this might help you out drew, and for people who dont have a dirty nvidia card just ignore the drivers bit it supposedly helps with the second major bug people report... slowdown after about 5 minutes.

going by the poll on the GTA3 site almost as many people have major problems running the game as those who run it ok, and another 10% cant even run the game at all Does GTA3 work without problems on your PC? Yes, It Works Fine! 1602 Yes, But With Minor Problems 1212 Playable, But With Major Problems 1536 No, It Doesn't Work At All 692 I Can't Get It To Install 93 I'm Still Waiting For GTA3:PC 2155 so in summary: users with problems = 3440 users without problems = 1602 and they are blaming end users??? hmmm

with the version of the forum software they are using im not suprised [Version 2.0.3], i think theres a security hole in that version the size of a house, something any fool could do. and passwords arent encrypted on there either

it looks like a cross between a camel and a goat and it spits like a camel, but we say it as meaning lamer. i think it was really chris pretending to be some girl from jersey

tell him he can have a spoon to eat my a** if he asked then... well... maybe when i get up im off to bed :spaced nite jerseygirl, tell that llama im burgling his house...

LOL!! ask him if hes got that flabby butt of his tanned by dangling it out of his cab window

looking atthe gta3 forums suggests we arent alone drew :cry i get crash to desktop as soon as i try crash my vehicle into another object be it a wall post person or car. i get no slowdown or anything it just crashes to desktop, sometimes i might get away with a few collisions but not more than 3 before it crashes. sux and they have come over all warriorkings and are blaming purchasers for the error, funny how everyones moaning about the same thing, thats called a BIG FAT BUG in my book. :mad:

someone has a lot of time on thier hands.... usefull though nice find jackpot

err are you the stalker he keeps telling us about?? lol joking hes somewhere driving round the USA in a truck, not sure where right now though, he comes online when he can which sometimes seems to be just as much as before he went trucking...

welcome to the forums linda, this is an oldie and easily fixed too go to start > control panel > Performance and maintenance > power options. then click on the tabs at the top of that box, theres only two tabs i think, look for a tickbox that says "enable APM" and tick it then click "apply" or "OK" it should reboot now no problems this might also help http://www.msfn.org/showthread.php?threadi...10&pagenumber=2

welcome to the forums tinker

or an ati card

no it sucks! i want out!! fthrjack [saving for athlon xp2000]

it aint sneaky.. we know about it lol, i dont see why not is all

theres some screenshots of the new doom out on the gamespy site, it looks amazing!!! i expected just more of the same old crap but.... it looks jaw dropping!! what you think? http://www.gamespy.com/e32002/pc/doom3b/

there seems to be a problem with windowsXP and especially with windowsXP machiens using nvidia cards, i quote:

you should try the firmware then, the makers site will explain how to install the new firmware for your dvd drive. if that doesent work then try some other media make in the drive

rev, why dont u put your url in your sig? steal our members and we will kill j00!! hehe kiddin, i just wondered why not...?

ive played it on ps2, it rocked! and now im playing it on PC... IT REALLY ROX!!! i wish i had the radeon 8500 and a playstation pad adaptor :cry please send donations to... hehe :spaced

yeah i think your right there sonny!

it could be a few things: try the latest firmware for your dvd drive from the makers site. it could also be the disc make itself, try other makes as some discs wont work in some drives (my drive for example hates the gold colored 'Mirror media' make but it loves the silver version) DVD and CDr and CDrw are very different in how they are made, write discs have a coating of some special polymer or crystals that the laser melts and then the layer sets solid, never to be meltable again. rewrite discs have an organicaly derived compound that can be etched on, but doesent hold as much information. DVD and DVDr will be something else entirely i expect. the information on a burned disc is not as "loud" as that on a comercially made CD, this is why some older CD players wont play copied discs, i expect its something to do with why playstation2 machines will play copied CD media, but not copied DVD discs.... try the firmware and make idea and let me know how you get on good luck!

no problem uschie im sure we have other Germans around here... they just arent as brave as you to admit it so near the world cup.... hope you enjoy using the forums and get any help and info you need, we have a laugh around here too fthrjack

on share reactor theres a link on the left called "servers" click it then on that page theres a link to add all the servers on the page to edonkey the page is updated regular too, also.. here ya go:

lmfao!!!! thing is now its all over the net... they will start spreading the tracks accross the disc, or integrating it into the files themselves is this cactus protection? it can be bypassed by putting the cd in a cd player and then plugging the cd player directly into the sound card heh i saw shakira in the stores recently with the warning that it might not play in some cd players and WILL NOT play in home computers. so i went and d/l it and gave everyone i knew who wanted it a copy, out of principle. this just cracks me up.. like microsofts uncrackable protection, and we all know how and when [b:7b4752cab9]that[/b:7b4752cab9] was cracked

the donkey bot is killing servers!!! its probably one of the reasons i got pinged to s*** when i ran a donkey server, for the love of god plz stop using it so that theres more servers out there for us all to play with!! :eek: pleeeease dude, ima beggin
