Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Can't drive backwards (fixed)
For some reason I can't drive backwards in cars. The reversing lights go on, but the car doesn't move at all, well sometimes it does 1 or 2 times and sometimes it moves backwards really slow.

While playing game on a newer PC the game works fine other then with Tommy in a vehicle in which case the car will NOT go in reverse. The white reverse lights on the car light up but the car does not move.

Solution: Turn Frame Limiter ON-- Apparently newer PCs don't play well with VC's game engine

I get that as well, there's some odd things in the game at the moment that don't add up. For example, the fountain near the gun shop on the first island is nothing like I remember it...

30 fps suck, but it works at least.
I figured out that only a few cars can't drive backwards when frame limiter is off. The others work perfectly.

Didn't work for me all the time, but sometimes driving backwards worked. Bikes seem to be least effected.

I'll have to use this, playing at 30fps makes me feel sick.

I had the same problem and made my own solution. If you use RivaTuner and lock your fps to 60 it will fix it and your game won't be laggy

Surprisingly turning frame limiter on worked. Thank you very much!

Thanks you so much. I have the same problem, and only for that little thing can play the game very well.
