up until now, laser been prefert, burnt @ 1x on the datasafe gen3 media, which ive never had any problems with,

looks like im not the only one tho, maybe its supposed to happen???

i will retest using another media and see if it happens then

You fancy posting the one that doesn't work to me mate??!?! ;)

Ta.

Mike ( Spagboll ) ... :)

gamespot said there were parts with lots of cops that made the FPS go way down (supposedly like GTA3, though ive never played either, still waiting for jap no swap for 10000...) but they never said anything about freezing...

i'd say try to get diff media/reburn/new copy

i have tryed reburning to verb at 1x but still the same i think its ment to happen

I have the original and this doesn't happen to me...

buy an original and have NO troubles...

ecko

its all because of a crap laser i have the same prob myself
time to buy a new laser

Well for me on traxdata I was driving along quite happy, and then I just fell through the road and started floating / falling to nowhere, because the graphics had not drawn in quick enough.

I also experienced the "loading" screen during the game but my game did not load back up, just froze!!!!

Ohhhhhhhh I am so mad. Bloody ps2 lasers v media wars

my game does that too! when i try and access the music in the car on some channels it just freezes

leoncooljj - what brand of disk r you using?

i know get Vice_City error reading DVD for like 5 secs then play resumes, mostly when there is alot of action on screen, 4 stars and cops all around me etc etc

Hi guys there is a way to decrease the slowdown - pause the game, goto the display menu and select TRAILS to OFF. It worked for me ;)

Turn the music all the way down and works fine for me.

But not he same without those 80's hits :(

The Same thing happened to me with GTA3. I found that burning at 1x on verbatim media helped, but didn't eliminate the problem. Eventually I gave up and got it on DVD-r (low quality media) it still happened but nowhere near as much, I will get GTA VC on high quality dvd-r and post results

Cheers

that defies the whole purpose of this forum then "Video Game Backup - PS2"

you are just stating the obvious mate,

i have an original and it happened to me once. It only happens because there are so many people and cars to load....as well as be able to which music at the press of a button. VC has a lot more action happening at once than gta3 did so, one could actually say that it pushes the ps2 power to the max. I've noticed that the people in this game interact with each other....just stop and look and get in real close and you can hear the people having a real conversation with each other....and i'm not talking about them just walking down the street and then just blurt something out. Anyway, i wouldn't call it a slowdown but just a misplaced load. Mine stopped loading popped up and 2 secs later i was back in the action.
