|
|
Hey guys. I've got some problems with my game, and I need some suggestions so you can help me out to solve them.
I'm getting this freezes, mostly on race starts.. e.t.c If I get a good pole position, after 10 seconds I'd be on the last position cause my FPS decreases from 40 to 20. And that happens every time it's crowded, or if there are a lot of objects loading.
Could it be the wireless connection that I'm using? It's not a bad one (4MB DSL), and my PC is not crap. So I can't figure out what causes this freez/lag things..
Thanks, Caine.

Would be nice if you told us what your computer has inside...
Then, do you use mods? Does it happen on other servers? Have you tried other GFX settings?

Right, your laptop should do O.K. I think... I suggest you to look at GTA Shrinker on Plodder's site >>> http://plod.mooo.com/
Next, it could be ATI Catalyst drivers problem. If you didn't update, do it. If you got new drivers recently, then try to find some older ones... the question is if your problem applies on other games, then it would be obvious.
And yea, it's Rudy, Memphis Grizzlies player in my avatar.

FPS craps out on me also, seems at random, within half an hour or one hour of gameplay. Got nothing to do with our server etc cos i had this shit happening during the christmas tourny. Must also add, this FPS dropping issue was born with the 1.0.5 release for me, and i certainly aint pissing about swapping drivers, comp is fine.

Maybe I am not right, but I think your cpu is not good enough. When I had a 2.8 core duo intel cpu I had really bad fps lag at the start when 20+ players was on the server. I tried Plod's shirker, but that did not help.

I'm afraid you're right, Csena. It only happens when the server has 20+ player count. Bazmeg

It's definitely your laptop that simply is too weak. My laptop has an i3 + HD6320 and i have to play on fairly low settings to get a stable 40 fps. Being able to run GTA unfortunately doesn't mean you can run MTA.

Problem solved! MTA set my resolution to 1300something, i decreased it to a 800x600. Looks horrible, doesn't fit the screen. but who cares, runs smoothly with 40fps almost all the time! Just have to test in on 20+ player count Can't believe I didn't thought of that earlier. Anyways, thanks you all for your suggestions!

I think there is another way to higher your fps. Easy to use. Window mode maybe give you more fps, but I am not 100% sure.
You can also try Ivan's . You can find the original file here: Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\models\particle.txd
And one more thing. I saw another file replace thing that remove sparks, smokes, ect (kind of useless effects). I think you can find it on the EPG or FFS forum. I am not sure.

also make sure that "Streaming memory" is set to maximum, you can find it in the game settings, tab Advanced, that fixed a lot of fps issues for me when they added it

ok, did some improvements on some of the shaders on the race sever which even if you didn't use them they still used cpu resources (they don't anymore)
also disabling traffic sensor helps too (F4 to do that)
also some of you updated mta to the 4071 nightly, you can update to 4096 since they added some improvements as well; if you don't know how go to: http://nightly.mtasa.com/ and download mtasa 1.3 RC 4096
