bcrt2000 Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 i just HAD win2003 installed but i went back to xp and the game didnt seem to be streaming the high detail stuff properly even with frame limiter on the game would stop when i was driving fast and give me a split second loading thing once in a while... in win2003 it never did that.. so im assuming either the game has probs with XP or XP has probs with the game... i tried the running in compatibility solution, and while it works, the game runs too choppy compared as to running it in win2003... i think im going to switch back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alucasan Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 What the heck.. I have Win XP and the only problem i got is white lines around some gras (not marijuana just gras). WINDOWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcrt2000 Posted May 17, 2003 Author Share Posted May 17, 2003 you might not notice any problems, perhaps either because you haven't seen the game running at its best under another OS, or you have a blazing fast PC. If you have a fast PC though, you should run the game in win98 compatibility and it should run better... im running at 810MHz with a 64MB GF3 and 256 RAM, and I noticed a difference when using compatibilty mode in terms of draw distance, and i just reinstalled windows 2003 now (DONT bother installing this unless you are an advanced user! and it runs faster and gives me better draw distances... GTA3 also allows me to run in [email protected] instead of 800x600 in XP, and doesnt give me the missing ground problems when im running it in win2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mer cinder Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Which version of XP are you running, I am running pro, and the comparison between home and pro is pro is substantially better. I've also noticed the lack of quality in my friends version, he has home and I have pro. But he's souping up his computer soon so mine will be put to shame.

bcrt2000 Posted May 17, 2003 Author Share Posted May 17, 2003 i have windows xp profressional, and windows 2003 server standard edition.. obviously most people wouldnt be able to get a copy of win2003, so i think maybe we should get the attention of rockstar and microsoft of either a major bug in XP or a major but in VC which causes for subpar performance/graphics in the game, especially on mid-to-low range systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darknyt6 Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Win 2003 ?!?! whatta hell is that?! Win 2003 is a new version of Windows that is floating around in a pretty decent beta form. It is not Longhorn, but an intermediate product. I may be wrong - this is just how a techie friend of mine who works for Novell explained to me. After he offered me a copy. No thanks - I don't need an unsupported beta OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmsta Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 well... being that I'm still a beta tester for win2k3, I guess I should download the latest beta, and install it... I've had enough with xp being so gay... I mean... I install new ATI drivers, and it corrupts my monitor drivers... WTF? Then, it goes and disables my refresh-forcing proggie... I'll either go Win2k3, or linux at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
