Asset Glitch glitch hunt thread
9 years ago

Yeah, Guy, that's the one I meant. The Cortez call currently fits pretty poorly, so I wouldn't be surprised if it saved time. Sonny call during Phnom Penh with adamzip after The Chase should save a bit of time as well, but that needs more testing.

Furthermore, I'd really want to find a way to break the autoscrollers. In S&D you can get away from the boat by doing a save warp, saving the game and loading the save file, but it crashes the game after a couple seconds like all in-mission save files. The setup is silly because you need a replay of both the save icon and rampage, but I suppose there's potential.

I only did a few test runs, but it seems setting up the replay during the Chase takes 15 seconds, so it's actually slightly slower than MP5 replay during Diaz call. Now the question is, does taking the call during S&D save that much time, according to my splits (I took the call before S&D in my PB, take in the marina in attempts) I lose only 6 seconds when I take the call properly, and I split at the end of S&D and at the end of Sir Yes Sir. Also, taking the call in the marina let's you land slightly quicker since you can turn the heli around while the call is active.

Hi! Has anyone experienced this kind of glitch? I duped Two Bit Hit using Asset Glitch Variant, turned out that it helps to get Avery's unique limo. So I decided to test if I would be able to complete the game after it, and after some play time this happened, though the pickup was absolutely normal at first. If I save the game and load it after quitting, it crashes when I get close to the mansion. But it doesn't if I pass any mission first, though the pickup gets flickering and the game still crashes if I collect the money. Not sure if it's really a by-product of mission duping, but I've never encountered it through normal gameplay. So, any ideas what else could have possibly caused this glitch?

Very nice.

One more thing: suppose you know that missions seem to crash the game eventually if duped with an asset. But they don't if you buy a specific property after you fail the first instance of the mission. Buying Hyman Condo helps in the case with Two Bit Hit. It's shown in this video I made: By the way, I did some research, and it appears that the assets where you're supposed to complete missions break if you use them for duping. There'll be no missions and save icon to be more precise.

That's interesting and it's nice to see that new things are still found :).

And I've forgotten to post about it but you can start two different missions at the same time with remote rampage (This was found in august so some people might know it but it seemed like a few didn't and that's why I'm posting it now).It works just like a regular dupe except that you go and start another mission instead of the same one again. I've done it with Treacherous Swine and Four irons (I think they need to be started in that order or the game will crash). Not much interesting things happened though, the marker to enter the house from Treacherous Swine disappeared and Four Irons could be completed as usual. Both missions did not get completed when one was completed. I might be wrong here since I haven't tried it but I think Treacherous swine can be switched to any other mission and Four Irons can be switched to any other mission as well that doesn't start withh a "real cutscene" such as all the Avery missions or Rub Out.

Here's a video of that glitch (I forgot to mute my mic so you can hear my button presses and sighs but atleast it isn't in 30sec intervals now :P)

And this is a useless glitch but this is what happens if you pick up the phone in BaB in a replay in the same way you pick up the Kruger in GA. (This is also the first glitch I found in this game, before the cc skip)(And mic isn't muted here either)

Found two glitches but don't know if the first one is old actually. The first one is an extended cutscene glitch and can be seen here.

The glitch goes away when you start a mission. You need a short phonecall to start it. If the phonecall is too long the game goes on as normal until you go to Diaz with Lance where the game usually softlocks. The second glitch is kinda strange and it allows me to skip the unskippable intro cutscene to Averys missions and gives me the golf clothes instantly for some reason. The glitch can be seen here

Not bad. Figured out how to get Avery's Stretch with this. Thanks, Bastant2!

Hey guys, not sure if it can be considered duping related, but I managed to save during the intro cutscene Just hit the pause button right after you have picked up the save icon and start a new game, then during the fourth part of the cutscene the save menu will appear.

The game crashes if you try to load this save. You can't close the save menu either. As far as I understand it, closing the save menu would allow the player to move in the cutscene. So my question is: what else could allow the player to move that could be triggered the same way?

Edit: People already know this, but since I didn't see it right away in this topic, I'll just leave the message here. :P

If you are on a mission with the 'on mission' variable set to 0/false, and then you kill yourself, the mission won't actually be failed. Instead most of the time the mission will just keep running and you can still pass it. I tried it with a few missions, of which:

Road kill: I was able to kill the dude after dieing, because the dude kept driving around and kept delivering pizzas

Hit the Courier: not duped, but just died with the on mission variable set to false, and the girl with the plates still got in the car and started driving, I didn't complete the mission, but I guess it's possible

Supply & Demand : I tried it with S&D, but sadly, it didn't work with this one since you are stuck in your seat and you can't jump out of the boat. I guess destroying the boat/killing Lance would still fail the mission, so I didn't even bother to try that. (tried it when Lance was 'driving' back towards the mansion, after killing everyone).

All Hands On Deck: The last one (All Hands On Deck) is a bit weird, since the mission itself will keep running, but you will fail it once you enter a random vehicle. I recorded this aswell, because at first I thought this 'glitch' only worked for this mission, but apparently this glitch also works with other missions. :P

No sound because I had kz_Frew's stream open in the background.

I used cheat engine for most of the testing (I haven't tested it that thoroughly). Tried it with rampage starting once (All Hands On Deck), and it gave the same result, so I think cheat engine is fine for testing purposes. All this was done using non-steam version.

Earleys: according to the internet, you can jump from Cortez's yacht onto an other boat and reach the mainland. and if you enter another vehicle while on land the mission will fail

OblivionWalker asked me to post this YouTube video for him, it's kinda related to what The_Seventeenth posted I think, he explains a lot in his video.

He also said he was able to dupe a rampage doing this, this is what he said:

after i advanced the save menu to the new game on the xbox, the screen is black but you can move yourself around. because i know Vice City like the back of my hand i went to the rampage like you do with any% and picked it up and saved a a second or two later. after i saved the rampage started and I then completed it, after that i loaded the save and completed the rampage but this time it respawned again.

He said you can ask questions in the comment section of his video if you want to know more.

Very interesting. I've tried to do it in the Android version which is most likely a port from Xbox, but it didn't seem to do anything, but now I tried again and it actually worked, though the cutscene doesn't seem to start at all and I hear the sound of the city not able to move because the buttons disappear while in the save menu. The game still crashes on loading such a save. But I decided to take a look at it with the save editor, and it says that I have all the hidden packages collected.
