Just go into the options screen, controls, and redefine, should give you a list of all the controls you can change.

I have a problem: GTA VC restarts my PC on random locations, while I'm driving... I have XP no sp1, G-FX 5200

I have a problem: GTA VC restarts my PC on random locations, while I'm driving... I have XP no sp1, G-FX 5200

The solutions I've seen to this of varying success include:

* Updating graphics drivers to latest stable version

* Changing the audio mode in GTA:VC's options menu, the hardware acceleration mode tends to cause a few crashing issues

When I had the problem (I'd get in cars and the game would stall but sound would carry on playing) I simply upgraded to the latest Catalyst drivers which were released shortly after GTA:VC, and the problem disappeared. You might notice it on the opening cutscene of the game, it gets to a scene where a group of SWAT people are about to swarm on the drug deal, then it just... freezes. With the latest Catalyst drivers this doesn't happen, so try upgrading to the latest Detonator drivers for your card?

Washington state bans sale of violent games to minors

:no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no:

Gary Locke, governor of the state of Washington in the USA, has signed into law a bill banning the sale of certain violent videogames to minors - including Enter the Matrix and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, both of which depict violence against law enforcement officials.

According to US law, a minor is anyone under the age of 17, so this isn't even on the same level as applying an 18 certificate to a videogame here in the UK (although admittedly a lot of UK retailers aren't exactly stringent in their enforcement of the age certificates on games).

However, the Interactive Digital Software Association has thrown all its toys out of the pram over this issue, with president Doug Lowenstein slamming the bill as "patently unconstitutional" and the organisation taking the state to court over the bill.

"We're confident that our position will be affirmed in court," according to Lowenstein, who goes on to criticise the state for diverting "critical funds" to defend the bill at a time when the state apparently faces a "massive budget deficit."

Obviously Lowenstein has the moral high ground here - after all, he's only using IDSA funds to defend the right of publishers to sell incredibly violent and mature content to children, which is clearly a far more worthwhile endeavour than a state attempting to protect kids from this kind of content without impairing the ability of adults to enjoy it.

With the industry apparently prepared to go to court in order to defend this "right", is it any wonder that politicians and many parents regard videogames as such a negative influence on society?

Washington state bans sale of violent games to minors

yeah this happened like last week didnt it? soooo lame but IMO itll get overturned soon enough.

[ToiletofSadness]

I have a problem: GTA VC restarts my PC on random locations, while I'm driving... I have XP no sp1, G-FX 5200

I'm pretty sure the problem here is that VC requires SP1 to be installed. So you'd be wise to do that.

[+Nik Louch Subscriber²]

VC certainly does require SP1, according to the manual.

[sssqqq]

yeah this happened like last week didnt it? soooo lame but IMO itll get overturned soon enough.

I might not be understanding the full story, but from what I can see (a brief glance) they're legally stopping miners buying the game. Well they work their asses off getting coal from underground, getting their faces dirty, carrying pick axes around... and that's how they repay them?

Oh... minors. Darn.

Well, yeah, I agree, minors shouldn't be allowed to play the game, let alone buy it. If the game is rated so that only those aged 17 or above should play it, then that should be the case.

[Bizkit]

Its ok for me, because I'm 19. If yall youngins want me to buy them for you, give me your address and money and i will mail it to you :devil:

[qdave]

whats the key for reloading weapon?

[g0xg0x]

Doesn't it auto-reload if you have extra clips...?

[adam2001]

I think its stupid Its a game christs sake, oh no ive shot a copper in the face with a sub machine gun ooooh loads of blood thats gonna make me go into the high street and start gunning ppl down

It is aaahhh (sarcasm)

What thick person thought of this bill, Fair enough if it was a video cus your seeing REAL life ppl getting "shot". But a game Do ppl in real life have boxy type heads, can a real person carry about 7 different guns, grandes rocket launchers etc with a full load out of ammo. No youd get an hernia if ya tried

This is whats wrong witht he world were going crazy over stuff that aint that important. Lets spends millions on banning a 17 year old from buying a "violent game" Oh theres ppl starving out here who cant even afford a bar of soap Oh well they can hang on cus our situation is Far more serious.

Those ppl make me sick.

BTW im 21 so can buy it and ai live in the UK anyway so that doesnt affect me cus i dont wanna buy it cus id never play on it. Im too busy playing on Earth and Beyond what a quality game.

PS. if you buy and play it Stick me down as your referral. EA account name: montagano bay

what they're doing is making it illegal to sell an M rated game to anyone 17 or younger. Its like all other age regulated things, you can get away w/ it if you ask the right employee but if they're caught they get a $500 fine.

[fahad]

I don't have sp1 and the game works fine for me :)

[Ironman273]

I have this wierd bug that whenever I try to get the payout from Sunshine Autos the game crashes. The payout is at the full $9,000 and it's the only payout that crashes... It's no big deal, cause of the other properties, but it's annoying when I accidentaly hit it going into the dealership.

Anyone else seen or heard anything like it?

Oh, and BTW, the game ROCKS! :D

[dougkinzinger]

no man, no problems here with da payout.

[Tobbe]

I have bought every single structure in the whole game (15).

I have finished all the main missions.

So, where do I find this Apache?

[m0fo]

you also have to finish the side missions to complete the game... that means you have to complete all the unique jumps, collect all 100 hidden packages, go up to level 12 of the vigilante, paramedic, and firefighter missions and up to level 10 of the pizza delivery mission.... you also have to do a few more things but i can't remember off the top of my head....

jsut search on google for a gta vice city 100% completion guide

[loki102]

actually the apache apears after you get all 100 packages, i'm pretty sure you dont have to complete all the side missions or jumps to get it, its at the very back of the millitary base behind the airport

[m0fo]

oh yeah... sorry... my bad....

if you want the apache to appear on the helicopter pad next to that house by the beach, you have to complete the game....

sorry... got a bit mixed up

[Tobbe]

I found the Apache, I finished all the main missions.

Now it says I've finished 54%... 100% is impossible without any guide.

[Bizkit]

i am trying to get all the kill fenzys without any guides. the packages are the hardest thing to get without the guide. still trying
