Vice City has its share of bugs, as one might expect with a project of its ambitious scale, but the one that always completely blew my mind was the inability to access the Havana Outfit in Little Havana without performing some bizarre jumping ritual for a ridiculous amount of time.
Now that Vice City is out on PC, we can fix that...so I did.
The fix comes in two flavors: "Easy", and "Tiny".
"Tiny" is a 3KB download, but you have to use a CollEditor during the installation.
"Easy" is a 160KB download (which in these days of broadband is pretty tiny anyway), but you get to simply skip the CollEditor steps.
Both require you install and use an IMG Editor.
Instructions for installation are included in "Readme.txt" in the Zip files, as well as links to locations for downloading the CollEditor and IMG Editor.
The files are currently hosted on a FilePlanet mirror which shouldn't have any lines even on the "Public" servers, but you're welcome to mirror this file anywhere you like as long as the zip archives stay intact with the original ReadMe files.
Links:
[ vicecityhavanafix-tiny.zip ]
[ vicecityhavanafix-easy.zip ]

(If either link does not appear to work at first, give it another click or two.  I have personally verified that the FilePlanet links are active.)

A note for our Non-English-Speaking friends: Feel free to translate the ReadMe.txt files and include an -extra- translated ReadMe file in the Zip for "Foreign Distribution".

Thank you, and goodnight!

Nicely done Ted, but just to let ya know it really doesn't take that much time to get the Havana outfit.

You go get an Angel from the Greasy Chopper and bring it to the place where the Havana outfit is (takes about 2 mins) you blow it up inside with a grenade and walk on top of it. Then you just jump at the door until your head is above a yellow portion of the ceiling then you jump at the Havana outfit and fall through the floor and appear back outside. (It only takes a minute to do this if you are experienced at doing this)

I can do this whole process on my PS2 game within about 4 mins. If you don't want to spend time getting the Havana outfit again then just go and save your game so that if you die, you can just load your save game. tea  

It sounds like more work than it actually is. Works quite well for me now. yes

Well this is the PS2 version I'm talking about so you can't just walk through the door and get it because of the invisible wall.

Step 12 in the ReadMe file:

Quote:
12) Wander into the Clothing Shop in Little Havana to pick up the Havana outfit and be the toast of the town in your classy new duds, and ponder such mysteries as: "Why did Rockstar fix, for the PC version of Vice City, the fun collision file bug that allowed you to get under the islands from beneath Vercetti Estate, but not fix the glaring bug that prevented you from getting the Havana Outfit?"

You've gotta have a damned gamespy account.  Bleh.
The havana outfit is probably the best in the whole damn game.  Having it on with the minigun just looks SO Sylvester Stalone! tounge

A number of other Vice City Mod sites have copies of the file posted for download as well, if you don't want to register a free account with FilePlanet.

I don't understand. In my PS2 version I walked right in and got the outfit. Is this glitch only on PC?

Strange.
You just walked in and got the Havana outfit?
I can't say I was ever able to perform such an act.
This is after you've completed the Two Bit Hit mission, correct?  The outfit is in a different place during the mission and after it's completed.

Yea I'm pretty sure I waltzed in there and got it. I didn't try it after that. It might have glitched and allowed me to go in. Ill try again.

The Havana outfit is only stuck if you do avery missions before Cop Land. Leave avery missions till last. U can get the outfit when it is in the corner because the shops roof is fake. Ride a bike in, get on top of it, keep jumping towards the top of the doorway
U can then jump straight through the outfit and fall off the world. U be outside wearing it then
