Client Update Released (March 1)

[Stormeus]

Attention Kaspersky users
Your antivirus software is deleting or blocking a critical file for VC:MP, libpng15.dll. Not having this file can result in missing textures, not being able to see the VC:MP splash screen, missing weapons, and other undesirable behavior. Make sure that the following file is whitelisted:

Windows Vista-10 Users
C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Vice City Multiplayer\04rel003\libpng15.dll

Windows XP Users
C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Vice City Multiplayer\04rel003\libpng15.dll


A client update has been released for 04rel003.

• Players who are unable to load custom objects, vehicles or weapons are prevented from connecting to the server
• Players who are missing the libpng15 library mentioned above will be alerted when VC:MP loads
• Added the ability to play non-3D sounds that follow a player (requires a server update)
• Fixed players' aim direction not updating if they tapped the fire button without holding it down
• Fixed reconnect being triggered by /disconnect
• Fixed /showdebug crashing if used while disconnected from a server

This update will take effect upon reloading the browser.

Tested the firebutton from this end privately it's works. Still have to try it out on a public server once everyone gets the update.

Checked how the library error looks and it's great too.

Awesome work!

libpng15.dll
Is it safe? Do you checked the code?

Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.wtkun

Yes it's safe. We compiled the DLL ourselves, it hasn't even been modified since we introduced it in 2013, and Kaspersky is the only antivirus that picks up anything.

Installed the update, but are you sure about it?

I see no VCMP folder there.

Wherever you installed the client then. That's the default folder though, and we always advise not changing it.

Just run %localappdata% and the system will open it.

Can I get a bit explanation on this?

You're probably running the browser as administrator. In which case it's located in [OS-Drive]:\ProgramData\VCMP. It's a hidden folder so don't expect it to be there by default.

I'm not running it as administrator. And I manually tried to access that folder, but it was not there.

Oh yeah, found it, thanks!

VC-MP 0.4 Animation bug (1 March)

Actually I hope that doesn't even get fixed.. you can take quite some hilarious screenshots with that and it doesn't affect gameplay

[Gulk]

That bug is related to VC itself, not VCMP - it's been happening since a long time ago

Hello, would someone help me as the dll up? Occurred the following one day after doing the latest update of the VC: MP my Antivirus (Kaspersky) detected the dll as a Trojan, as said by other users. But anyway I innocently ordered that the antivirus "disinfects is" therefore believe he deleted the libpng15.dll now I can not play anymore! Could you tell me how to restore the dll? Thanks

First you need to whitelist the file in Kaspersky:
http://support.kaspersky.com/10017

Then you need to go into this folder:
C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\Vice City Multiplayer

And delete the folder named "04rel003." Close and open the browser again. This will force VC:MP to redownload all the files it needs to run.
