Issues fixed
Timing-related issues
Any of the following problems, refer to a single common fixbox.
If you have
- Broken cutscenes (When a cut scene starts, the game seems to be frozen.)
- It is noticeable upon starting a new game, when a black screen appears with the writing "Marco's Bistro, Liberty City, 1986".
- Random crash when changing resolution
- Cars that reverse extremely slowly and/or stop quickly after releasing the accelerator
- Inhuman difficulties while performing boat missions (such as "Stunt Boat Challenge")
- Boats that accelerate and move slower than they should be (like cars issue above)
- Game that runs almost comically quickly[2]
- Pedestrians seem to be "running" and cars move on and off screen extremely fast.
- Textures & models "pop in" too slowly[2]
- Certain models such as bridges or stairs take a few seconds to "pop in" even if the character is standing near to or next to the model.
- In the mission "The Driver", a character may fall through the a bridge.
- Vice City with almost no cars or pedestrians on the streets and seems a ghost-town.
THEN
Mouse clicks do not register
- Moving the mouse has no effect outside of the menus or clicks do not register at all outside (and/or inside) of the menus.[5]
- Try the fixes under timing-related issues first.
Game crashes after intro movie or fails to start entirely
- Nothing occurs, other than a possible quick flicker, when attempting to run the game (gta-vc.exe)
- The game starts, however it crashes directly after the intro move with the error "gta-vc.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."
Camera locks after a unique jump is performed
- The camera locks in slow-motion and does not release the view.
Crosshair inaccuracy
- When playing on a higher and wider resolution, the onscreen crosshair is not accurate.
- The real aim is slightly above and to the right of the displayed crosshairs.
- The latest steam version[6] places the crosshair in the correct location on the screen.

- CLEO - Popular script extender used by lots of sophisticated mods. Not compatible with the Steam version
