"gta_vc.set" is not found!

[Gamer100Dev]

Describe the bug & To Reproduce*
This bug happens when I launch reVC , it fails to create a window. Then I cd to Grand Theft Auto Vice City's directory and launch it from there and I get this output. I'm currently on FreeBSD but this also happens on Mac OS as a friend tried to play it recently, and he had the same output.

Expected behavior
Launch and play the game normally.

Output

Looks like this is the problem, it should create a setting if it doesn't find it but it doesn't. File: /src/skel/glfw

#ifdef LOAD_INI_SETTINGS
		// At this point InitDefaultControlConfigJoyPad must have set all bindings to default and ms_padButtonsInited to number of detected buttons.
		// We will load stored bindings below, but let's cache ms_padButtonsInited before LoadINIControllerSettings and LoadSettings clears it,
		// so we can add new joy bindings **on top of** stored bindings.
		int connectedPadButtons = ControlsManager.ms_padButtonsInited;
#endif

		int32 gta3set = CFileMgr::OpenFile("gta_vc.set", "r");
		
		if ( gta3set )
		{
			ControlsManager.LoadSettings(gta3set);
			CFileMgr::CloseFile(gta3set);
		}
		
		CFileMgr::SetDir("");

It might not be the problem. While looking at the output, I figured that the same output comes from GTA 3 as well, the error might be different..

From what I can see its causing a segmentation error after the part I said prior. Here it is

• Gamer@BSD:~/Documents/GTAVC/GTAVC $ ./reVC

@Gamer100Dev Hey, I'm on Intel macOS and have the same trouble... Did you find a solution ?
I'm using prebuild binaries.
re3 works perfectly but reVC does not.

I wanted to try to fix it as I have some dev skills but I have errors with librw while building and even building librw alone don't work in my case...

[joyel24]

I deleted everything and restarted from 0.

Not sure but I suspect my gta vc program files was currupt, during install, it never asked me the 2nd CD and there was probably missing data.

But it wasn't the only one reason:
Other thing that I can say is, the pre-built reVC I found on archive.org is still not working for me. It only worked with a fresh build with laster miami branch of this repo.
