if your game is lagging try this

 

go to start>run>enter regedit

go to edit>find>enter "device presence" search for every instance of it

there should be 3 files

 

(default)

emulated

VxD

WDM

 

if they're all set to 1 change VxD and WDM to 0,if emulated is set to 1 and VxD and WDM to 0 set emulated to 0

and VxD and WDM to 1

 

Hope this works

 

GOODLUCK HOMIE

ok so i have a 9600XT and the game runs slow as hell!!

There is almost no diffrence between running it on 640x480 and running it on 1280X960...

 

i read that people with computers not as good as mine ran the game better...

 

 

I have the latest ati drivers and turning the sound to no support on Dxdiag only messes the sound in the game but it seems like the game is slightly faster....

 

 

any more ideas on how to make this game look normal?? even VC was better then this.

The Egg Man
Blunted' date='Jun 9 2005, 04:22'] I'm experaincing random crashes, sometimes they happen ten seconds into the game sometimes it takes ten minutes. I'm using a nvidia 6800 128 on an athlon xp 2400. some people have suggested it is my PSU or it is video card heat, but no other pc games have crasued this so it can't be my PSU and if it was the videocard overheating then the random nature of the crashes wouldn't exist since it would overheat relatively at the same point everytime.

 

If anyone else experiances this please post your setup and if a fix is found please post it and pm me.

I got a nVidia GeForce FX5200 and pretty decent cpu speed too (not sure of processor model) and I am expierencing the same thing. All my drivers are up to date so I don't have any idea why it keeps crashing.

i know how to delete this bug orangeraf i can now use the gym but im not sure about these i made many thing and i dont know which one deleted this bug,

 

 

 

1. one of them is to leave cj hungry and the muscle will go down,

 

2. or make an odd job i recomend you to make a race tournamnet because after i passed one i used the gym,

 

3. or the third choice is to wait to get the muscle down without geting cj hungry.

 

 

 

im not sure which one of these is the correct one, leave a reply here of your result an tell me

Can anyone please help me.

 

My computer crashes often when i enter or steal a car or motorcycle. It just jams and makes one sound constantly (i think its the first soound of the radio or something...) When this happens i cant do anything except push the reset button wich really upsets me. devil.gif

And since yesterday it jammed twice while already driving a car.

I know it must be something with my sound but i have a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 with the latest drivers so i dont get it

 

My specs are:

Windows XP + SP2

Amd Athlon XP 1800+ (1533 mhz)

512 mb RAM

Ati Radeon 9200se (128mb)

 

I hope someone can help me.

Greetz.

Hi guys,

 

Now here's a strange problem for you.

 

I installed GTA:SA as soon as I got it & it ran beautifully, I played it everyday for 3 weeks without a hitch... Then I got stuck on the old Learning To Fly missions so I tried the tip of using Barton's SAMission Builder to pass the mission. I followed the instructions, saved & recompiled the file, booted GTA:SA & it crashes, I try again... it crashes.

 

So I uninstall the game, re-install & it plays fine... the next day it's loading up fine, the GTA:SA Logo & copyright notice comes up as usual after the intro, then all goes black, no game menu & the mouse cursor appears in the center of the screen & that's it, my machine can't be used, I tried the ALT+CTRL+DEL to get out the game... no joy. I tried ALT+TAB... still no joy.

 

I've installed nothing new, when I first got the game I updated all my drivers & it ran from the first install fine, untill this Main.scm edit. Since then, I've re-installed GTA:SA 6 times, it works fine for 2 or 3 games, then on the next... black screen of death & I have to RESET my PC to return to normal.

 

Anyone have a problem like this where one minute it works, then the next it just won't load the menu. I'm running out of ideas. suicidal.gifblink.gif

 

EDIT: I've just re-installed GTA:SA using the Complete Installation option & everything seems to be working fine for now smile.gif. I'll keep you posted if the old black screen o' death appears.

Pedestrian Glitch (Thanks to Skyline_man)

Description: If you are using an nVidia FX5200 128 Card with DirectX 9.0c, you may experience pedestrian texture glitches.

Fix: Down-grade to DirectX 9.0b (Click here to download).

Status: Unconfirmed

 

Thank you so much this getting directx 9.0b fix worked and fixed my ped glitch which was making me not want to play/mod the game.....

 

To downgrade from directx9.0c just run the directx9.0b file and it will do it for you (instant fix for ped glitch for me ALMOST)

 

I say almost because they are better now but still giltch just a little sometimes it is much better thoe

Just installed it... Runs like crap. sad.gif While GTA VC ran beautifull. Prolly have to set FX quality to low. dontgetit.gif

 

Anyways, I have a Radeon 9200SE 128MB RAM (above recommended confused.gif) and an AMD Sempron [email protected] and 512MB RAM.

 

Also pedestrians are sometimes partly invisible. (is that the pedestrian texture glitch you guys mean?)

Actually, while your cpu is okay your video card is just about the bare minimum. I have an equivalent GF 5200 128mb card.
