comment
Guest Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Wow, thanks to you guys! I reinstalled MTA, and though the install-path is the same as before, now it works! May have to do with the american.gtx.! Great idea, to make this Mod!! One question, wouldnt it have been funny to keep the town "alive" with all the bots from the singleplayer game, or isnt that possible in an online gta!?? Link to comment
Guest Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 hi guys, I got the same problems like lonegunman, and it didn't work with the solutions you wrote! What could I Do? Is there anything other I must look for? For your Information: I got the German original version of the game and patched it with the german 1.1 patch. I got MTA VC with version 0.4.1 My VC is installed in D:\Spiele\Action & Adventure\GTA Vice City an MTa is installed in D:\Spiele\Action & Adventure\GTA Vice City\Multi Theft Auto ! Can you help me further??? Thx for help, Link to comment
orappa Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 The German version of VC was censored, so the exe file was changed. This causes problems with MTA. The only way to fix it at the moment is to obtain an English uncensored exe file (and no, we can't tell you where). Link to comment
Guest Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Though I need an English exe-file now, great thxs to you !!! Edit: hmm, you were right !!!! I can't find any original english version of gta-vc.exe! I Know this must be a strane question, but could anybody send me his original and english gta-vc.exe, plz ??? PLZZZZ PLZZZZ PLZZZ PLZZZZ My E-Mail Adress is [email protected] and my ICQ is 303-243-465 !!! Link to comment
NosGoth Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Buy Vice City over the internet. We cannot/may not/will not send it to you. Sorry. Link to comment
Scorp Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Buy Vice City over the internet. We cannot/may not/will not send it to you.Sorry. hmm i have forgot.. but can't u select english language under install? i remember i could, or is the censored german exe file there even tho u select english language? bah just thought about it, its censored anyways cause Germany is always sensitive about "gore" in games Weitschinken_eins u better buy a copy over the web, so u can get around ur country's laws Link to comment
orappa Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 One question: I know this is a low priority, but has such incompatibility been resolved (or at least researched) with Blue? Link to comment
Scorp Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 One question: I know this is a low priority, but has such incompatibility been resolved (or at least researched) with Blue? well gaining the combatiblity with foreign GTA versions could draw that extra more people to MTA, it would be a plus+ for the community, but can it be done? maybe getting the installer to replace the exe with a working one, I believe that was discussed before tho, and it basicly involved modding GTA.. so it would be a break on GTA's copyright, tabu whatever.. edit: hmm did this guy get his problem solved? /me doubts he'll be buying a new (uncensored, english) copy of VC with combatiblity to MTA... well I sure as hell would, but here they dont censor the so called "gore" out... thank god!

SM xenex Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Well to my knowledge mta would be cappable of supporrting more languages, only thing that would have to be done is translate some text to whatever lanaguage is needed and voila . The things needing change would be the .gxt's and the client a bit to show the text that apears in it in that specific language and some other small parts, but for the censored version of gta ie australian and german (maybe otherstoo) that woudnt help i think since the problem does not lie in the game text , which could easily be change, but in the .exe , and if mta did offer a working .exe it could be considered illegal as we have no way to know if a person has the game legit.
