Bugs, Glitches, and Incompletes

As this mod is released to the public before it's finished there are often a lot of bugs in it. Here is the place where you can tell us what we need to fix before the final version is released.

Before you post a new bug, please ensure that you have the latest version of GTA:LC - that is, v7test. Also, please read through the CHECKLIST FOR GTA:LC FINAL. Please do not report on these as we already know about them. If you have the solution to any of these problems, then by all means feel free to help us out - please post here if you have any suggestions/solutions to bugs as well. This post will also house any general bugs (bugs that do not fall under a specific category as per the Checklist).

When reporting a bug, please try to be as specific as possible because it makes it easier for the team to recreate it if we know exactly what you did. If you received a debug output, please post the first seven lines (up to and including the numbers after the "EFLAGS" heading). Any information in a debug output is saved to gta-lc-scm.log in your main LC folder.

Any bugs with unofficial mods should be posted in the Unofficial Mods topic or PM'ed to the author.

Below is a list of fixed bugs and download links. If there is a bug that has been crossed off the checklist, yet doesn't appear in this list, then it simply means that although the bug has been fixed, there is no download for it (or that I just can't be arsed to update two lists anymore ). Please also read this list to make sure that you don't report on something that has already been fixed.

Dodocopter – IMAGE	Download
The gate at the army base won’t open for any vehicles, even with an army vehicle. It will however open from the inside to let you out (That's not a bug. It's not supposed to open for Army vehicles. It opens after completing 'Arms Shortage')
Car-jackers will steal your helicopter, but they don’t know how to fly it (It's the same way in VC)
The blue mission marker sometimes hangs in mid-air, and only sticks to the ground when you come close to it (This also occurs in VC and LCS, and is a problem with the game engine - it cannot be "fixed")

Note to GTA:LC Team - when trying to recreate a bug to fix it, make sure that you test it thoroughly (that is, with debug mode on and with debug mode off).

There are likely to be more bugs that haven't been discovered yet, so if you find any, please report them - it helps us to fix them and improve the overall quality of GTA:LC. As more bugs are reported, they will be added to the list so that it is up-to-date.

If any have been fixed and are still on the list, please post and let us know so that they can be moved to the "Fixed Bugs" list - please include the number and category so that it's easier to find - Screw that, I'll just cross them off the checklist .

Thanks guys .

Good post but i found this:
GTA LC Bug
The cars are CRAZY!!!!
If u will play u will see this



This post has been edited by petercodename32 on Monday, Mar 21 2005, 18:09

[Y_Less]

The cars are supposed to do that, it crazy drivers and road rage (play VC and see (it happens alot outside ken's ofice).

[Kurropt Antagonist]

While playing, I get insane stunt bonuses (Not the ones you do for 100% completion) for flipping over a car (just onto it's roof) or for wrecking off a bike.

T'is pretty weird when it reads "And what a great landing." when I'm running from the flaming wreck.

[Mercie]

Well, I used to play GTA3 and I would get a little window that said "Please insert your GTAIII disk."

Now, even with all this new Vice City modding, I have not seen the window. I installed GTA:LC in a fresh copy of VC and now I am getting that same window. Bug? Glitch? Stupid CD? Cd Drive?

[Kurropt Antagonist]

Check the other threads for adding the GTAIII audio.

[Mercie]

I got the audio. That was done when I installed it.

[Torque-]

Ok, I have a prob when I start LC.

You know the start screen with the blue bar.

When it loads. All of a sudden LC closes automatically. I didnt change anything in the game. Got a fresh install of VC and installed Beta2.

Help?

[spaceeinstein]

Help Topic?

I don't know what's your problem if you give us that vague description.

[Smellton]

I got this when i tried to load my game

and theres more

if u want me to paste whole thing i have it saved

[Smellton]

also if you fly over a place in a helicopter where there is a unique stunt bonus, it goes into the stunt bonus camera view and it doesn't stop until you land

[Craig Kostelecky]

That problem was solved about 6 months ago. You're probably just using the betav1 files. Download the beta2 test package (found in the first post of the "Current Status of the Mod" thread) to update your files (and play a LOT more missions) Make sure you get the GTA3 audio files (either from your GTA3 CD or from the download in the first post)

[soyoukan]

when getting on the overhead train the character sort of goes into the bottom of the train...the first time i did not use "enter" to get on but simply walked; it left me in the middle of train/track and i had no way off. when i used "enter" after reloading the game, i went into the train again (in the floor); i was able to ride the train, but when i tried to get off it did not do so, and i was left on the track, with the character "walking"; there was no way off except to reload the save game.

i dont know if anyone has the same prob, with beta 2....?

[Craig Kostelecky]

@soyoukan: If you would have read the first post, you would have seen that we already know that the train has no collision. We're trying to fix it.

@To everybody else posting bugs: Please read the first post in this thread to see if your bug has already been discovered. Also, if correctly installed this mod does work (for the most part). However if you're getting a problem (such as your game not running at all) there's a couple of things you can do to help us track down your problem.

First, tell us what's reported in the game's included debug screen (see Smellton's post for an example of what that looks like). Note that if the last scm command is a "0001: wait" then the problem is most likely not code related and pasting the entire scm trace is not necessary.

Secondly, download a program called DbgView. Then make sure it's running while you're playing LC. Many problems are reported to that program. If you get a crash then copy and paste the last few lines in the DbgView report.

And finally, if your crash is during the game, try to describe what exactly was happening in the game before the crash happened. Also, describe exactly how you installed the LC mod. It's very possible that there was something that's obvious to us that you may have forgotten.

Also, when you solve a problem, it would be very nice if you posted exactly how you fixed it. There are a lot of common problems that occur and the solutions are usually similar. So if you solve a problem posting how you did it may help several other people fix their issues.

We're trying to make this as bug free as possible for every one involved. Hopefully, with your help we'll figure out exactly what problems exist for each user. And then when the time comes to make a final, major release we'll be able to write a readme with solutions to almost every possible problem.

[Kurropt Antagonist]

Here's a new one to me.

That was the only crash I got last night, after around 2 hours of playing.

Oh, and with the 'Grand Theft Auto' mission, it seemed to me that having your car resprayed and letting 'Claude' close the car door when entering the garage increased the chances of the garage actually closing.

Edit
Also, something is wrong with the Yardie cars. When the car wheels are "down," the car wants to bounce around (more like flip-over) on it's own.

Sorry for the double post, everytime I try to "edit" the last post, I get the white-screen of death.

When the two guys arrive, Claude turns away from them (towards the phone). But then he turns right back around.

I'm also getting a crash with this mission, always near a specific time (normally as I'm crossing the Callahan bridge after killing the Diablos, depending on how long it takes the Diablos to show up). I think it takes about 3 minutes or so, but it ALWAYS crashes. 5/6 times, it's "noname" that's the problem thread, but the last time, it was "ambul_m". But the Debugger showed the last OPCODE was always "0001 wait".

OK,I have a strange problem. I have my original VC/III cd's. Ever since I installed the Mar 25 v2 beta test, whenever I copy the audio from the gta3 cd, I cant start LC, game asks for play cd, its in the drive. only when gta3 audio is in audiolc floder.
any ideas?
I also notice, in the latest v2 beta, tha launcher is older then the most recent one, which cane out before the latest beta 2 release. Maybe this is my trouble?

I was keeping this quiet for a long time. For anyone who have the message insert play disc: open the gta-lc config file. Add showconfig=1 around the [EXE] area. Click Advanced. Click Audio. Click Verify Paths. Now edit to your will.

Or a simpler way, just click on Craig's showconfig shortcut in the directory of LC.

When you browse to the exe using the launcher, is it supposed to put it in quotes, since if the path to gta-vc.exe is in quotes, it then messes up verify paths. That's one of the problems I had installing my Beta 2.
