Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
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.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\
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 "Frame Rate Limiter" on, in the game settings.
Crash when setting resolution
The game may crash when changing the resolution, however, the resolution setting is saved, so simply re-launch the game.
Cars Reverse Slowly And Stop Quickly
If cars reverse super slowly and/or your car stops quickly after releasing the accelerator, trying turning the "Frame Rate Limiter" on within the display options.
Mouse movement and/or clicking has no effect
There is an issue where moving the mouse will have no effect (with the exception of the menus) and clicking not registering at all, opening and closing the Steam overlay will resolve this issue. Alt-tabbing has a similar effect, however, this also causes the game's menu to open, and upon closing the menu, the mouse becomes unresponsive again.
