If the Steam version is detected, the Rockstar launcher can launch the game through Steam instead.^[4]

Was given for free to anyone who purchased The Definitive Edition on the Rockstar Store before June 30, 2022.

Version differences

The current Steam version as of December 2012 was rumored to have some radio songs removed similarly to the mobile version and rare 2013 retail PC re-release.^[5] However, these rumours were untrue as the most recent Steam version ("New Audio") still has the full soundtrack, like the earlier retail and "Old Audio" Steam versions.^[6]^[7]^[8]

The Rockstar Games Launcher version, however, does have the cut soundtrack from the mobile port and the 2013 retail re-release.^[9] To restore them for the Rockstar Games Launcher version, see Downgrading.

Essential improvements

Patches

Not recommended for modding as most mods require v1.0.

Patch v1.1 is the latest official patch available. Most digital distribution versions already include this patch.

Skip intro videos

Although this mod was made for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, it also works for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as well.

Installing No Intro mod^[10]
Download the mod here. Extract the `movie` folder from the archive, then copy this folder to `<path-to-game>`, replacing the video files. For the German version, duplicate `GTAtitles.mpg` within the mod's folder and rename the copied video as `GTAtitlesGER.mpg`. Now launch the game. The blank videos should skip the intro and launch straight into the game.

SilentPatch

This works with both v1.1 and v1.0 executables. No need to downgrade.

Fixes numerous bugs and oversights introduced in the PC version.

Installing SilentPatch and DDraw Component^[11]

Download SilentPatchVC and DDraw Component here.
Extract the contents of zip archives into <path-to-game>

If SilentPatch does not seem to be applied after this, look into INSTALLATION part of the ReadMe.txt in the zip archives. The fix's creator might have changed something.

ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix

A v1.0 executable is recommended.

Fixes issues such as broken in-game widescreen presentation, misaligned aiming and HUD/subtitle scaling in higher resolutions.

Adds MSAA support for the non-Steam version. Also works as an ASI loader and a D3D8to9 wrapper.

Installing ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix^[12]

Download ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix here.
Extract the GTAVC.WidescreenFix folder from the zip archive, then copy the d3d8.dll file and scripts folder into <path-to-game>.
(Optional) Download the Widescreen Frontend from the drop down menu where you downloaded ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix above, then extract the contents of the zip archive and copy them into <path-to-game>, overwriting any files in the process.

Notes

The default settings alter the original game's UI and appearance (the vehicle light fix is not actually a fix as all versions have large light coronas). For a vanilla look, set the values of the following settings in GTA3.WidescreenFix.ini:

; The settings below are used to scale parts of the game UI differently.
; If set to "0.0", original values will be used.
HudWidthScale = 0.0     ; Original value is 1.0.
HudHeightScale = 0.0    ; Original value is 1.0714285.
RadarWidthScale = 0.0   ; Original value is 1.0.
SubtitlesScale = 0.0    ; Original value is 1.0.

; Fixes vehicle lights coronas size. (0|1).
SmallerVehicleCorona = 0

; Remove vehicle light square. (0|1).
NoLightSquare = 1

; Makes radar size the same as in GTA IV (0|1).
IVRadarScaling = 0

; Replaces text shadow with outline (0|1|2).
ReplaceTextShadowWithOutline = 0

The default settings sets ASI plugins to load from scripts folder instead of game's directory, yet most mods require you to load them from the root directory of the game. To force mods to be loaded from the root directory of the game, open global.ini and set the LoadFromScriptsOnly value to 0 (default is 1).

Restore removed licensed music tracks

Downgrading the game to an earlier version restores all of the removed licensed music tracks.

Game data

Configuration file(s) location

System	Location
Windows	%USERPROFILE%\Documents\GTA Vice City User Files\gta_vc.set
macOS (OS X)
Steam Play (Linux)	<SteamLibrary-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/12110/pfx/^{[Note 1]}

Configuration file is encrypted.

Save game data location

System	Location
Windows	%USERPROFILE%\Documents\GTA Vice City User Files\GTAVCsf*.b
macOS (OS X)	$HOME/Library/Application Support/Grand Theft Auto Vice City/p_drive/Documents/GTA Vice City User Files/
Steam Play (Linux)	<SteamLibrary-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/12110/pfx/^{[Note 1]}

Steam edition uses an altered saves format than the retail one. They can be converted though.

If using Windows 98 / Windows ME compatibility mode save files are stored in %PUBLIC%\Documents\GTA Vice City User Files.

Save files are not cross-compatible between Windows and OS X.

Portable GTA

Requires a v1.0 executable and an ASI loader (included in ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix).

Also works with Grand Theft Auto III and San Andreas.

Moves the user files folder to <path-to-game>, allowing a downgraded game to be fully portable.

Using Portable GTA^[13]
Download the portable GTA mod file (`portablegta.dll`) Rename the file extension from `portablegta.dll` to `portablegta.asi`. Place the `portablegta.asi` file into `<path-to-game>\scripts`. Run the game, exit to desktop, and then delete the contents inside `<path-to-game>\userfiles`. Copy everything from `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\GTA Vice City User Files` into `<path-to-game>\userfiles`.

Vertical sync (Vsync)	Can be forced from GPU control panel.^[12] Enabling the Frame Limiter setting also caps the game to 30 FPS unless modded.
60 FPS and 120+ FPS	Running the game above 30 FPS introduces physical and technical issues.

Widescreen resolution

Only 16:9 aspect-ratio is supported as other resolutions are stretched, however, the in-game Widescreen setting causes issues such as stretched HUD, cuts off parts of the image (Vert-), and misaligned mouse aiming. Use ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix for proper widescreen support.

Issues fixed

Timing-related issues

An unlocked or incorrect frame rate cap can result in timing issues.

Related issues

Broken cutscenes (when a cut scene starts, the game seems frozen^[19])
- 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 reverse extremely slowly and/or lose their momentum faster 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 fast^[20]
- Pedestrians seem to be "running" and cars move on and off screen extremely fast.
Textures & models "pop in" too slowly^[20]
- 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 bridge.
Vice City with almost no cars or pedestrians on the streets and seems a ghost-town. It may breaks the entire game.
The in-game clock is broken, it would either take a while to change or would not change it ever.
The camera during stunt jumps can lock up at any moment and it would never go back to previous state.
Pedestrians in vehicles get stuck and unless you touch them, they would not move.
Turning sirens on or off is much harder due to shortened timing of pressing the assigned key to do so. Depends on the FPS.
The phone rings too quickly.
When prancing the motorbike, you could stay on your back much longer.
When crashing riding a motorbike upside down, the camera gets stuck and some times the player never gets up.
Helicopters' take-off is instantaneous.
Taking off in a Skimmer plane is impossible. It flies slowly.
Replays go faster.

Solutions

Turn on in-game frame limiter^[21]
No timing-related bugs. Frame limiter will limit game to 30 FPS.

Download Open Limit Adjuster^{[citation needed]}

Requires an ASI Loader (included in ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix).

Enables the game to run at 60 FPS while avoiding most game-breaking glitches.

Car handling is still slightly less responsive or stiffer, pedestrian conversations play too fast, cars are easy to push, cutscenes may end too quickly, sirens are hard to switch on/off, etc.

Place III.VC.SA.LimitAdjuster.asi and III.VC.SA.LimitAdjuster.ini into <path-to-game>\scripts.
Open III.VC.SA.LimitAdjuster.ini with a text editor.
Scroll down to [VCLIMITS] a change FrameLimit= 30 to FrameLimit= 60
Go to in-game video settings.
Make sure Frame Limiter is set to ON.

Use Framerate Vigilante^[22]^[23]
Contains fixes for many framerate related issues. By limiting the game to 60 FPS and using Framerate Vigilante, it's possible to achieve good, playable gameplay.

Modding

Downgrading

A majority of mods and fixes require a v1.0 executable.

Downgrading the Rockstar Games Launcher version restores all of the removed licensed music tracks.

Steam version requires a No-CD patch.^[31]

Rockstar Games Launcher version: use the VC RGSC Downgrader^[32]

Download the VC RGSC Downgrader.
Extract the contents of VCRGSCdowngrade.rar to <path-to-game>.
Run install.bat to start the downgrading process. The tool will automatically close its command prompt window and remove patch files afterwards.

I have compared the retail version included in the 2009 Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy collection and the "New Audio" Steam version and noticed the original radio songs that were rumored to be cut are still present in the latter.

[8] Verified by User:Mrtnptrs on 2022-11-28
Can confirm by playing the Steam "New Audio" version (bought long before it got delisted) that the music has not been cut; for example Billie Jean still plays after starting the game and stepping into the car.
