I actually experienced the anti-piracy measure in GTA IV in a PC shop :P
dO it for gta4
Too bad those things ain't popular in Vietnam.

Well, it's not "Cocaine Protection" so it makes sense.

That hurts deep for someone that likes single player games.
Oof
It remembered me of Gran Turismo Sport, it has its solo parts, but they're nowhere near the detail of GT4, tve last one that didn't have online content. It's a shame that many big developers are forgetting about single player gameplay

Sounds like the developer collected any bugs and glitches they had and reforged them as a crack protection :D
That's actually clever
Cracked percent speedrun would be fun to watch.
good idea btw
I was thinking the same way
True
Don't agree. There are no boundaries for a speedrunner, because they can complete the game in less than 12 minutes so the disabled garages are not a problem.
As a result, you will see a speedrun with a rain and empty radar.
What about any% no ssu ?
Now I want somebody to speedrun this failcracked version
potato potato potato potato potato potato potato they can skip the missions
They did actually, just not on youtube..
A guy finished the game in about 8 minutes
PlittHD i cracked my own crack ouchy
There's a guy who speedrun the vanilla game in more than 8 minutes. I'm pretty sure his speedrun would be more or less the same.
When I was 6 I got gta vc and got the following anti security measures
- Every time I fail a mission it rains
- No audio in the radio(I thought the radio was just there for no apparent reason)
- No pedestrians
- Can't save the game
- Can't see the stats
I thought all of this was part of the original game But after 10 years seeing this video got me realise that I was playing the cracked version.

Any % speedrun with cracked version. Sounds like lots or raging and smashing keyboards.
but crack% will have two versions: one where the game is cracked and one where the speedrunner is on crack.
I wanna see pirate% become a speed run category.

@@nameloc2035
This might be possible through disabling certain checks and changing values to make the game believe that it is being run from a cracked version. This is all speculation though as I have no idea exactly how the game works in this regard.

@@therandomgamer18 absolutely. thats true for every single rockstar game btw. The Pirates nowadays have absolutely no problem beating anti piracy measures which is why most companies dont bother with more then a DRM, hoping that itll buy them enough time to rake in sales and frustrate impatient pirates into one, but even those get beat.

That was really interesting because i remember the cybercafes here in Argentina to normally have this issues and i didn't know why until now. Thanks Vadim
8:07 This specific anti-piracy measure triggers randomly on the Steam version. It also disables mission markers, so driving around aimlessly until you bump into a pink tower of light will not work, though you can still trigger them if you stand in the right spot. Fortunately blips & markers come back in this case after you leave the area, presumably as the game runs another check and realises you have a legitimate version afterall.

so real it is still hurts :(
"Well it's Just as empty as Rockstars plans for GTA5 singleplayer content" Ouch, that's a burn. A sad burn
The weather rain code is pretty smart. One big reason I love replaying Vice City is that tropical Miami feel to it. If my first experience playing it was like this, VC would be just as untouched as GTA 3 is to me.
Funny cuz "tropical" literally means tons of rain. Real life Miami during the summer rains every day and thunders most days

I pirated GTA IV, It had drunk cam activated, I thought it was just a bug, So I found solutions online! _Just copied 2 DLL files and never had the problem!_
I bought a copy, and the fact that "feature" was so well known, when I had a control bug that caused constant rotation, I actually got banned (temporary) from the R* forums for asking what was happening.... Wasn't impressed.
@@tin2001 LOL! Well, Now u know what was going on!
@@tin2001 lmaooo
Ahh, DLL's 😊
I brought GTA IV, but still had to pirate it cuz the garbage DRM didnt let me play it.
You can basically make a book of what Rockstar devs did with their game behind the scenes.

👀Yes❗️, thank you for making another awesome vid on one of my favorite childhood games👏🏼
Player: is this a bug or a feature?
R*: Yes
"Well kids, think twice. I just another day for you and me in paradise." Just great!

That was great!
Without pickups, you cannot buy properties, so you cannot make revenue, which won't trigger the last couple of missions. So no, without pickups, you can't complete the game.
True, but as explained here, since there's only a 12.5% chance of that happening each time a fire truck is spawned by the game, it's technically possible to get to that point in the game without the pickups being disabled, it's just not very likely.
And since you can't accidentally save once that triggers, simply reload the last save... If you play like me, that's one mission wasted.
@@tin2001 You can't. The game crashes when loading a save after 45m of playtime is achieved on the save.
Great video, also i’ve read a reddit users comment in which he said that because he was playing unlegitimate copy of the game only the wildstyle radio was available (the pirate radio)
FH didn't find anything about pirate radio, so I guess, that dude used a bootleg.
gtaforums.com/topic/907701-i-mightve-found-vcs-anti-piracy-measure/ check it out, my bad it wasn’t a unlegitimate copy he replaced an .exe
@@bisis98 It was a crack based on a RIP (like MYTH/PDM and other groups used to do, and groups like DS and SiMPLEX continue to do) so the calls to the radio files were set to reference only the one radio file to allow the others to be removed from a RIP copy to save space. Full ISO (BIN/CUE) format ones with proper retail cracks wouldn't have this behavior.
Definitely NOT anti-piracy though.
the recently undeceased yes , as i said above wasn’t anty-piracy. I guess I’ve just asume the same thing as the guy who posted 😂
,,Can you complete the game?"
Vadim: *well yes, but actually no*
Complete and utter honesty, this video was awesome! please do more of this!..
5:22 holy crap goddamn, nice dodge sir.

Man this was awesome. Thanks for the infos.
I played GTA VC pirated version 13 years ago (3 years after game's release) but did not face any problems luckily hahah
6:34 finally i know how to change the size of the moon
Nice :) please do one on GTA SA if there are any anti piracy measures
That broken radar one isn't so bad since I literally memorized Vice City some years ago.
One of my favorite games, been playing it 16 years, and there's still something cool to find out about it!
What an awesome video man, subbed!!
Fun fact: In many of the cracks you can find the sniper rifle is still butchered. It can be tedious to find working versions for certain mods (ie old asi mods that were compiled before better compatibility with various versions was achieved).
Nice :), do it on other games of GTA Series :D
Great video

More effort in anti-piracy annoyances 99% of people will never see in VC than most AAA games have in their entire product now.
Love this kind of content, its like piracy history, i love it.
I've actually seen people play this when it first was released at an internet cafe. And trust me, all of them were cracked.
I loved this video! You should definitely do more detailing other games like this, especially with GTA IV!
not gta 4, he shall make sa
when the protection is so good you need to put extra work into it to activate it XD
A good video to cover to the old bugs of the game.
ah this game brings back a lot of nostalgia!
I had no idea, admittedly I played the shit out of the cracked version back in the day and it played as normal.
But cracked version doesnt have blood
Voltage gamer what?
Lol same thing with me, i once played a cracked version for days and never noticed a difference, that was like 10 years ago 😂
It was cracked properly 3 days before release. That's how much the anti-piracy measures failed. Hell, even GTA IV only took like an extra week.
@@Arkiasis As most of the sales are done within a few weeks, that one week delay means much more than all these anti-piracy measures listed in this video combined.
I want to see someone do a speedrun on the broken, anti-piracy Vice City. That needs to be a thing.
Someday...
hahaha bought them a while two days wow. really glad we have people like yourself
Sounds like an interesting mode for speedrunning.
8:22 Kinda funny but sad too
In my opinion, every anti-cracking measure that gets implemented into games should be like the one that got recently added in BeamNG.drive. You just get a friendly message and a cool menu background, and the rest stays the same. And as for DRM, it should be wiped from the face of the earth, it only gives the customer an inferior experience, while pirates eventually remove the DRM, giving them the best experience. Treating pirates like sub-humans is never a good idea, and piracy has it's place in the world.
Agree, so many times I had to resort to piracy to have a better experience, like downloading the No-CD patch for the game I legally bought just because I was getting worried for the CD I had to take in and out numerous times, and for the CD-ROM too - these things can take damage from extensive use, you know.
True, me for example, a game here costs 1/3 of the salary here in Brazil, i don't work so no way to buy games, so BeamNG is a good way, they should not treat piracy as a enemies
What's the message?
so hows cracked vice city going for you?
@@DrDucklesworth Cracked Vice City is hardly any different from the real version.

Hey Vadim! I wish you had given a bit more information about this in the video - I was wondering how did people crack VC 3 days before release? How is that possible? Did they somehow get the source code early or is it possible to write a crack without the game code?

you forgot a anti piracy measure it is if the game is cracked it doenst have any AUDIO

Huh, never knew that triggers were implemented in older games like VC.

Wow the game play footage makes me feel old I remember playing this when it first came out and thinking about great the graffics were cut to now on my X-box 1 playing RDR2
You should do GTA IV, because the drunk cam is not the only thing that pirated copies have. For example, in No.1, Brucie's Comet is locked if you have a pirated version, computers don't work, the final mission breaks, Uncle Vlad breaks, Clean Getaway breaks, the bank doors don't open in Three Leaf Clover and the police computer doesn't work
zolika1351 thats so wierd how pirated versions do crazy sht like that
The final mission in GTA IV was broken for most PC players though.
I remember that cause I bought the game for PC played to the last mission and wasn't able to climb into the helicopter after the dirtbike jump. I tried getting the QTE, died sweating pressing that fucking button but I was just not able to make it.
For some reason they coupled that event to your frame rate and never fixed it for the PC port (not like GTA IV was a good port to begin with).
So with 30fps on console pressing a button at least every 10 frames was easy. But doing so with 200fps makes it much more difficult. Even 60fps was near impossible to do.
The fix was to pause the game, get in the task manager, bind GTA IV to a single core only, get back in game, climb onboard while everything is choppy af, and switch it back to normal cores.
To be honest these things were only in the first ever pirated release. I played the Razor version like 8 years ago and it had no problems, ran just like the paid game.
@@Finkelfunk i tried it last sommer and was stuck in that helicopter for ages but i restarted the game ans chose the other mission so i ended the game
