Hey,
After a long break of stopping playing VCMP, I'm back, but now I'm facing a problem, that gta-vc.exe crash when I run it with VCMP (If I played as a single player, the crash doesn't happen it just happens when I try to join a server through VCMP browser).

Windows 7 Ultimate x32
So, the problem maybe is from the browser? There's any fixed browser or something?
-
Nah nothing to do with browser.
You get this error every time when you are trying to connect to a server? So how does it look like, you click on a server and what then? Appears the VC loading screen or instant crash? Or maybe the loading bar is going to ~ 3/4 the way and then crash?
-
Take a look:

EDIT: If you need anything else to know, you can TV me.
-
Oh strange, haven't ever seen a crash just after pressing connect. Hmm, maybe VCMP want to load something, which can be not accessed?
You said, that you played VCMP earlier. Which version was it? And do you used the same PC for that?
-
Nah, I am using a new PC, and It was the same ver. (At the old PC I was using Win XP x32)
-
Have you already trying to reinstall VC and VCMP? Do you put any mods into VC folder like dll files? Are you using the 1.0 exe? What about installing VC on another drive? Try to run an older VCMP or another MP for VC to check, maybe they won't run too.
This are probably the only things that could help you, I have no other ideas :/. Don;t think that this is an OS fault.
-
Tools -> Settings -> Vice City Installation Location. Try to set your VC dir again.

Actually I did that already.
Are you using the 1.0 exe?
What do you mean?

Hmm, I'll try that.

I don't have any older ver.

Here is an old version (R1) http://www.thegtaplace.com/downloads/f1915-vc-mp-0-3z
/me wonders why such a site has still not updated the VCMP version
Here is the 1.0 exe (http://gtam.eu/Vice_City_Patch_10_No-CD_f10000710.html)

Sorry to bump this, but I'm getting it as well, although my secondary address in the error is different and I don't even see the VC loading screen. This error is an old Vista/7 SA:MP-related error that is now affecting VC:MP because it is not fully compatible with Windows Vista/7. A simple update similar to the one SA:MP implemented is needed to solve this. Temporary workarounds only work for some users at this point.

That has NOTHING to do with the issue...

This happened to me too, and it's how I fixed it.
Do you have any other mods installed? MTAVC?
-
At the time MTA:VC was not installed in the same directory, and no, they don't conflict at all because MTA:VC doesn't touch VC's original files at all.
As for mods, none. I can already confirm it's the same issue SA:MP had a few versions back. They share the same, original codebase, so it's the same exact bug rearing it's ugly head again. The only true fix is an update to VC:MP itself.

C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\Documents\GTA Vice City User Files\ , delete the file "gta_vc.set"
If that doesn't work your fack'd :)

Then I'm "fack'd". I already did that. Like I said, it's a Vista/7 compatibility issue with the executable itself.

Towncivilian just found a solution! Copy your .set file from "C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\GTA Vice City User Files\" to "C:\Users\Public\Documents\GTA Vice City User Files\" while you have the "Run As Administrator" and "Windows 98/ME" compatibility settings set on the vc-mp.exe!

Developers! Please note that this fix does work, and needs to be implemented correctly for the sake of Windows 7 users. This bug is old, and was even fixed in a previous version of SA:MP, so given that they use the same codebase, this shouldn't be too bad of a bug to fix.
-
pretty sure it's been fixed in the beta.

It was mentioned that the original error with needing to run it under Win98/ME compatibility was, but either way this still needs the data location fixed, emulating or not.

If relocation is only needed for multiplayer, then it's not a fix, but a very hackish workaround. The real question is what is stopping Vice City from reading from the proper user directory when playing in multiplayer.

Sorry for bumping but i think the sound problem is causing all of this. Many sites have some currupted vice cities!
Can you give me the fast link to download VC with sound? ???
-
Sorry for bumping but I just really want a solution for this!
I get the same problem... I have no audio so I was thinking that was the problem too. I did everything, changed the compatibility (see no use of this idea since I'm already running it on XP) and deleted gta_vc.set.

There is no C:\Users\Public\Documents\GTA Vice City User Files\ for me. My GTA Vice City User Files are directed in my documents and that's it.

STOP BUMPING !!!!!!!
Wait for a reply don't bump old topics kid !
-
pfft, kid huh? If you knew better you wouldn't even reply with "stop bumping" because that is bumping yourself. Just making it clear. It's just I want to play the game and nobody seems to answer.

Be patient little kid.. Someone with some answers will answer your little question.. Until then, stop bumping and stop telling other people to not tell you that you're bumping or I'll report you to the moderators.

His question is relevant to the thread and isn't a nuisance, so I'll allow it. As for your question, I would create the directory and copy the .set file in there, and make sure that compatibility mode is on and set to Windows 98/ME. If that doesn't work, I don't know what else to tell you, as my installation worked fine out of the box.
