In that section select LEGACY COMPONENTS then DIRECT PLAY. Then Click Okay. It should go through some processes, make some changes then everything should work just fine. Hi, Thanks but it doesn't work for me : after doing this, at the next launch of the game, it says that GTA : VC needs at least Direct X 8.1.
Unfortunately GTA Vice City is not compatible for Windows 8.1 hence this game won’t work properly in Windows 8.1 . If you still want to run GTA Vice city on Windows 8.1, I suggest you to run it in Compatibility mode. Refer to the steps below to run the application in compatibility mode: Get your apps and devices working in Windows 8.1. http
