    Restarted 3x's and now it's working again. Instead of using the "auto-save slot", I'm using the 2nd save slot and now it works again.

    I take the "F U Rockstar!" back, until I encounter another problem.

    am I the only one who's having just some lag on the iPad Mini?

    for 90% of the time, it runs completely smooth. But when the screen is filled with cars, people, and buildings, and the sun shining; there is a bit of lag. It's kind of annoying.

    still a fantastic game though :cool:

    There may be very little lag initially, or while your nephew wanders around the city, but try playing the first mission, The Party, without having the thing crash. Even simply dying makes it stop.

    This isn't a jailbroken device, and from what I've gathered, these problems are being seen across that entire generation of device. I enjoyed playing the similarly-sized GTA III, which I recall crashed a fair amount when I bought it soon after its release. Things got smoothed out and it no longer crashes. I expect Vice City has sold and will continue to sell well enough to 4G users that RockStar will look to make good on compatibility-- to avoid groans and complaints at the very least.

    Who's figured out how to wheelie? Also I take it no cheats have been found yet? I know they excluded them intentionally on GTA3 but was really hoping to see them here.

    Either way, it' amazing to have one of my all-time favorite games on my iPad mini and iPhone. I couldn't be happier with my purchase (save for cheats and wheelies :)). The game runs/looks amazing and brings back sooo many good memories.

    Double tap the acceleration button to wheelie. You may fall off if you wheelie for too long.

    Can anyone reproduce the "bug" where the keyboard shows up?

    I'm thinking that might be where you enter the PC cheats.

    Yes launch the game with the keyboard split undocked. This duplicates the bug for me until I dock the keyboard and relaunch the app.

    I think this game is a bad joke.

    Let's be honest. I'm playing on my iPad2. The car controls are simply awful. There are barely no cars on the road, especially when i walk. When i drive, the cars pop-up like crazy in 2-3m in front of me.
    I haven't figured out how to manual change the target while shooting.

    And i don't know if i remember that well, but the map was a bit bigger than GTA 3 or the same size. This is much to smaller.

    I reeeeally hope they add cheats (especially weapons cheats). Without cheats GTA isn't even GTA.

    Agreed. I looked at the map and I was like: "Why is it so small?". I'm almost positive it's not this small in the actual game.

    I think even Gangstar: Rio's map is bigger than this game's map.

    Newp, that is the size of the actual map in the original game, believe it or not.

    What is truly missing is the authenticity of the city, what is otherwose typical for gta. But here:

    - fire, no firetrucks
    - dead people on the pavement, no ambulances

    that is a shame, I hope they fix it.

    How about mods?
