GTA1 speed problems

[Sanchez 0]

Has anyone been able to get GTA1 to run smoothly in win2k pro? At any res I run it keeps on slowing down sometimes. Obviously it is not my computer since I run a AthlonXP 1700+ with a Geforce2 and I've tried it with the same results on a P3 600Mhz win2k system.

um... there's a few ways u can run it...

i'd probably be thinking u'r running gtados as win2k has crappy emulation for dos games.

try running gtawin in the gta\gtawin directory.

or u could also try that compatability thing, right-click on the exe->properties->compatability...

I'm runnin the windows version and I have tried the compatibility modes. None of them fix the problem.

Try downloading it and run gta for dos using moslow.

it works for me.

But he wants to make it faster not slower

Theres an option using one of the F-keys (F8 or F11 I think) that should help this as it removes the frame limiter...might wanna give that a try

Well with the Frame Limiter ON is limits it to about 5 fps!

Without it, it goes about 100fps!

 

Erk... Cant actually get the DOS version to run, I used the Windows version.
