The Official GTA Vice City PC Thread


Recommended Posts

I'm not going to rush for this.

I am still fuming about the pile of steaming cack that is the regular GTA III for the PC. Yes, the actual game is superb.. but after trying it on a number of different PC's, the bugs & performance issues drove me nuts.

Is there still only one single patch (I use the term 'patch' loosely btw) available for GTA III?

Good call with this thread.

I cant wait for this game. I am really against consoles as I can never fully control them. I dont like using controllers. I like the keyboard much more, so when I played Vice City on PS2, I saw an incredibly potential for PC, and now the time is finally arriving. The first one was so good. Now I have to reinstall it just to get ready for Vice City! The mod community is going to make Vice City awesome, I think. With all the new things like flyable helicopters and driveable motorcycles, the mods should be pretty nice. I cant wait.

I love PS2 control! Whats wrong with it? I know i know! Keyboard and Mouse have more buttons but still, PS2 controller is the best pad ever. Oh yes, in this game u can buy building to save game, how i love that too!

Its mostly that I never use it since I dont own one, so starting to use it for a game that I really want to play is hard and it makes me hate the game in the process, which is kinda unfair, but whatever. So I dont hate the controller, Im just not used to it. :)

Dreamcast by far had the best controller. Maybe some more buttons or something, but the feel of holding it was the best.

I prefer the xbox's, it's like a DC pad crossed with a PS2/Gamecube one imho.

I do like the cube's best for games that don't require precise aiming though (the c-stick really isn't any good for that sort of thing in my experiences with it)

So what are the minimum reqs for GTA VC? I've heard anywhere from a PIII 700 up to a PIII 1.13Ghz. Anyone know? Also, I've heard rumor of Multiplayer VC. Is there any validity. I've played the Multi-Player GTA III and it's awesome but I still want a fully supported MP. Also, are they going to include the MP3 folder again? I loved that. Way better than the crack music in the game. Also, I hope they support EAX 3 in it becuase by the time the game gets here I'll have my new Audigy EX and my 6.1 Surround Speakers and I want the full use of them. I will say this though, the Snd. Track for GTA VC is awesome. Sorry, I grew up in the 80's so it'll take me back.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
