Title: Difficulties with VCMP
Post by: Nylez on December 17, 2012, 07:26:22 am
When I try to connect to a server through VCMP something strange happens.

As soon as I login I get the 640 x 480 x 32 settings.

As we all know, you should adjust that in the standard Vice City game.

But that's the problem, my VCMP doesn't copy the stats I make on the normal gtavc.exe

What to do?

It could be a problem that my VCMP has the "Run as Administrator" icon on it.
I hope someone can help me with this! :D

Greetings,

Greetings,
If you are running it in compatibility mode on Windows Vista or above, copy your settings file to the "C:\Users\Public\Documents\GTA Vice City User Files\" directory.

Which file is the settings file?

Thanks. :)

It is there.

The right one, for single play.

But on MP it doesn't take over those settings ...

You need to copy it to the other directory I mentioned in my first post. Then run VC:MP and it should read from it.

Wow, what a strange problem. It never does to me. It works fine, I setted it to 1024x768 in single player and it works the same in multiplayer.  :trust:

He's using compatibility settings in the original server browser to fix the crash spam upon closing it. This has the side-effect of this settings file issue. He simply needs to copy it to the correct place.

Oh ... sorry.
Bad readings.

Thanks!

I'll see if it works.

It got fixed thanks to a tip from Kessu.

Just had to change the compatibility of gtavc.exe to the same as vcmp.exe
