can any1 help

[l2ebel]

well if a game needs dx 9.0 than you WILL need to install it somehow, are your video drivers and all the gfx stuff up to date?

some pc specs wouldnt be bad i think

[Scorp]

Yeah that sound like a driver issue.

DX 9.0 should be certified working; get it here

You probably got either a nVidia or ATI video driver.

Get the latest versions here:

What do you mean when you say that Vice City is 'downloaded' in the topic title?

i got a radeon 9000 what update should i install on it and i just wanna play MTA and ive played vice city be4 so i dont know what the problem is except it keeps saying directx 9.0 hasnt passed the windows logo testing even though my computer is legit

[Scorp]

Well, then the latest ATI driver for you would be 5.2 Catalyst

but that still won't sort the directx 9 issue, can't you just say ignore to the unsigned WHQL? or is it your OS that won't accept the directX update?

[[UVA]BuLLiT]

it keeps saying that it hasnt passed the windows logo testing and the same goes for the new mediaplayer even though i have used it before i had to do a system recovery on my computer and lost all my data and iam up do only direct x 8.1

[orappa]

But DirectX doesn't use WHQL signatures as far as I'm aware. Aren't they only used for drivers? Also, even if it comes up with that message, you can still continue and 9 times out of 10 you won't have any major issues.

well it finishes installing but i lost the second cd and i put the crack not to play the cd and it worked but i think it still needs direct x 9.0

[orappa]

So what exactly happens when you try to run Vice City single player? What are the error messages?

well it finishes installing but i lost the second cd and i put the crack not to play the cd and it worked but i think it still needs direct x 9.0

You need to second CD to install the radio files, otherwise with a noCD crack it wont run afaik, i tried not installing them on my pc once an it wouldnt run.

OR you could find some replacment radio files which are empty.

ok i lost the second cd so when i open vice city it asks for the second cd but i dont have it cause i misplaced it(lost it), so i get the crack for the second cd and input it in to the data file of VC and that works but i sstill cant play vice city, so i get the crack for the second cd and that dont work cause it says error and i need to reinstall vice cit, which is annoying so what do i do!!!!

[orappa]

We shouldn't really talk about this kind of thing, but in order to get a crack working, you need to copy all of the audio files on CD 2 to the Vice City\Audio folder.

I'm sure you could borrow it off a friend or buy a version cheaply off eBay.

i had the legit thing iam not gonna go out and buy a new copy of VC, my dumb sister complains bout me leavin the CDs in the computer but i cant be bothered to take out and then on her birthday i was playin it and that was the last time i saw it in december, then i got broadband and couldnt wait 2 play MTA with a better connection and found out i lost the CD, and i just wanna know how i can play with out the second cd and i wont mention that way it will be known as 'bumhole'.

You need directx, at least directx 7 iirc (as that was the version at the release of VC)

[Scorp]

Minimum Hardware Requirements

800 MHz Intel Pentium III or 800 MHz AMD Athlon

or 1.2GHz Intel Celeron or 1.2 GHz AMD Duron processor

128 MB of RAM

8 speed CD / DVD drive

915 MB of free hard disk space

(+ 635 MB if video card does NOT support DirectX Texture

Compression)

32 MB video card with DirectX 9.0 compatible drivers

("GeForce" or better)

Sound Card with DirectX 9.0 compatible drivers

You'll undoubtly be needing DX 9 for it to run

If I recall correctly, VC for PC was released shortly after DirectX 9 was released but developers get access to the code months beforehand.
