Well, normally I wouldn't make such recommendations but i'm just too lazy to waste time in helping you find the issue. So I'll just use the quick and dirty method and see if that does the job.

Grab libpng15.dll (http://www.filedropper.com/libpng15) and put it into your /Windows/system32 folder or in a system path where it can be located by applications.

Which reminds me, why do you guys use such an old version of libpng? 1.6.27 is available and you're still using 1.5.13 (~5 years old). Which has quite some nasty vulnerabilities according to the official site (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html).

Didn't work.

Well then, that message was correct then. Your AV probably blocked that DLL (not the first time it happened (http://forum.vc-mp.org/?topic=3152.0)). Because it's such an old version with so many vulnerabilities and issues. It's no wonder.

You only chance is to either pause your AV while playing or add the `OS Drive Letter:\Users\YourUserNameGoesHere\AppData\Local\Vice City Multiplayer` path to your AV ignore/white list. With the latter being the preferred one.



PS: Stop quoting posts where not necessary.

Did you try downloading libpng15.dll (https://www.dll-files.com/download/8f1fbf8ac8e6aa7ab827ab12e846d82b/libpng15.dll.html?c=UFZkSmNGelJORTExMWZpa0d6SVNkdz09) and placing it in your VC:MP installation folder?
If it still persists you can also try to register it by running command prompt as administrator and type the following (supposing you have placed it into your system32 folder):
Quoteregsvr32 libpng15.dll
