Syk3 Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Yeah, I was wondering if anyone else was experiences unintentional gliches in Vice City. I suppose I've racked up about 30-35 hours, and beat the game, and now I'm getting a ton of gliches. I mean, I'd be driving on my PCG 600 and all of a sudden it say loading and just freeze up. The same thing happened to my helicopter, and since this has just started happening, I feel this is no coincidence. I was even driving along and suddenly fell through the ground. o_O There were also a few more instances, and I want to know... Is this happening to others of you who have been playing this game for a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Holiday Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 After the first week my brothers ps2 stopped reading his copy so he took it back to the store and it ran fine on theirs. So we tried it on mine and it ran perfectly on it too. So he's been borrowing my ps2 for the last 3 weeks and I'm slowly going insane from lack of gaming. But before his system stopped reading gta:vc it was doing the same things. You'd fall through the road when driving, once in awhile when you started to get in a car it'd restart the game, when walking youd start losing armor and health, occasionally the sound would go out.

Syk3 Posted November 23, 2002 Author Share Posted November 23, 2002 Hmm, well, thanks. I sure hope it's not the PlayStation 2 because that would be very frustrating. Of course, it's working fine on our friend's PS2, but since then we havn't bothered to use our own. (We as in me and my brother. We share a PS2, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Holiday Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Well my brothers still plays all his other games it just wont play gta:vc or any dvd's. It's very frustrating every game we got before vc works perfectly even gta:3 I'm about ready to just beat it with a hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Break Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 [size=1][color=crimson]Ah yes, this happened to my GTAIII. After playing it for an hour or so (from when I turned the PS2 on) the sound effects went and I got really frustrated. Soon my PS2 would not even [i]read[/i] GTAIII and other games. The problem was actually my PS2. I gots a new one now and it works perfectly well, so, yeah the problem could most likely be your PS2, sorry. :([/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimrod Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Some pretty strange stuff has happened to me in the game. I wouldn't really consider it bad though. For some reason, after I collected 10 hidden packages I got all of the rewards for collecting them (Hunter and all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCajones Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 My Vice City won't load i dont't know whether to take it back? Its really annoying because i had finished it.

NeoCactuar Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Well you could try and get it scratch repaired, or even get your PS2 checked out. I had my first feeze up yesterday *Sniff.. hic..* It was like Vice cities first steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] [size=1][color=crimson]Well, it happens so often, lol. Umm, Cojones, you should take it back for scratch repair, as NeoC has said. But, you could also take it back to the shop you bought it from and tell them the problem. See if they'll give you a refund or tell you what to do.[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCajones Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Yeah i probably will do that, but Rockstar should definetely do something about this as it's not much good having one of the best games under your name if it doesn't even work! I had finished it, but there is so much you can do and i can't be bothered to start it all again with Christmas and birthday round the corner I will get new games hopefully without GLITCHES!

Zidargh Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 [SIZE=1][COLOR=darkblue]Well hey now, remember the game is HUGE. And taking million of peopl to respawn isnt like a walk in the breeze. I've had a weird glitch as for some reason, I pass a bridge that leads to 'Starfish Island' and there are cars that are stuck in the road but when I try to hit them, they disappear. Its happened twice but its weird. Also I've found that the helicopter keeps disappearing in the Hyman Condo for some reason. Its a good game but maybe put a population limit, which would make the game even more fun MWAHA! Cojones, you can easily get a 'Disk Resurfacer' from HMV. I'll look into that for you.[/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCajones Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Thank you Zidane now i can walk the streets freely, without being attacked by any of those mean glitches. Your my hero and yes that glitch happens all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 For some reason, in 'The Driver', if I stop my car and put in the Destroy All Cars code, and complete the checkpoints, it says Hilary has died, and when it fades to black, if freezes like that. >> It would be okay if I could just complete the mission. Can ANYONE help me with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 [color=#507AAC]Well, really...there is are no excuses for these glitches. And both Sony and Rockstar are to blame. The PS2's laser is extremely low quality. This is why people often have trouble playing DVD movies after a while. It's also why some games start to freeze or take longer to be recognized by the PS2. It's also an issue of Rockstar North rushing this game and not doing enough testing. Falling through the road and such are not the fault of the PS2 -- they are game-specific glitches. They are merely the result of shoddy programming and a lack of thorough software testing. And this is the core of the problem; you never know if it's your PS2 or your game. I sense that some are getting new PS2s (or even buying entirely new ones) even when it's actually the game's fault. So, yeah. Let's hope Rockstar North puts a bit more effort into GTA 4. Oh and...use cheats with great caution. Cheats are even [i]less[/i] software tested. And thus, they will often screw up the game in certain circumstances.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCajones Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I think if you make cheats for a game the company should make perfectly sure that it will not lead to technical flaws! I mean sure it warns you when your saving on Vice City that cheats could course problems, but say if you couldn't do a mission so you decided to use cheats you're just expected not to save. It's alright if just have an experimental go on Vice City, but that's not usually how it is. Some also ruin the game either crashing so you can't load data (happened to me on both GTA 3 and Vice City), or some cheats just stay installed on to the game if you save (all the pedestrian ones which I found out the hard way on GTA 3 when I had crazy pedestrians roaming around killing me and each other while trying to do missions :mad: ). Rockstar need to do something about this!!!

Well about the mission that would definetely have to be my hardest (The Driver) and well really I don't have any advice for you. It's just luck really if your talented enough to get in the lead and stay there. I mean you can take the police cheat off, but that doesn't help alot as sometimes they help you out. Good luck ...

Sniglefager Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 in my game, some cops killed me once by shooting through a stone wall. It was really cheap, cause I had just completed a mission, and they KILLED ME! What the frook?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 [color=darkblue]Theres Glitches with the Dodo Cheat as well, If you activate it then get into a Helicopter the game freezes, I don't know if it does this with the Planes. Another Glitch I've seen, it when I go over the bridge near the Mailbu Night Club, the road disapears and all I can see is water where the road should be.

Syk3 Posted January 11, 2003 Author Share Posted January 11, 2003 I have a feeling that some gliches (note: [i]some[/i]) are the fault of perhaps some of the codes. I mean, when you put in a code, it always warns you when you go to save. Supposedly, it takes away from your hidden packages or something, but it may be doing more. That's mainly the reason why I don't save with codes, heh, but I'm just warning all of you who do. You never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
