orappa Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Do you have a REALLY slow PC and/or internet connection? Link to comment
Guest Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 nop... I have a celeron 2.6 ghz with 128mb geforce fx card and a 2 mbit cable connection Link to comment
Morgage Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 word Are you downloading while you play ? Dont do that. Try another server, and is this on everybody when you shoot them ? Mabe THEY have a slow PC... Link to comment
orappa Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Well, it could be the Celeron. Also, you didn't say how much RAM you had, or whether it was a high or low-end FX card. Your internet connection doesn't seem to be crippling you (unless you have a really low upload rate - you're not using satellite, are you?). It could also be due to a peering problem with your ISP, which can be determined by trying out other servers. Link to comment
MrJax Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 remember.... if ur havin a hard time hittin them, there havin a hard time hittin u, unless of corse ur rubbish Link to comment

I guess that solves my little problem then... ppl suspect me of modding, because an opponent on a faggio is faster than me on a pcj! I actually got blamed for slowmotion modding (WHAT?!?). LOL... what kind of freak would mod his speed down? I have a Celeron 2,0 with a Hercules Prophet 9200 (128 mb), 512 mb RAM and a 2 - 8 mbit ADSL internet connection .... it's soooo annoying I can't even win a simple race.... By the way.. I tried to race my bro (Pentium 2,4) and he's like 2 or 3 times faster than me (both clean install and no mods except mta). I guess its that Celeron processor after all Link to comment
ijsf Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 It doesnt always have to be the Celeron, i've had problems with sound (try disabling it) before. But since i have a P4 2,8ghz (Celeron 1,7ghz before, big difference between the speeds though) VC seems to run faster. Or just try to upgrade your drivers or use beta (e.g. omega) drivers for your videocard, and defragment your disk once in a while. Link to comment
Tubbie Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I've tried all that... nothing helped unfortunately Also I have this weird texturing problem... Sometimes it seems I'm driving on glass or something. Also walls, poles and fences seem to appear after I crashed into them . Most of the time I have to wait before a level part has build up. Instead of the nice looking graphics I should get, I get blurry, undetailed textures for like a minute or something. Wait, let me show you some screenshots of these half-builded areas I have to drive in practically all the time: http://mtatubbie.741.com/index.html Link to comment
orappa Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Yeah, I get that as well. I think it's just the engine. Link to comment
Tubbie Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Well, the shitty thing is that GTA has ubergraphics on my bro's pc (pentium 2,4)... and well, when you see my graphics... Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 try updating vice city to 1.1 Link to comment
Tubbie Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I've recently updated it to version 1.1, but still no luck The 1.1 patch fixed probs with other videocards than mine... pitty Link to comment
TmM_Ryan Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Maybe u have a virus or a trojan, i scaned pc other day for both becz GTA:VC started jogging 4 some reason, i found a couple of trojans, when they were rid off, things were much faster Link to comment
rllercstr7 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Tubbie, make sure you have your frame limiter on in the display menu. That problem is always a lot worse for me when it is off, but it still sometimes happens. Link to comment
erorr404 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Also I have this weird texturing problem... Sometimes it seems I'm driving on glass or something.

Wait, let me show you some screenshots of these half-builded areas I have to drive in practically all the time: http://mtatubbie.741.com/index.html ive had this exact same problem before and it was due to instability caused by my power supply. the voltages were way off and i would get alarms in motherboard monitoring programs. i got a new 400 watt power supply (old one was a ceap 430W that came with my case), and it solved ALL of those problems. if you dont already have a motherboard monitoring utility, you can find your motherboard at your manufacturers website and look for one under the files section. or you can use a third party utlity like MBM 5 (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/) to check your voltages. i think its worth a try.

Tubbie Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Thank you guys, for all your suggestions I scanned my pc... no nasty things found (unfortunately??? )... well, some tracking cookies, but that's all. The frame rate limiter is always on... when I check my framerate, sometimes it's not even higher than 5 Most of the time it's around 20. I have an Asus motherboard. Asusprobe was in the box, so I took a look. Well, here are my stats (5 minutes after booting): CPU Temperature: 42C/107F MB Temperature: 35C/95F CPU Fan: 3341 Power Fan: 1730 Chassis Fan: LOL, I don't have one! +12V: 12,096 +5V: 5,08 +3.3V: 3,376 VCore: 1,616 Link to comment
Tubbie Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hmm... when I turn off my firewall, mta runs smoother (less lag). There still is this graphical corruption tho Btw, my framerate sometimes drops below 10 now In GTA I have less problems than MTA btw Link to comment
