Installation is to be done on a fresh copy of VC and is fully automated. It requires the VB6 runtimes available here. The game is launched with a custom launcher that allows us to make the necessary edits we need without actually modifying the EXE

Fixes include:
Single sided objects fixed – can be considered final
Flickering scenery in Staunton & Shoreside Vale fixed
LODs now visible between islands
LODs poking through road surfaces & buildings eliminated
Airport crash bug fixed
Flickering airport shadows fixed
Opaque glass windows now transparent & breakable
Portland dark road surfaces corrected
Edge of Portland docks now totally accessible
City wide update of collision files fully realised
Pay & Spray and Bombshop doors now work
Hideout doors now work
Emergency vehicle crane ship now fully visible
Flickering Portland shadows fixed
Building missing rooftops corrected
Lighthouse LOD model correctly positioned
Object placement updated – affects many lampposts, fire escapes, barriers etc.
Non-textured objects corrected - airport tunnel, stadium doors, shop fronts etc.
Blue edged alpha textures fixed although not yet complete
Callahan Bridge LODs updated – bridge is now final
Non-transparent object fixed - lighting bollards, lighthouse etc.
Car park barrier colours fixed
Recreational area lamppost heights corrected
Particle’s corrected – water wakes, newspapers & leaves
Airtrain height flight corrected
...among others...

Thanks to all the fans and supporters of the GTA:LC effort for all of their support and patience. Thanks to everybody who has contributed. SPECIAL thanks to killer.ip for his undieing efforts throughout all of this, Hammer83 for the EXE launcher, and Smithers2 for the installer.

The mod went behind the scenes for the greater good of the installer. Things will now resume to full public interaction. All threads and releases will now be assumed to be post-Beta, which is why the forum itself is sort of "resetting". Of course this post will get updated as more and more mirrors line up.

helis and Skimmer

I am getting up a mirror shortly.

[Direct!]

so I can delete my old LC dir?

[Luke]

Nice to know people wont have to try download the GTA:WO files to get GTA:LC now.

Thanks to all of the GTA:LC team, its come a long way.

If anyone happens to be using ancient versions of windows, or Internet explorer... then the Visual Basic 6 runtimes can be found Here for the installer.

You've all dont a great job.
Smithers.

Well someone up the order made a mistake with something, NOT the d/l though jus a PM never mind but if I was on brodband I would have had this ages ago.

Good job team you all deserve the stars karma ones.

[Opius]

Great work, to all the team. This should attract heaps of people, purely because you don't need to install all the patches released thus far to get it playable.

[D3mon_Hunt3r]

Great Work! I really hope this works cause i've tried it all and i can't get it working....

Keep up the great work GTA:LC Crew!

[ModelingMan]

When I tested this, before it was released, I could tell that there have been some major improvements. First one I noticed was the LOD, looks way better now.

I think I will postpone my race track and continue with the ped conversion.

"This mod just gets better and better."

[D3mon_Hunt3r]

Just to tell it works.... Like charm... i missed so much LC.... How do i get the bikes? Where can i find them? Once again thank you guys...

Read the readme LC Spawn was left in the code for the official release so that EVERYBODY can enjoy the most obvious advantage of LC--bikes and helis in Liberty City--straightaway. There are also some parked throughout the city...

[D3mon_Hunt3r]

Sorry i was so excited to try i forgot that.... Anyway i found them just after u cross Calahan Bridge. Once again thanks for making this possible

[gkl]

Oh man, looks like my dream came true. Thank you people

[GTA Firefighter]

You guys are awesome, working long and hard hours to bring this to us, the public of GTAforums, that is pure dedication. You guys rock and I can't wait to download it!

[Luke15]

Well done y'all! Alot of effort must have been put in! oyu all must have alot of spare time . Anyway well done!

That was a beautiful moment last night, if only I could've filmed my expression the moment I realised what was going on...

Big thanks go out to all the members that have helped out over the last few months to get this to you. Now that we have a set of files to call our own we're finally in a position where our next set of objectives are clear... but in the meantime have fun, my stars tell me there is much work ahead.

[.:R2D2:.]

Sweet, nice easy way to install, I'm gonna try this soon as I free up enough space on my HDD. Nice work guys.

[Rufus]

Just went up to my mates to get Vice City back, but he's out. When I get it I shall be installing this.

Oh, and I've put a mirror up.

[Hell No..]

Im nearly there.

It just crashes when it starts loading.
