Vice City: Multiplayer

This is merely a cosmetic update which removes the Rockstar Games logos from the updated splash screen released for April Fools' Day. No other changes have been made to the client.

No! I haven't seen the R* logo. :'(

He's probably not joking, but he's also the only one complaining. I guess he either has bad luck or a fucked up system.

Since the update(or maybe since I installed stuff for Java plugin), I have been getting the "Injection thread is hung" pop a lot more frequently. It works on a retry, so nothing critical.

I've had that long before the last update. I'm assuming that there's some AV or even windows that scans the executable and I assume that some caching performed as well. Basically, even if I start the game normally, it's going to take a while until it goes full screen. And it happens with other software as well, not just Vice City. The longer the software was unused the more time is going to take to start for the first time. And this happens more often if the game is stored on a secondary HDD (not SSD!) drive that is shut down by windows when idle for longer periods.

Probably the browser times that the game startup and if it takes a long while it assumes it couldn't start. And since the first time takes a while, you obviously get that message.

Try doing a defragmentation of that drive and either disable HDD shutdown or increase the interval. And also, open a task manager when you start it and see if another process spikes the CPU or any resource like disk read. I'd recommend Process Explorer (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processexplorer.aspx) with a very short update/refresh interval.

No this isn't a joke, again the client doesn't work after this update and I'm frankly getting pissed by the amount of times the devs fuck up the game for me with each update.

I've got a top notch system, one of the best money can buy so I highly doubt it.

He's not talking about your system specs. He's talking about a f*ed up operating system infected with all kinds of nasty software that came packed with other software and god knows what else or what they've altered on your os. I said software not viruses because the word virus lost it's cool a decade ago.

Doubt it, as I installed barebones Windows recently.

This "update" literally just swapped out one PNG file. If that breaks the game for you, the problem is not on our side.

Then why not report those crashes? Don't you think that might help you more than bashing this topic?

No crash files are being made as the game doesn't even get to its launch phase. The client simply breaks every time I attempt to connect to a server. And this issue has been happening every single time the client receives an update.

Scan your hard drive fully.

I recommend doing fresh install of VC and VCMP browser (deleting all the roaming and local data in appdata folder which can be opened directly from RUN by typing %appdata% in it).

I've done this several times in the past and I'm not going to do it again as that is not the problem.

Do you have anything in %appdata%\VCMP\04beta\debuglog.txt?
