Knightmare Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Make sure you aren't running any applications when you play Vice. Try playing at a lower resolution, go into options and turn down draw distance. RAM is cheap, and you *could* get a better video card...also, try looking on a site for a list of processes in Task Manager that you don't really need while playing games.

hollow08 Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 I'm not realy sure Vc is ment to be run on 98. I run a similar system (Athlon XP 2800+, GF4 MX440) under Windows 98 (not SE) and Vice City gets a steady 30FPS with frame limiter on (without it get 80FPS+ but textures load extremely slow).

Demarest Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Lol I haven't used that in ages, try upgrading to xp or another os. I'm not realy sure Vc is ment to be run on 98. LOL That IS why I asked though. 98 is more likely to get "gummed up" in time. You may have to reboot to play. Even then, it may get worse as you go. When I was using 98, I could play fine until I started alt+tabbing in and out of the game. That's actually WHY I switched to 2000. Or if you've had 98 installed for a long time, you may need to reinstall it. I love 98, but it has its weaknesses.

alex23 Posted January 4, 2004 Author Share Posted January 4, 2004 i installed xp professional edition but the frane is still the same,now i uninstalled xp and installed 98 again,the game moves better but only for 3 or 4 days and then it begin making the same problems Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/122746-helpme-cause-i-am-desperate/#findComment-1436672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demarest Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Okay, first of all, you've barely had enough time since your last post to install XP and then 98 again, so... By 3 or 4 days, do you mean real time or game time? If it's real time, that's good because on the best-administrated 98 machines go 3 or 4 days without a reboot. If it's game time, then you may have to tweak you 98. Setting your swap file to the correct size and statically may help.

Trows Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 it was real time.. Yet, you posted that the same day you posted this. Try turning frame limiter on and lowering your drawdistance or resolution.
