Hello im new to gta vc speedrunning. First i want to try speedrun with the USA version with replay glitch/trick/bug But not yet the japan version.

Here is what i have done: Installed gta vc with the german original cd.

My problem is now that the cd has some scratches and the game get stock (for a few sec) at some specific points of the run. So do i have to get a no cd exe?

Im also not sure what specific version i need for the speedrun 1.0 or 1.1? I get a little bit confused with all because of bloodpatch, censored, unensored,steam version...

So please tell me what i need and have to download to get an offical correct run

The game getting stuck may be explained by loading times: every time you enter another island or area the game loads the new stuff to use. This is purely because the game is old and wants to save memory for other stuff. When this happens, there's going to be a loading screen while it loads the new areas. People running the game mostly use SSD or ramdisc or something similar to minimize the loading times, hence they are barely noticeable (check https:// youtu.be/2gzbpVQPfOc?t=2629, 43:49 as an example). In case this is not the problem, I'd recommend trying a no-cd version or purchasing the steam version.

You can use any version of the game you have bought, and as far as I have understood you can use any official version of it. A lot of people used the steam version as it was pretty much the same as the original cd version before the JP version thing came out.

Good luck with the runs, I hope you can get them running! :)

Any version of the game is accepted. You don't specifically need a No-CD crack, but if your game is freezing every time you enter a car or change radio stations, then I'd suggest you get one of those to prevent the freezing. I think what you're experiencing is that, when you do that the PC spins up the CD and stops the game whilst doing so.

First of all thanks for the quick reply never thought of that quick response in this forum :D Thanks for the tip with the Ramdisk nevery heard of that before

So what you saying is that every versions are acceptable for an official correct run but for more speed, tricks/glitches you need a specific versions?

What i experince is that my original german cd from the old days isnt good for a speedrun with the rampage trick because i dont see them doesnt matter which language i pick there are not there. So there are some differences!

Has the steam version a no cd exe in there or over what stuff start it the game?

Overall im still a bit confused lol

The Japanese version is the fastest version because you can instapass the Cherry Poppers mission. In the regular version you need to do the Boatyard mission which takes more time. I'm sure someone else can explain it in more detail.
