Why would you need auto aim? Are you playing with a controller?

Is this with or without the patch? Also what are the graphic settings that you have applied for the game? Added commandline.txt file?

 

[Plasma_Snake]

Just finished it today, now will be doing side missions, after my exams.

 

[JojoTheDragon]

Hey dudes what does the patch fixes? Can anybody give me the full detail list and also the download link?

yes its with the patch and i've added the commandline.txt. my settings are-
1440*900
texture qlty= high
renderer qlty= high
view distance= 32
detrail distance= 58
vehicle density= 41
shadow density= 6

 

[JojoTheDragon]

Yo dude try reinstall the game. (also try turning on rockstar social club and logging in) Mine is running fine without patch and commandline.txt. Try different grafix setting and loading an previous save game. It should do the trick

No the 8600gt im playing with right now gives bad performance in heavy fire fights so auto aiming would be much better...and anyway this is the first gta im playing for the PC after chuking my ps2.

Oh in that case I'm not really sure how it works out. Haven't tried it out till now.

Guys any one have finished the packie "BANK ROBBING mission "

ITs very tough some how i am dieing ?? how to finish

 

[Ethan_Hunt]

All I'd suggest for the 'Three Leaf Clover' mission is run as fast as you can. Don't try to shoot out every cop that you have out there. I tried to do that once but they spawn in large numbers & if either of you die then it's game over. Try to stack up a few grenades & try to blow up the cop cars. This should be a faster way then shooting your way through everything that moves. Keep up with Packie & Derrek as they keep moving forward.

 

[amitash]

I found out that the auto aiming thing is only for the consoles
Anyway in options i made the aiming crosshairs basic and all that comes is a small dot...now im 10 times better at the game...i love the small dot...have experience playing with a similar crosshair online for 3 years with the Oops clan in enemy territory.

I found out that the auto aiming thing is only for the consoles

It was meant to be a console feature. It's more like an assisted form of aiming. That is the reason my first question to you was if you were using a controller. If so then it's difficult to make precision aiming at times & hence this feature comes in very handy.

[JojoTheDragon]

Thanks Ethan i didn't know that. I got one thing to ask now i have found out that Mechalle is a cop and i dont have anyone to date. Where to find new dates. I tried the net cafe two -From russia without love and galloria have ignored me. What to do? And Mallorie has her answering machine turned on.

 

[Ethan_Hunt]

You can't date Mallorie as she's Roman's gal. So hands off her.

After you 'dump' Michelle, you will meet up with Patrick McReary a.k.a Packie after some point. That is when you'll be introduced to your new love interest, Packie's sister, Kate McReary. You can start dating her once Packie passes on her number to you. Complete some of his missions & you'll start dating Kate. Be careful & don't get her drunk too much as she blabbers a lot of unwanted stuff.

The rest of the girlfriends, I guess, you meet once you upload your profile over lovemeet.net. So that would include SoboHoe (Carmen Ortiz) & LawChick (Kiki Jenkins). The former is very high octane chick, so better look good & have a swanky ride. Else chances are you'll probably be given the boot.
