The Official GTA Vice City PC Thread

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 :)

    • Yeah I have a Sound Blaster X3 too (bought myself) and that is set up with the 6-channel cable for true surround. BUT Spotify and TIDAL do not support 5.1 SACD formats so I have to use Acoustic Engine for the fake surround. Apparently Apple Music is the only music streaming service with true Atmos/5.1 support.
    • I was already thinking about trying Fairphone with Murena /e/OS exactly because I don't want any AI on my communication device. For now, I've turned off all AI possible and turned on "Process data only on device" on my Galaxy S24.
    • They should lower the price but make clothing in the shops, like they've had in previous games, actually cost money. (Unless it's required for a mission)
    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
