Alpha Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Well at first to be honost vice city was not running ok. The graphics were like flashing and stuff. So I downloaded a windows update and after that everything was running very smooth. I however have it to 640x480 resolution so its for medium graphics cards. I also set how much graphics it will load up at a time. I forgot what the setting was called, but I remember it was at the top of the graphics option screen and I set it all the way to 1. After I did that i t was going 60 frames per second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsley Posted June 10, 2003 Author Share Posted June 10, 2003 This is my problem..The intro kicks in...Then the graphics and sound play ok for a few seconds...Then they freeze up...Sound keeps playing. Windows up date? did you get the service pack? What is your card GC?I am reading a lot of things on this game...It looks like i may have to wait for a patch or even DUN DUN DAAAAAA!!!!! An anser from customer support Frame limiter on/off...Its best to have it on unless your card is a speed of light beast thing... I will try lowering my resoloutin as well, but i dont think it will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 I have actually a preety cheap graphics card. Its a SIS 32MB graphics card. It kind of sucks since I can't play splinter cell with it, but otherwise its good. I'd recommend trying the patches and stuff. Look for windows updates for your graphics card drivers.. not the micrsoft service packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairytash Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Ive never had a problem running any of the GTAs however the intro movies only ever play properly after ive upgraded my machine so I think they only really work on cutting edge jobs. Im running 1700xp 256mb GeForce 3 Ti 200 128 mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsley Posted June 10, 2003 Author Share Posted June 10, 2003 My problem even happens with people who have a radion 98000 cards!!!!!!! But they got a patch for it.I think mine will need a patch too.
