true_blue Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Not sure if this is a bug or a crappy game design but when I am in los venturas for instance.. assets in san fierro don't increase and the dollar sign just has nothing there when I come back to it. it doesn't even say $0.. then If I wait around for a while it starts ticking up again to say $25.. then I leave and come back and its still $25 days later >.< I am on v1.0 so maybe this is a bug but is there any way of fixing this without updating the game?? Obviously I want to stay 1.0 to keep my mods working.. Oh just FYI I am using a Speedometer mod, a GPS mod, a fast load mod and a display settings mod. Just out of curiosity.. is there a mod that implements the same bug fixes that the official patch does without disabling the ability to use game mods?? Cheers!

lil weasel Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 It's a quirk of the game. Simular happenings with the Girl Friends. If you don't remain in the area you won't be bothered by them, and not dating them won't count against CJ.

true_blue Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 ah ok thanks!.. kinda sucks though considering most of the game is played outside of San Fierro and by the time you acquire these assets its almost time to leave the area anyway. It was better in VC where you could just drive around collecting daily. Rockstar sorta went from that to making assets useless in SA and finally to removing them completely in IV.. doesn't make any sense.

lil weasel Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) I find that the a$$ets aren't worth the trouble to collect. I just do them for the game play. Running Sub-Misssions, Firefighting, and Vigilante (with the Rhino) are much more worthy. The only real use for the money is to buy the safe houses as there is so much FREE weapons and Body Armour just floating around. And using the Ammu-Nation Shooting Range Glitch makes buying ammo also unnecessary. Although the collecting ammo/weapons from floaters even makes that not so important. After getting the M4, Desert Eagle, HEAT Missile launcher and Molotov Cocktails there isn't much more needed to fight a good war. I tried the IV but found it lacking in general tone. It's pretty, but not (in my opinion) enjoyable for playing.

true_blue Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Yea I agree IV is lacking a lot.. felt like a few steps back from SA to be honest.. no car mods, not many houses to buy and no assets.. nothing but story and taking girlfriends to the bowling alley but Assets have always made the game more fun for me as I like the idea of building an empire and then seeing how much money you can collect.. and when you are early in the game money isn't that easy to get! Unless you walk around killing dealers for their 2k wads but thats a lot of walking around to pay for a good house or something so assets do have a place in the game for a short time in my opinion. But I hope in future GTA they make them more of a necessity rather than a luxury.. Im sure it won't be hard for RS to think of new ways for us to spend the millions.. I am not aware of this ammo glitch but the way I see it is theres no point hauling around $100m so may as well make use of it. Just off topic a bit.. do you know when/where in the game you can get a steady supply of ammo for the minigun?? I found one in the area 52 place but the 500 rounds that came with it were literally gone in 10 seconds!! Cheers!

lil weasel Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 In an underground carpark NE of the LV police station right next to the where the RR goes underground. And on the SE of the LV there is a building underconstruction. On the third level of scaffolding is one (Its possible to climb up to it, but the Jet-Pack is easier). On the RR Bridge Pier tower at the SF side is another ('choper up to it or Jet-Pack).

lil weasel Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 forgot... as it's late in the game ... When you have finished the last mission for toreno (Vertical Bird) one will appear in his riverside Ranch house. ... and you don't need to Quote replies, just use the ADD REPLY or FAST REPLY at the bottom of the page.

true_blue Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Cheers! And yes I know but its just habit Never know when someone else will post just a few secs before you and then it looks like you're replying to the other person. Clocked the game now and had a lot of fun! I enjoyed SA more than any other GTA.. VC being a very close 2nd. Playing EFLC now but its driving me crazy putting up with all the crappy performance due to it being a awful port. The graphics are nothing compared to todays standards yet it brings my 6 month old PC to a crawl.

lil weasel Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Modding the game uses resources (Slows it). Have you set to minimum video standards, change the Frame limiter?

true_blue Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 I haven't modded EFLC yet.. its just a crapply made console port same as GTA IV.. its also because GTA IV doesn't recognise shared video memory so I am left with 512mb I know about the trick to unlimit the memory in settings but the game still doesn't use my shared memory. It would probably run ok on a 1024mb card but im not gunna change my card just for one half decent game when it runs every other PC game perfectly over 60fps on full ultra @ 1920x1080.. If they designed it to work on a PC properly we wouldn't need so much graphics memory. Oh well the game isn't that good anyway Cheers!

lil weasel Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Runs fine on mine. I expect you need a Video Card with 256 dedicated memory. Shared graphic/RAM memory is only good to get the computers on the shelves at a 'looks good' price.

true_blue Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Yea I know man I am an IT technical engineer. But I have 512mb dedicated video memory and another 2gb shared so overall 2.5k graphics memory... Yea I know its far too much.. I need to flash the BIOS so I can fix it.. waiting for an update So your GTA IV runs fine @ 1920x1080 with high - very high settings and full distance bars? For me its like watching an old movie projector.. Always had bad FPS with GTA IV.. I assumed it was due to it being a crappy port or quad core incompatibility or something.. Any other game I play flawlessly on ultra settings though..
