Flash Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 GTA 3... I have been waiting for this game on the PC for about 4 months, this game gonna kick a**!! I cant wait to get it, and if it dont run well on my GeForce 3 Ti200 i will kill it :blueteam <-- Literally Thought of changing your drivers for your GPU (Graphics card) to make GTA 3 work?

Flash Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 LoL, well i hope it works well for everyone... What parts are different to it than the PS2 version?!
FthrJACK Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 there seems to be a problem with windowsXP and especially with windowsXP machiens using nvidia cards, i quote:"We have found a possible problem with Windows XP that manifests itself as graphical problems both in the game menu and also during game play. We have traced this problem to be a Windows XP problem. Technically this problem is solved by the use of a newer version of d3d8.dll than is shipped on CD with Windows XP. (The version on the Windows XP CD that has problems is 5.1.26000.0 – versions tested without error include 5.1.2600.15 and 5.1.2600.29)Currently the only way we know to update this dll file is to install the Windows XP Patch: "The Computer Cannot Enter Standby or Hibernate if a Direct3D-Based Screen Saver Is Running (Q306676)" downloadable from here.This update may in the future be available as part of an official Windows XP Service Pack, a Windows XP Compatibility Update, or possibly a DirectX 8.1 update."
Flash Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 Well thats worrying to me... :nerves I dont like the sound of that at all. Me thinks i may have to get the patch :-)
Flash Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 Never!! :spaced I'll stick with the GeForce guys, one thing that annoyed me though, got my GeForce 3 at Christmas then they brought out GeForce 4 3 months later, they could have told me!! :wail:
Drewdatrip Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 Buggy as hell with me.....either crash to desktop or lock ups....Btw im on a ati-Drew
FthrJACK Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 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. suxand 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:
Snoop Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 i think it suffers from memory leaks im getting a nice fps until 20mins of play when it starts to stutter hasnt crashed on me yet though
Flash Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 :wail: Nooooo, my worst nightmare :spaced But luckily i have GeForce When you say memory, you mean RAM or the game within its structure?! What about chainging the drivers, should help...
