Can not load game?

Kewun · Jul 30, 2016, 08:34 AM

i didnt know if its a bug or crash, so i posted this thing in this general discussion

so my problem is, when im connecting to a server, game loads like to 50%, then comes back to 0% and loads again to 50%, and goes back to 0% again.

Singleplay works fine.

what could be that caused?

i have ddraw.dll in my game directory, because if i dont have this file, game crashes with the address of 6f6330 ( i already posted this crash tihngy in support section but i dont want reinstall windows again )

Without this file, i cant play gta vc normally

any help? :/

Reinstall vice city*, not VCMP. I had the same problem and fixed it by reinstalling

There is already a ddraw.dll file in the system32 and SysWOW64

That ddraw.dll in your Vice City directory is a MOD. Reinstall your Vice City.

Which windows?
Try install Oracle VM and install Windows 10/7 in it. Get VC working in it and then VCMP.

windows 10 home

Kewun · Aug 01, 2016, 06:49 PM

and i dont want to play vc mp on a virtual machine since it ruins my fellings of pc and laggy as shit
and i dont want to downgrade from windows 10 to windows 7 or 8
windows 7 is worst for me, 8 is like a copy clone of 8.1
thats why i love windows 10 and windows xp ( i dont awnt install windows xp, its dangerous )
I would love to fix this crash for once and all, that is my last request ;c

Try my VCMP installer [just an outdated official vcmp installer but it works better]

Windows client

Did you try running with different compatibility modes?
Did you try running as admin and/or without admin privileges?
Do you have the proper Visual C++ runtime libraries installed?

What have you tried, what do you have installed on your system that could possibly interfere with the game. Drivers and such.

The issue is ddraw.dll is blocked by vcmp in some type of fashion,.

Since you said ddraw.dll helps, I just happened to notice it really is blocked same reloading as you said. but you need to change either the directory or write a string in the ddraw.dll to make the .dll to anonymous.

So dont worry, it still works, you just need to modify a few things and you will be back to playing vcmp again

Or you could fix your game the correct way,. Which is removing that darn ddraw.dll
