Guest Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 i would just like to know what specs i should have to play this game bc my pc sucks and i have only dial up. i tried version 2 and ran it and it said that "program too big for system memory" btw for people who can play it online, does it lag a lot and what can u do?

Aralkar Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 (edited) wait until 0.3 comes (it's almost there ) it has an improved netcode and there will be less lag for the specs: I think that like GTA3 and the connection I don't know if with a 56K will be ok Edited May 17, 2003 by Guest Link to comment
BACKSLASH Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Well 56k on 0.2 would be so laggy it wouldn't be worth it. Your best bet is to wait until 0.3b comes out with it's nifty new netcode. But if you did set up a LAN and play with someone on LAN then you probably want at least 128 mb of ram, and 1.0 ghz of processor speed, and maybe 32 mb of video ram, it will still be laggy but that will get the job done.

xerox Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 run the game at above the min specs specified on the box (simple eh? =P =) i would suggest a 1ghz cpu, 12x cd rom, 1gig free space, 64 mb card and 128mb ram min for it to run in multiplayer. Link to comment
Guest Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 i have all of that except for a 64 meg card......i have a intel integrated one and its only 32 mb....... btw will programs like highfps and 3danalyze work? Link to comment
xerox Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 possibly, though on-board vidcards are crap. I suggest that you get a 64mb geforce2 mx400. Dirt cheap, and they still run a lot of new games (slow =) Link to comment
MAD_BOY Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 a friend of mine has a GeForce 2 and can play gta3 at 800x600 smoothly Link to comment
xerox Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 i am currently running gta3 on a gf2... seems to run quite well for me, if not a little sluggish... but still playable. Link to comment
Guest Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 just to let u guys know i have a intel mobo. it sucks and i probably dont think that i have a agp slot on it. how do i check for one without opening up my case? stupid compaq piece of crap case..... Link to comment
xerox Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 well said. I only mentioned a gf2 cause its compatible with all my older games i run (im an oldgames nut btw =). Get a decent card, or decent anything for that matter, as you usually get what you pay for (pay sh*t all, get sh*t all) Link to comment
Guest Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 NO!!! WHATEVER YOU DO - DO NOT GET A GeFORCE 2!!!correct me if im wrong, but i had a GeForce 2 64mb and it wouldnt run GTA3 smooth on 800x600! so if u want a graphics card, splash out and get a GeForce 4 Ti-4200 128Mb at least. plus that should last you till Doom III... Yes, it's a big scandal! A three-year-old car not able to run today's games well! Those bastards! edit: also if not, look at the back of your case, and if there are many panels they could be agp slots, but there is no sure way of finding out. just open up your case and don't be scared of ruinging your computer!!! theyre quite hard to damage unless you're completely dumb! (no offence to people who hav damaged their computer in the past... ) not to be an asshole, but... it's pretty damned easy to damage a comp. at least wear an esd strap, otherwise, static can kill your hardware. no offense, though.
