Please allow me to question you.

1. Do you have any.dll files in your game directory? (The only acceptable.dll is mss32.dll, which should be located in your game folder.)


2. What error message do you receive when you attempt to connect to the server?

[Rootedox]

1. No, just the mss32.dll

2. i got this : https://imgur.com/jQxhPkj

Delete ddraw.dll from your game's directory. You are unable to join because the file "ddraw.dll" is located in your game folder; additionally, you will be unable to join the server until this dll is removed from your game folder.

But when i delete it, the game don't open! What should i do?

If you really need to use a ddraw component to get VC to work use this one as it should be allowed through the anti-cheat checks:

GTA III/GTA VC DDraw Component: (last update: 20.05.2018)
This ddraw.dll component fixes some game issues which couldn't be addressed from within the ASI due to the fact ASI files load relatively late in those games.

• If the settings file is absent, the game will now default to your desktop resolution instead of 640x480x16
• DirectPlay dependency has been removed - this should improve compatibility with Windows 8 and newer
• The game will not crash on startup if Data Execution Prevention is enabled for all applications anymore
• "Cannot find enough available video memory" error showing on some computers has been removed
• Path to the User Files directory is now obtained differently, hopefully increasing compatibility and future-proofing the games more
• FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING flag has been removed from IMG reading functions - speeding up streaming
• All censorships from German and French versions of the game have been removed
• Fixed an issue which would cause games to freeze if III/VC/SA were running at the same time

VC:MP is unable to locate your EXE. Return to the settings menu and look for the Vice City folder again.
