GTA Vice City VHS Edition (Final Version)

GTA Vice City VHS Edition is a mod compilation that enhances the game and gives it a VHS atmosphere.

- VHS Shader Reshade

- 100+ new vehicles in the game style without replacing the old ones

- 20 new weapons, also without replacing the old ones

- Improved missions

- Adjusted game difficulty

- Improved controls

- New content, features, secrets, and much more

Attention!

I strongly advise against using any additional mods on top of this compilation (including auto-save mods) and removing or modifying anything in the compilation files.

Important info:

- This is a ready-to-play game image; you just need to unpack and play

- If you have low FPS, enable 16x anisotropic texture filtering in your graphics card settings for the game and set all other graphics settings to high performance

- The archive contains a full Russian voiceover from "GTA: Correct Translation" and voiceover from Kudos

- Screen resolution can be changed in the game folder in the GTAVC.WidescreenFix.ini file

- If the game window does not launch and just hangs during the process, terminate the process and restart. If it still doesn't launch, open GTAVC.WidescreenFix.ini and enter your resolution (not all resolutions are supported by the game)

- "Doesn't run on Windows 10, what to do?" — I don't know what to do, maybe set compatibility for the game with older Windows versions, or check the box in the game executable properties "disable scaling on high DPI settings" or set Windows interface scaling to 100%

- There is a bug. If you start a new game, new cars will not spawn in traffic; this can be fixed by restarting the game

- The compilation is 100% passable

Final version:

- 13 new side missions in the form of pager pickups scattered across the map.

- At the Ocean Drive Hotel, a 100% completion map is sold, marking hidden packages, unique jumps, and everything else needed for 100% completion, as well as a list of what is needed for this (The script by Dimzet for the in-game map has been redone: https://libertycity.ru/files/gta-vice-city/124393-karta-v-igre.html )

- A new radio station, Vice City FM (replaces custom radio).

- Various minor details.

- Tommy learned to swim

- All parked cars are locked. You can unlock them by holding the entry button (it looks like in the first Mafia)

Last update:

- A new headshot system (a shot to the head from any weapon becomes fatal). Huge thanks to SpitFire for this.

- Weapons now have spread.

- The game has been made more difficult.

- Some missions have been polished.

- It became easier to take down police helicopters.

- At the seventh star, a UFO arrives instead of a Hunter.

- The default HUD has been restored.

- An alternative "light" version of the VHS shader has been added to the archive.

- Some bugs have been fixed.

Installation: unpack everything into a new folder.

Old saves will not work.

If a black screen appears when launching the game in the menu, just press ESC a couple of times.

A more detailed description (I did not keep a list of changes and won't remember everything, so not everything is mentioned and some mods are quite minor)
