Issues and Fixes

Cutscenes

When a cutscene 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".

To fix this issue, navigate to the folder where the game is installed. In this folder right click "gta-vc.exe" and open Properties. Choose Compatibility and check "Disable visual themes". In addition, check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and choose Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

If this doesn't work, try turning on "Frame Rate Limiter" on, in the game settings.
