The Official GTA Vice City PC Thread


Recommended Posts

anyone have any luck playing this game with a logitech wingman cordless rumblepad?  can you guys post what controller you are using, and if it works well or not.  i just keep spinning in circles.... :(

If it's anything like the corded version, you need to set the throttle slider to dead center for it to stop.

On another note, does anyone find the RC helicopter mission damn near impossible to pass? I'm pulling my hair out.

i havn't tried it on pc yet, but u just have to start from the top and take it slow

and don't go down the stairs, theres gaps and stuff.

I played the game for like 4 hours yesterday and it's simply amazing. All the great cars you can steal, it's so much fun... you can even buy buildings (which is actually buying save point... but still).

The greatest vehicle is the Vespa scooter, that thing just rules!!! This game is so much fun, you gotta buy it! (or download it somewhere if you know where to find it....)

Oh and for the people concerned about performance, this is my pc:

AMD Athlon 1.2 Ghz

512mb PC133 RAM

40 Gb HD (7200rpm)

Via KT133a chipset

Gigabyte Radeon 9000 Pro

Creative SBLive! 1024 Player

The game runs EXTREMELY smooth in 1024x768@32bit with everything maxed out. So any pc with hardware better then this should do fine.

hi just for everyones info, Ive had the game a long time for ps2 .played and beat it many times. ONE BIG WORD OF ADVICE: Do not use cheats of any kind the game has been programmed in the code, and knows if you use cheats of any kind (yes even hex editors ) if you do , you will not get a 100% rating which unlockes other goodies I wont spoil for you .just a word of friendly advice is all.

Im on stuck on the mission where you have to control a mini helicopter and drop 4 bombs on a building site in 7mins. Its so hard to direct the helicopter aaah anyone got any tips on this bit?

Yeah that is the mission you get from that stupid cowboy... well I found that one hard too, so I skipped it for now. First did my missions with Cortez and Diaz. Still gotta do that mission though.

Anyone have advice how to do this.... that helicopter is so hard to control.

i found it easiest to drop off the bombs on the top level of the building first and work my way down floor by floor, that way you don't have to go past all the other levels when you are running out of time. Also look at the way the stairs are built, sometimes you can just go straight up skipping a level, rather than following the stairs, if you know what i mean. Those are the only tips that i've got, other than take the thing for a ride around town 1st to get used to flying it :)

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
    • I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
    • I have installed the debloated version of Windows 11 25H2 Pro. I obtained the apps from store.rg-adguard.net. The size of the Photos app window is quite problematic for me; it consistently displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resembling a movie theatre screen, and cant remeber its last size and position. The Snipping Tool cannot capture the taskbar. When I select "Window" in capture mode, it allows me to capture menus or individual windows, but I am unable to capture just the taskbar. This functionality was available in version 24! I am on the same version numbers (latesst).
    • I'm already seeing my steam library, still swallowing the 16 Gb of RAM, then looking at the SD storage expansion and saying "what?".
