Does not work with windows 8 :(

[Ankido]

I wasn't aware GTA III and VC didn't work with windows 8. I'm not sure if it's windows 8 or my monitor. I use a Samsung UHD so maybe it doesn't want to open up in 4k. I can't seem to make the game open up in window if my life depended on it. I've tried -windowed -ws -window and nothing is making it open up in window. I've also tried -window -noborder. Anyone got III and Vice City to run on windows 8 or figured out how to set resolution outside the game?

I just blew away $30 bucks for nothing.

They work.I don't have Windows 8,but they work for many people.Did you try changing your compatibility mode to SP2 or Windows 98?

[Ankido]

Yes I tried that still doesn't work.

Did you try running game from testapp in game directory?Does game start at all?

OK. I figured something out. Seems that my monitor is 4k and a lot of games are not compatible with higher resolution. So what I did was changed my native resolution to 1920x1200. The game loaded up. The problem is the mouse doesn't work ingame and can't turn left or right with my guy. He just runs up and down.

When that happens i usually just press Escape and go back to game and it works.But if it doesn't work after that for you,try going to controls and changing to standard controls.Then configure controls after that.Also one tip:If you're NVidia user set frame limiter off to run game above 30 fps(in your case 120 fps right?).Then go to NVidia control panel add GTA Vice City find VSync and change to On,cause it's kinda buggy if you play without it.

The game runs fine except the controllers are out of whack. I'll try to redefine them and see how it works. Says there is standard and classic. I tried both and nothing works right. I'll figure it out somehow. Thanks for the help.

You can set them for yourself,by pressing redefine controls.

Then do yourself a favour and get GInput ;)

And since you seem to play in widescreen, get a widescreen fix so the game starts to look bearable. Will also work fine with your 4K.

He can just change controls.
