@Unbeatable.Wow bud I hope you were joking. I have a watercooled overclocked i7 16 gigs of RAM with a slightly overclocked GTX 660 ti. Running Windows 8.1 in the game locks up on me at the loading screen. I really wouldn't hate on the guy for trying to play a game that's nearly 13 years old. Pretty decent specs for a game that old. And to help you out you might want to go to the actual file. And have Windows troubleshoot. Have it run the game on Windows XP service pack three.

go to task manager, right click on gta vice city, go to details, find the actual process, right click open edit set affinity, deselect all processor cores except for core zero.. that should fix it

[OldGregg]

only do this after you have loaded the game and can walk around and stuff
also do this every time you start the game

[OldGregg]

its not windows, its how the game addresses multi core processors, which really werent that big back then

Alright i only played a couple of missions but the long delay from story to mission seems to be gone but the cars reversing slowly or awkwardly is still there being annoying :/ Thanks though
