[me]

are you overclocking anything?

[Guest]

what do you mean by overclocking?..like i mean it should work ok.. the computer isnt even a week old

[me]

overclocking is running the processor or video card faster than it usually is run.

Overclocking tends to lead to weird graphical errors, and errors, even on a brand new comp...

[Guest]

ohh that makes sence.. how would i fix that ?

[Wheezle]

I'd say if you don't know it, you're not overclocking. it's done intentionally... I'm no expert but I think you gotta actually do something with the hardware right?

[Guest]

i found a vice city graphics patch on filehshack.com...but it didnt work

i think i need a direct x thing im not sure lol but do u ahve any links that might fix this?

[Wheezle]

are you saying you didn't install directX?

go here

[Guest]

no i dowloaded that.. but it didnt work.. i just went to fileshack.com.. and they had a vice patch that apperently would help graphics but it didnt do anything either would you know of any places where i could get this fixed like any webbys or if u have any links

[me]

here... try a different (VC specific) forum... they'll probably be more of a help: http://www.gtaforums.com/ib/ikonboard.c ... ct=SF;f=80

yeah overclocking is done intentionally, if u dont kno wut overclocking is, ur not doing it then, another solution in which i had this problem with gta3, is that something in ur computer is overheating

try changing ur cpu fan, that might help, depending on how old your video card is, try putting the performance level down on that in control panel

what are your specs on ur computer? i can help u out, pm me...
