Guest Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 I really have no clue what is going on but about 3 months ago I re-installed vice city and I have this huge problem. None of the good textures load the whole city looks like utter crap, even worse than the ps2 version. If I stand in one place for like 3 minutes the nice textures will load up but who wants to do that? I cannot even tell what the stores are or if there are medians in the road because none of the graphics load. Its weird because I uninstalled it and later I got a new video card, tried it again and it did the same thing, since then I have gotten an entirely new computer and I have the same problem. Does anyone else know of this problem? I have tried 1.0 and 1.1 but nothing works. I have e-mail take two tech support but they are the biggest bunch of idiots I have ever met and I completely gave up on them helping me. So here I am asking you guys. I really wanna play this and hit up multiplayer but it looks so freakin' bad I dont even want to play it like this! please e-mail me @ [email protected] if you can help me, thankyou
Guest Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Video card trouble? does your other games do that. 1. Try Drivers ( what card you have) 2. Tune Down Your Settings
DJ GTA Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Mr.Format C: ?? Yea sounds like Video Card Trouble Betty, or should I say DeathBetty..
Kent747 Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 make sure you have the frame limiter on. VC's renderer is kinda odd in that it doesn't work as well at higher framerates. I had this issue, turning on the frame limiter helped immensely. Kent
Guest Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 I will try the frame limiter thankyou. It is for sure not the drivers or the card, I have tried other cards and drivers and get the same prob. None of my games have ANY troubles.
Guest Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Frame limiter? I should try that... Anyway. So you get the blurred "stoned" stand-by textures, eh? Welcome to the world of Windows XP. Run it in compatability mode for Windows ME and it should work fine. But... I heard you shouldn't play MTA in compatability mode.. so don't,
dystopia Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 running vice in compat mode always crashes, at least for me. and funny how they include the frame limiter, and not just make it mandatory...i mean, considering they didn't at all optimize the game for more than 27.1 fps (i think thats about what ntsc runs at)
-UtopiA- Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Go to your gta-vc.exe Right click it Click Properties Click Compatibility tab Run it in "Windows 98" compatibility (It still works with MTA.... Wait, shh, yes. It works with MTA. Stop arguing! It works with MTA. No, stop. It works with MTA.) That'll fix your texture problem right up! And you can play without frame limiter.
Guest Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 lmao! Oh, that's why? But wouldn't it take longer to check the CD drive for the CD and THEN load the textures?
dystopia Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 no, i was saying mine crashes in 9x compatability mode, not that it has texture problems, damn this getting off topic stuff, anyhoot, yeah, not exactly relevant to the original post, sry
