Cartoon Corpse 0 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 you have latest drivers, directx, etc? your machine is comparable to mine. i run everything maxed in options (p4 1.4G, 9700pro, 1G rdram). i'd think you should be fine. do you run game by itself or with lots of other programs running? what are your game options (eg draw distance, frame limiter,etc)? you trying diff stuff with that? mine is gorgeous.

Mass 0 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 This happened to me several times with my GeForce4 Ti4600. So you have the latest Catalyst 4.2 drivers, and a good video card that runs smooth right? Well, I think the most common problem is the frame limiter that has been disabled. That's all I can say. Nevertheless, that's a good video card you have there. A Radeon 9600 Pro should run smooth as silk. Once again, go to options, display options, and select frame limiter on. This is one of your best friends since it helps a lot for loading textures. Link to post Share on other sites

coconut 0 Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I'm having the similar problem and my system is 2.4Ghz, 512mb ram, 9700 radeon. Here is the screen shot in front of the Malibu club but walls are missing, it takes a while to load up the texture. http://members.cox.net/playsite/malibuclub.jpg. Link to post Share on other sites

That picture you posted is because you got into the Malibu other than walking through the entrance. You bypassed where the interiors are supposed to switch. Link to post Share on other sites
coconut 0 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 No. I was in the car (you can see) driving up to the side (outside) of the club. Link to post Share on other sites
Wu Masta James 0 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Have you guys tried the 1.1 patch? Did you tweak your video card at all? Try uninstalling the game, restart pc, then reinstall it. And if you got any mods installed for the game try removing them. Link to post Share on other sites
coconut 0 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I have the 1.1 patch installed. What kind of tweaking are you talking about? I haven't tried uninstall/reinstall either. Maybe I should do that. Will my saved games be OK after uninstalling and reinstallation? I don't use any mod so that's not the problem. Link to post Share on other sites
Demarest 24 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Yes, your save game will remain intact. If you're going to reinstall, be sure to first delete My Documents/GTA Vice City User Files/gta_vc.set. When you reinstall, you will have to set up your options again.

Atomic 0 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Turn the frame limiter on and open the side of your case and make sure the fan on the video card is turning. Link to post Share on other sites
Stretchnutter 2 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 (edited) Switching to Win98 Compatibility mode on XP helps a bunch...also with frame limiter off... usually i get this problem if i move the folder... i have to reset the compatibility option again, it helps a lot. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/games/l.../compatmode.asp GeForce Ti4200...
