Vice City Online freezes 15 Minutes into Gameplay
« on: December 26, 2011, 06:14:52 am »
I'm using a Windows 7 64 Bit with 4gb Ram. I Downloaded vice city as a torrent, then used daemon tools to trick the driver into thinking there's a Disk in there. Single Player works perfectly. I Also downloaded VC:MP (Vice City Multi-Player) I'm using the client version 03.z r2) I Can play online for about 10 or 15 Minutes straight, or maybe if i'm running or if i'm nearby a car that explodes and there's a lot going on in my area then the hole thing freezes, Even my computer. I Have to then re-boot my PC Which is exhausting. I Also set my compatibility mode to windows 98/me, and that didn't help. There was also a Windows 7 Option there too! But that didn't help either. What could i do in this situation? Thanks for your time

Installing any mod can cause this.

Either your PC is terrible or you have a high-res particle mod straining your PC.

No the PC is Good. Well, good enough for Vice City Multiplayer that's for sure. Or are they?
Operating System (O/S)   Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1
Graphics Card:   Mobile IntelĀ® 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Model   Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4300 @ 2.10GHz
Operating System Build (O/S)   (build 7601), 64-bit
CPU Speed   2.10GHz
Manufacturer   Intel
Video Memory   1.7 GB
Local Disk C:   286.3 GB
Used space:   56.9 GB
Free Space:   229.4 GB
System RAM: 4GB

Is this good enough? I was told that Vice City is only compatible with 32Bit operating systems.
I Ran the gta-vc.exe in "Windows 98/Me" compatibility mode.

Vice City works perfectly fine without compatibility mode for me, on Windows 7 Home Premium x86. Try disabling compatibility mode, or if it's necessary, running it in Windows XP compatibility mode.
