graphical issues Thread - Back to the Future: Hill Valley mod for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Hey all.

Well the install of this mod worked like a treat but i dont know why but since installing this mod the graphics of my vice city have been playing up like the draw distance or something i have it set to almost full draw distance like only two empty bars remaining but still somethings areas on screen or little things will fade out and only become visible if im right in front or crash into them.

i know its not my graphics card coz previos versions of this mod and normal vice city ran 100% flawlessly.

i did the install of this version perfect after i did a fresh install of vice city so ne suggestions on how else to fix this coz its annoying me when i play it.

thanks.

i guess it's that no loading screen mod. Well, easy fix is to get another install, copy maps.zon and the maps folder over to your bttf install

I had the exact same problem and I did what you said but it's still doing it, do you have any other suggestions? And the other updates were working fine for me until i installed this one so i don't know what's going on here.
Thanks

Well, it vice city is now full of more high-poly cars. Don't know if thats taking an impact. What system specs do you have?

What are system specs?

cpu, graphics card, memory, hard drive capacity, etc.

Like, I have a
Dell Inspiron E1505
Intel T2400 Core Duo 1.83Ghz
2gb RAM
120gb hard drive @ 5400 rpm
Windows XP Pro w/ VTP7.0
ATI Radeon X1400 Mobility 256mb

I have an Emacnhines Microsoft Windows XP
340 Intel Celeron Processor
80 gb hard drive
512 MB DDR Dual channel capable
Intel Extreme Graphics2 3D
That's all i can see cause i can't find the computer book.

ive got currently

//
pentium 4, 2.80ghz
2gig ram
64mb intel xtreme intergrated graphics card
windows xp home service pack 2
//

I bet it's the graphics card. Integrated doesn't really cut it, expecially with the new models. I think the delorean doubled in poly count.

Can you buy a new graphics card or what?

damn might have to stick with 0.2b until i get my new comp on the 12th of september this year (i honestly cant wait lol)

this is my new computers specs

caviar 250gb SE16/ SATAII/ 7200RPM/ 16mb

Unistar atrix 9001 C4 PC Case. 500w PSU, 1394 black

S775, SIS61FX. FSB1066, PCIEx16, VGA, DDR2, SATA2, RAID, GBLAN, MATX

surely that wouldnt have ne trouble runnin ne version of this mod you guys put out.

um,..just a thought coz i downloaded the manual install would i beable to just put some parts of it on like the new delorean new hud,,and the lybian stuff and none of the other new car models?
just to better my chances of running some things of this version at least

8600GY should have absolutely no problem of running the mod.

yep, you can. All the added cars are at the bottom. Essential ones are the rumpo, deluxo, sabre, zebra, infernus, banshee, rcbaron, bus, skimmer, and baggage.

vice city with this mod on wouldnt have ne trouble running on vista premium when i get it will it? coz when i get my new computer that will be my first time using vista and i know their are some compatability issues with some programs.

I have vista business, and as long as you run the setup program as an administrator it works fine. Also Delorean, did you include that no load mod in 0.2c? I haven't really paid attention to whether or not it loads since I upgraded, but now that I think about it I dont really remember seeing any load screens between the islands.

i just put all the manual install stuff in and its still doing it so im going to remove all the cars with the original cars from my back up copy and just have the essential stuff u mentioned coz specially on the way to get more plutonium from the lybians it does it coz that areas packed with the new modeled cars parts of roads dissapear and all.

So do i have to buy a new computer to get a new graphics card or what?

well if its intergrated like mine is then yes u r better of getting a new one coz ud have to replace a few things to get the new one if u even have space for a new one to be installed.

but if its not intergrated like mine then no u shouldnt have to, best check with ur local computer store or something or where u got ur computer from and ask them about if u can or not. theyd no whats best to do.

ok, thanks.

so can i take out the files related to the rumpo, deluxo, sabre, zebra, infernus, banshee, rcbaron, bus, skimmer, and baggage from the img i got now put em in a copy of my backup copy img which has nothing new added just original and then copy that img over to the mod.

yep, pretty much

oh damn, you need keycard.dff and dynkeycard.txd (err, forgot what exactly, but they both have keycard in the name) to get the license plate.

thanks lol thats probly why it crashed upon starting a new game and loading half way haha i got all the cars in thogh only the essential ones. ill do the keycard ones now though.

i have vista home premium on a much weaker computer than that and the mod still plays fine so u should have no problems

I got it working with only the essential cars needed and its reduced the problem quite a bit specially the lag i got if i went into an area that had all new cars in it.

Still does it a bit though just not as much as it did with all the newbies.

yep, new cars need a lot more resources, as they are more high res.
