Barnese Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 I have talked to a few people and they have had the game lock up on them for awhile then unlock then lock. Well i have the exact same problem and i think i got to the root of it. At first i thought it was my PC wasn't fast enough to play this game at good res, but i was wrong i can run it on 1024x728x32 with ease but it will start locking up like all other resolutions. Well if you notice the game locks up when the CD-Rom starts reading the disc. Why is it reading the disc? I took the disc out after the lag went away and the game was running so smooth. I don't understand what the unmanditory disc checks are. They dont check to make sure the disc is in the PC because i took it out while playing and it was fine.
Guest Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 yes, i've installed the 'audio' radio stations to my harddrive like it said in the installer.... BUT... whener i changed radio stations it would freeze for a few seconds at a time.. so i removed those stations from the audio folder and it STILL was playing them. so i thought that was odd when i realized it had ALWAYS been pulling those 80 mb radio files off the cd. it doesnt even use the ones on the HD. I dont even like the radio stations and would rather have it look in my mp3 dir instead of my copying them all over. i hope they let you disable radio stations in some sort of update
Barnese Posted May 16, 2003 Author Posted May 16, 2003 That does not make sense why would the disc be pulling the 80meg station files off the cd when if you take the cd off the radio stations it still works, you can listen to all the channels.
Henry_W_ Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 Dont dis VC radio it is awesome, and if you dont like it you can turn it off, just keep changing till you get to the last one, the one after that is the off button. Henry
Robpol86 Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 well, if it slows down cuz its readin from the cd, then do this. rip the cd into an iso, bin/cue, ccd/img use daemon-tools to mount the image into a virtual drive. get a crack for ur game to bypass the cdcheck this isnt illegal at all. as long as you bought the game
Slothman Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 clonecd has a "sheepdrive" feature that mimics a dvd/cdrom.
