GTA Vice City graphics loading slowly...

[Tomi_s]

Is it normal that when playing the Vice City the graphics are loading quite slowly, e.g. when you are drivivg a car you can hit to some "invisible wall" which appears to be a house or something after few seconds when the scene is fully loaded? I have the newest (Catalyst 3.5) drivers for my 9700 Pro. :confused:

I have the same problem...
Gets REALLY annoying when you're riding a motorbike :flames:

Heh, yeah! :D So it might be normal in that game...quite weird though! :rolleyes2

Go DLed the NO-CD patch... also when playing, don't have a CD in the drive. It seems to check and spin up the CD even if it's not using it... this helped out a friends machine. Made it MUCH faster! :thumb:

Tomi_s: I'm still using a Geforce 2 card and I've never experienced this problem when playing V City.

I would advise a reinstall then.... and if it's not, get a legal copy:thumb:

I seriously doubt that got anything to do with his prob..

I seriously doubt that got anything to do with his prob..

Why :shrug: If they both have the same problem, and few other people do, I would guess more-than-likely the crack ain't all it should be. Plus it wasn't a statement saying they pirate software, just a fact that there are people out there who do... : peace2:

With this game and fast high end video cards(particularly Radeons 95xx and up) its best to turn FRAME LIMITER "ON" in video options, that will solve your problem.

Hmmm...I think I turned the frame limiter on a few days ago...thx for the info gdeman! :cheers:
