Graphic Issues with GTA3

[ak24]

I am playing GTA3 but the issue is graphic problems. I have played Vice city which runs perfect even on 1024x768 resolution. I have even played games which require higher resolution than GTA3 with no issues at all. I have a Dual Boot OS when i installed it on WIn XP. there was missing graphics. the roads were transparent and then when driving a car the walls would not be visible unless i was really close to it. So i read it in another forum that GTA3 had a compatibility issue with Win XP so i installed it in win98. Now i dont have that kind of issues the graphics are fine but the video is choppy. . Now could anyone who has played this game please tell the solution to this issue.

Draw Distance

I had the same problem in GTA3, when travelling in car, the walls would be invisible untill u go close to them.

Solution:

Install GTA3 in Win 98

Direct X 9.0c

640* 480 resolution

Decrease Draw Distance to zero
