There's a bug in Vice City, known on the net as 'The unique jump glitch'
This is cut n pasted from a faq.
There is a UNIQUE JUMP GLITCH that will prevent you from getting a 100%
complete game. After the PURPLE NINES GLITCH in GTA 3 you would think Rockstar
might consider beta testing a game before it's release. But I guess that would
make too much sense.
The Unique Jump Glitch works like this - When you attempt a Unique Jump the
game goes to a cut scene, which is in slow motion. Upon landing the jump,
several things happen in a split second. First, the game gives you a Insane
Stunt bonus. Then the game gives you a Unique Jump bonus. Next the game goes
back to real time.
In theory that's how it's supposed to work. In reality however, there is a
problem. There are five Unique Jumps that require you to hit something shortly
after you land. This can cause the game to revert to real time BEFORE you are
given credit for making a Unique Jump.
Unfortunately, it seems the game now counts you as having made a Unique Jump
even though you didn't get credit.
If you have successfully landed a jump 20-30 times and have not been given
credit. Start a new game and attempt the jump again, if you get credit in the
new game, congratulations, you have the glitch.
My original save file was ruined by the glitch and is still stuck at 94%
complete. I had to start a new game to get 100%. In an attempt to defeat the
glitch I have attempted one jump in my original game well over 200 times. I
have tried every car, motorcycle, tank or truck in the game and still can not
get credit for a Unique Jump. I can start a new game and get credit EVERY
SINGLE TIME I make that jump.
It's happen to me so i either a) carry ln regardless or b) start again :(
Do you fancy rewording this into a news article? I would, but i'm in a rush. We've moving house...
