mentormike Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I have not a clue how this occured but heres the gist: When ever I do a long jump and it cuts to slow-mo it takes it's sweet time going back into normal mode. Sometimes it takes as little as 1-2 min, sometimes considerably longer... Upto 20-30 minutes. This is on ALL jumps where slow-mo cuts in. The interesting portion, is it's only on this save file. New games, other save files, do not have this effect. Now I'm not sure exactly what caused this, but I lived with it for a while - however, now as I try to get 100% completion I'm facing 15-20 unique jumps as well as PCJ playground and this is going to be HELL if I don't find some type of resolution. Specs: P4 1.4 GHz 1GB ram, radeon 9600 128mb card, elitegroup mb - Tho this seems irrelivant since it's not a static problem. Any help appreciated.

Demarest Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 "Doctor, it hurts when I do this." "So don't do that." Use one of your other saves or start a new game. But then you already knew that.

mentormike Posted November 5, 2003 Author Share Posted November 5, 2003 Yes I did think of that... Kept 2 save files, one that I used to save nightly when I was finished, and one that I would use between missions/etc. Unfortunately before I noticed both had the issue. Any other suggestions? Anyone else have this problem? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/117561-freezing-on-jumps/#findComment-1328756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentormike Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 Well while I wasn't able to fix the problem, I did discover something that makes it far more tolerable in the event anyone else crosses this problem. Once the jump is completed and all has settled, straight alt+tab out of vice city and then return, may need to be done twice. Make sure not to hit escape before alt+tab, hit it while viewing the slow moving game. If anyone finds an actual solution to this issue plz let me know.

Twiddlenem Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 This is a common bug. The stunt camera bug. People say it happens when you get close to completing 100%. That's why it's only affecting one of your save files. No indication of any fix for it. I think Rockstar's just gonna hang us out to dry on this one.

Cartoon Corpse Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 your pc specs are close to mine! thanks for the info. i guess i'll go ahead and focus on my jumps (at 52%) before this has a chance to bite me! i do the staggered double save thing you do too. hopefully if i discover a crappy problem i don't have to drop back all the way to the beginning. if it's a no win situation.

mentormike Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 Well to add on to the joy of the unique jumps I'm now at 98% complete, and have 34/36 unique jumps done and can't find the last 2. If I told you EACH jump was done 5-6 times, it's probably because I forgot the other 5 or so times I tried. All 36 jumps were performed... over and over again... But some where 2 aren't registering. I don't know if this is bad coding, or related to the camera freeze or what. Needless to say, I'm less than satisfied. Ontop of myself attempting these jumps, I sent my file out to a few friends to give it a shot (incase it was my fault), so far no good news. Each went thru the jumps at least once fully, and not a sign of the last 2. Rockstar had no good news for me, as apparently they don't "handle" these types of situations. They just make the game and collect the money - they don't believe in customer satisfaction. If anyone is interested in wasting endless hours trying to help me get that last 2% shoot me at email at [email protected] and I'll send ya the game file to play with.

I'm at 54% and just got the stunt camera 'bug'. i jumped over on ammunation, fell off and layed there (camera was way back in front corner of roof (ammunation) 100yds away? well anyway, I just reloaded saved game, resume had no effect. (interesting though the wind kept blowing and the birds kept singing...so not really a freeze, i just had no control of the game. well at least we know it's not necesarily due to being close to 100%.
