Hi.
A few minutes before i wanted to play again VCMP after a one-two weeks break. I have opened vcmp.exe, selected a server, "connect". At this moment, VCMP runs gta-vc.exe's engine and connects to a server. But not for me. Everything worked really good before, but now at gta-vc starts, the game is minimized. So okay, i click it to restore it. It looks like restoring, but hell its minimizing again. I click 10 times at it on the taskbar and finally its restoring back...
As i said this bug was not present before. Polonez said me that the same happens for him. I have tried to run only gta-vc.exe [singleplayer] and it works, so it must be a VCMP bug.
Cheers,
NC

This is happening to me too sometimes, never happened in previous versions of vcmp
-

Yup that's true, This thing happens to me sometimes too.
-
This thing isn't happened to me, for sure is very strange.
-
Another person/PL player told me, that this happens for him too.
I have an idea. Everyone who has posted here has Vista/7? Maybe that's why [again]...
-
I use 7 Home Premium x64, however I have still not experienced this bug. Might be because I haven't played VC a lot lately though, dunno.
-
It happened to me today when I was fighting D;
Win 7 x64
-
Since I use Windows 7 32 bit and it never occured to me, I'd say the problem is with 64 bit systems.
-
It seems to be random and happen to differant people.
I'm running win7 x64 on my main comp and win7 x86 on my lappy. Doesn't happen on either of them.
Tis a strange bug...
-
It happens sometimes to me too, in fighting :s!
and i have XP 64 bit
-
Vista 32 [x86]. Last time i have tested some scripting stuff on my server:
1st time: Server on, client on, "connect" and works as it should.
2nd time: the same as 1st.
3rd time: minimizes, after a few clicks still minimizes, so i kill gta-vc.exe.
4th time: the same ad 3rd.
So it "works", like VR said, randomly. No idea how to reproduce it, simply join server [or even while in-game ;o] And if devs are reading this topic please let us know this :].
-
Windows XP (ye i know.. some games just didn't worked on Win 7) 32 bits, happens to me sometimes. So, nothing to do with OS i guess :-\
-
Yep this happens to me almost all the time.. and im on Windows 7 32bit system
-
I have a method how to solve it, if it will still minimize. Stupid, but works :p.
1. Click on GTA VC at the taskbar.
2. Move the mouse cursor above the taskbar and click like hell!!11111
3. VCMP should return [for now] :p. If not, you are doing it too slow. Try again.
Anyway, after this i mostly get an "auto shooting" bug :<.

heh, this is exactly what ive been doing :)
-
Well I have never got this problem using VC:MP's Alternate browser
-
I tried the alternative browser too, it happens there too [for me :c], but IMO, less.
-
Apparently this has been happening to people because of Windows Aero or Firefox 3.6
-
Aero? Definitely not, i am playing VCMP since i have access to porn... Woops, THE INTERNET, and since that time i have Vista with Aero and worked so no.
Firefox 3.6? Could be. Maybe ppl who posted here that VC minimizes, can sqy if they are using Firefox? I am using FF 3.7 prebeta and its still happens.
Anyway it happens also to MTA GTA3 and when running VC using Sanny Builder.
-
I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 and I don't have it anymore. (had it on Win7 though, I switched back to XP :P)
