I'll add my name to the beg-list for this fix. My clan's server is often the most populated server in VC:MP, but once the playercount gets too high it crashes out and we lose all our players. This isn't only deflating our experience of the game, it is also driving players away.

I would rather the devs fix this and then not release anything else for 5 years than slowly moving towards a new version that has a couple of new features.

Agreed, it's not fair on the hoster or the server owners for their servers to explode from having no ram, I've seen the effects of this and believe me, it can rip an irc network in half, not a pretty sight, people dont want to play on servers if they just all of a sudden loose connection, so something needs to be done.

We are cancelling the CTC tournament since no one has come forward for the group stages, probably down to us taking years to get them sorted but yeh!

Look out for more Project Apollo events coming up!

So then I tried installing vc-mp into C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\ then an error message appears. The error message telling me this:
Error opening file for writing:
C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\vc-mp.exe
Click Abort to stop the installation,
Retry to try again, or
Ignore to skip this file.


If you know how to fix it please help. I just want to play.

That usually means that you have vc-mp.exe running at the time .

You people do realise that there is /msg [ID] [Message] built into VC:MP right?

Reinstall Vice City, make sure you have no mods which have edited files.

No wonder your timing out, your loosing 90% of your packets. No idea how you can fix that .

It's time for the second week of PACV so get ready to answer the question of the week. As for the first week it was interesting to read what some of you said about starting events and stuff and generally having more active admins/players. I've been joining a few times this week and the player count has been around 7 / 8 for us, not much I know but it's a lot to what we normally have . Now for the second installment.

• Miami-Dade Racing
  Vice City Racing was a break through for the mIRC scripting language when Juppi and Mattz first opened the server way back in 2008, last year it got converted to the Squirrel scripting language and it is still going strong, all though slightly on the empty side at times. However, what we want to know is What makes you rage? I notice a lot of rage can come from VCR but what exactly is it that causes that? VCMP's 1 mile safety radius around each car? The tracks? The vehicles? Let us know!

It will stop when the damn vcmp devs get off their arses and actually decide that they aren't going to be lazy, and that they are going to actually try and fix the issues with Rak-Net. Why the hell do you blank Rak-Net out!?
