In celebration of ten years since the release of Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Rockstar games is releasing multiple items for sale in relation to vice city. One of course being the Vice City Game app for Iphone,Ipod,Ipad android devices such as android..
Vice City is the one game that everyone loved to play back in it’s release. In fact, at one time, the gang from MTAVC.COM Modded GTA VC to be a multiplayer video game, when it originally was not. The question I have to ask is, if you take the installer multiplayer modded files, and dragged them into your mobile device, can you get on the multiplayer servers and play MTAVCMobile??
Good question, is ” Will Rockstar games make another funny game like this one? Vice City was the more Humorous of the three games in that set (GTAIII GTAVC and GTASA).
Let’s hope that by the sells numbers from this cell phone app, Rockstar games sees what element in this one, makes it so great
To celebrate the 10th anniversary, there will be a series of commemorative assets released, including never-before-seen artwork and a brand new anniversary trailer highlighting some of the most iconic scenes and music from the game.

From What I see, There is nothing lost on my end. The game plays very good. The shadows still look good like they did in patch six. The trees look quite well also. Game play was very smooth. Some of it felt a tad too smooth. But i am not complaining about that. it’s just i am used to certain things lagging a whole lot . When it doesn’t I kind of over steer.
one tiny error during install.
Install Error
This error is nothing. It just confused windows lol. Everything was fine.
Patch seven, very good. I didn’t even have to update drivers this time. But still waiting on latest Nvidia and ATi drivers to be released.
GTA IV PATCH 7 / EFLC PATCH 2 Gets
9/10 from me.
I would say full ten but there is a tree issue I see from time to time.
The only risk free way to install the patch is to boot up the game. Anything else and you risk a virus from some jerk who may have manipulated the file. My machine locked up while trying the install. I had to CTRL ALT DLT to crash the game so I could look on Rockstar’s website. There was no physical download, just a bunch of information about the patch. Well pretty much the same stuff you see below.
One of the members of Rockstar Torronto has come to the GTAFORUMS and posted us plenty of information of what the patch gives us.

There are some great features with the new patch. Video settings .
New video settings
With the new patch they remove the mandatory Social club sign in.
Social Club is stripped out
with the removal of social club, there was a removal of shortcuts from the desktop. I seemed to have gotten an error.
but it was meaningless I think.
Error during the update GTAIV
BYE Bye Social Club
We get a new splash screen after the install. The new splash screen shows Episodes From Liberty City.
New GTAIV SPlash Screen
I try to load the Episodes and see if I can buy it, but i think I was a day early. So i got a connection error.
Live not connecting Episodes
I will try again later after the sales level out.
They added market place as an option during boot of game.. Cool. I of course will be buying the cd copy.
Market place button for gtaiv pc
I have noticed a 7 degrees F difference when the Game link is blinking at the top of the screen, and a seven degree drop when i finally click the dang thing and get windows live opened. When I exit back out, instant temperature drop and frame rate increase.
After driving around and tweaking the heck out of my video settings, Air cleaning my heatsinks, replacing fans, cleaning up my start up processes, I started playing the game with a desire to explore. I stumbled into something kind of not good.
Yep Tree shadows are flickering.
So I moved to the Video settings to check what I had the settings at. you tell me what you think.
I seem to be bogging down really bad. I just recently did a motherboard upgrade so I can actually run dual channel Memory. That upgrade I did to my machine did magic for me. I jumped from 22fps up to 45 frames per second. That is a huge jump. I could then change my settings to near max for my video memory, but this patch killed that. I am back down, way down. with the video settings as smooth as i can get it, 17 fps .
I am not one to bash Rockstar and I appreciate all of the work they are doing. So I will not bash. I will instead ask you for your tech support.
Dual 9500 gt 512mb (sli on or off it does this)
AMD 5600+ dual core

XFX 750 A mobo black edition
Well I could not get the game to work anymore. The game crawled to about 10-15 FPS after that patch. So I completely uninstalled teh game and reinstalled. Dropped back to 1.0.4.0 Patch (aka patch 5). Turned off Anisotropic filtering in video card settings. Also turned off Anti-aliasing. Both were set to run by application control. So for gta in the 3d settings, I turned it off. Getting an average of 45 Frames per second.
Now if you want to try and roll youyr current install back to that, you have to reinstall rgsc.
I can’t walk you through how to save your settings, I didn’t take that step. I went with a full fresh install.
It seems like it would be easy. Good luck. Report back on how you did it.
****update 2****
There currently is no updated no cd crack yet for 1.0.6.0
I would like to put my game disk back in the case and keep it from getting scratched.
***update 3***
Ok, I found my answer.
I posted about about an error I got while installing.
but as I closed the error window I saw the install was still going fine.
I got my patch through live.
So this patch I just installed
is the exact same one.
Difference is, this time I did not have gtaiv running during the install.
And this time
The frame rates are a buttload better..
but I do have to say 1.0.4.0 plays much much smoother.
I still want to see if marketplace can be killed with xliveless and see if that speeds things up.
Game looks like it will be fun. I am ready for this. I just hope it has a few patches bundled. or is a newer modified version of gtaiv engine to run smoother. I have pure faith in Rockstar that it will all be fixed, and ready for game play. Just have to keep the trolls out of the gtaforums.com site and just let it be fun. Just wish they would give a list of specs of machines tested smooth. would give us a good idea of what parts to work with. :-)

The guys at Rockstar games Have a huge funny bone and a large heart. They us a clue or a distraction to the fifth Grand Theft Auto.
From the Grand Theft auto Clans Community.
What you need to do is go to do to see the wonderful Easter-egg they left us is right click http://www.rockstargames.com/v that link and save to your desktop and then open the file with VLCPLAYER. You are in for a prize of prizes.
Grand Theft Auto IV, has had a rocky run since the start. Many of us had a smooth install and smooth gameplay from the getgo. But many people had issue that almost seemed to be unresolved. The forums at gtaforums.com practically flipped upside down. Many posts had been sent by flamers and trolls but there where lots of real legitimate posts. So for the moderators such as CC (CharmingCharlie) there was a heavy steady task. Regular users such as myself spent hours trying to contribute, by helping the legit and reporting the blatant flamers. That is all important because There where actual Rockstar game programers that would frequent gta forums to get ideas and imput. As we actually found out at the release of patch one.
The first patch was clearly a quick fix to suppress the unruly scream-alots. I totally understand and was happy with the fact that someone was there to hear and tame the cries of the kids with bad installs. I don’t remember exactly what was shut off in the patches but I do remember like the hotdog stands disappearing, and then when they came back, deeper detailed controls for video settings had been enabled. Of course that was at a later patch. Third patch I believe.
The fourth patch well there really was not much to the fourth patch as far as we could see. In fact the guy from Rockstar Torronto informed us it was preparation for next few big moves. Some of us old schoolers suggested it was for Downloadable content for pc..We where slapped down by forum moderators that let us know there was nothing in the statement that suggested DLC, and they locked our posts. They don’t realize that half the game of GTA is speculating what is to come in next game and by reading to much into anything said by R*. That is the heaviest traffic to gtaforums. but what ever. We have since then proven this to be true with the release of the fifth patch we see tlad in the achievement area for pc gtaiv.
Cheats are now nearly impossible, the servers are now used like dedicated servers, meaning the game creator can now ban anyone on his/her server at any givin moment, we no longer have to wait for votes. I assume that someone will create a script that allows them to jump servers and bann people at random without being modderator or creator. until then I am super happy with what is available.
many many fixes with patch five.
Incase you have not found the link to the fifth patch, here you go.
Rockstar games mailed out the official news letter three days later than take two’s announcement .

I like music with no label. I love the idea of being independant with your distribution.
I like the way social networks work. I love the idea of free stuff with no backlash. Just express your feelings and share. Not record what you think people want to hear you sing and sell it for 99 cents a song to millions of people. A million people will not buy it.
You go there , you creat an account, you create a profile, you make your own calendar, on your calendar you list you events so people know what and when . We all get our own links in the iworkwithmusic site. but you have to be a member for a while and show activity. I mean it isn’t a super hassle but i do allot of the back end work manually. Meaning at firsat your profile-calandar will be something like http://iworkwithmusic.com/user/view.php?id=2&course=1 . After some time it will be changed to http://truxter.iworkwithmusic.com
I have not made that link yet , so… I know it does not work. Really my profile at the moment is pointless. It’s about getting you guys a place to put your stuff and let people listen to it. If you have a website where you sell your music, it’s ok if you link to that place. Just don’t turn the place into a link farm. I have the site set up with alot of pinging services, so everytime you make an update, the world knows about it instantly.
Sign up and make a mark on the calendar, Let’s give the people stuff to listen to.
