copperwire93 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 To R* I've got this ugly lamplight, i wonder if this erm... light effect normal? I'm running WinXP 32Bit SP3, it is retail version. I'm running the game with this settings Video Mode: 800 x 600 (60 Hz) Texture Quality: Low Render Quality: Medium View Distance: 20 Detail Distance: 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelated Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Looks like sand. Strange effect indeed. Could be your card since it's under the minimum specs. What is your system configuration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar Toronto Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 That is not correctly displayed. Try changing your shadow density to 1. Another thing to try is increasing your resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatsCool Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 The 8500 is slower than a 7600 no wonder that those graphic bugs happen and the game must be slow as hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak2121 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 The 8500 is slower than a 7600 no wonder that those graphic bugs happen and the game must be slow as hell Actually 20-30 FPS seems normal to you after playing the game for 1 minute.

One-time Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 The 8500 is slower than a 7600 no wonder that those graphic bugs happen and the game must be slow as hell Nope, I can play it flawlessly at 20-35 fps. With my own tweaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperwire93 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Damn! R* It's happen again, even though i changed my resolution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-time Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I get this issue too, but it's not really a big deal though, because I like running my Infernus better than walking on the streets and shooting down peds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're right, It's not a big deal. I should be grateful at least I can run this game with 20fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chngdman Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) it is because you are running in 800x600, this gets less and less apparent and at 1680 is no more. Same goes for other shadows. This game is not made for such small resolution and will run just as good for you on higher resolutions (up until you meet your systems limit, yet if you are already there, it is time for new machine) and will never look it's most beautiful until you go to above 1680. It is no bug, that light and shadowmap or whatever is limited by the res. The bigger you go, the less lines you will see.

One-time Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Well, the 8500 GT won't run this game playable at above 800x600, and I even have to force the game running at 640x480 to get more than 25 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chngdman Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 damnnnn that sucks. I wonder if it is definitely the GFX card though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperwire93 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yup, this card sure weak, my game lag if i turn to 1024x768. Still i will use it until no more future pc games it can handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zosozoso Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) I dont think this is a video card issue because I now have the same problem with my hd 4850 running at 1680x1050 after i switched my ati drivers to the sapphire ones. Changing shadows doesn't help either. It might be an issue with my sapphire drivers, or (more likely) you may need to do a clean reinstallation of your nvidia drivers I didn't run driver sweeper, just used ati's driver removal program so that may be why.
