Re: GTA Heaven

Interesting! I really wanna see how this game kills my laptop. Since this game is like $50 in US, can I buy it from India and get the key and then active in US? Like I download the game and then install with the key from India?

Re: GTA Heaven

@damngoodman999,I'm playing this game on Q6600 and 8800 GTS 512 SLI.
@Other guys,are distance view,destance detail and vehicle density all set to 50 OK? Will these settings give me good graphics coz I'm getting some texture problems. After changing those settings to 50 each the problems were solved to some extent but still some minor texture probs are there.

You need to work on your socialising skills a bit & you'll do just fine.

You shouldn't have any issues at all. AFAIK The key isn't bound to any specific country. All you need to do is create an RGSC a/c & the GFW Live a/c & enter the key.

Vehicle density will chew a lot of your CPU usage & the rest would gobble your VRAM. Detail distance will improve the amount of objects present around you & they would start looking more sharper. View distance gives detail to the rendering of the path ahead of you. So the more you increase it the more amount of building & other elements would be rendered at a faster rate. The texture pop-in & out issue is very common. Don't worry too much about it unless it's occurring at every step.

Re: GTA Heaven

Re: GTA Heaven

Re: GTA Heaven

i am in love with this game..it ranks on my top 5 list now..specially like the humour..Niko's style is amazing..he just knows what & how to say.!!..i completed the mission where dmitri betrays niko & i think what the story unfolds after that is very touching!!I was begining to feel sorry for Roman...

Re: GTA Heaven

is this just me or has anyone else experienced it-- the game is running fine, graphics ok, textures are there but the color seems to be missing..everything looks monochromatic or very near to black & white. has anyone experienced this?

Re: GTA Heaven

Leave them as it is. If you're not experiencing any major frame drops or texture clippings then you should be fine.

i have kept my game settings similar to yours...are you experiencing missing textures or scenes when everything looks monochromatic or of very low color?

 

[Plasma_Snake]

1360x768
High texture quality
Highest render quality
Shadows-0
View Distance-50
Detail distance-50
Vehicle density-50

Mine Avg. FPS is 40 and max is 45 and min. is 33 !
Now I want to ask u guys one thing. I've the original copy of the game and I made 2 .nrg images of the game's DVD. If I buy Dual layer media and try to burn those images on them then would they work? Second thing is that to play the game I've to insert the DVD in the drive. If I apply a no DVD patch then will it result in a cracked game thus making it pirated? If that happens then will I be able to play it online or not? If yes then will I be able to access original servers?
Please clarify my doubts.
As for progress, I haven't played it much, just did couple of Vlad's mission, hooked up with Little Jacob and just that. Can't play it more either as exams from 30th, gotta study.

 

[SunnyChahal]

@767hsm.,Sometimes the textures pop in and out that's all. Patches will fix it I hope.

@Panda, you're playing on a lower resolution and as you've set shadows to zero you are supposed to get such FPSs.

Anyways,my bro also wants to play the game on his iMac. The config is:
Core2Duo 2.66Ghz 45nm
2GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM
ATI Radeon 2600 Pro
Any hopes?

 

[Psychosocial]

^^Yup, on low it might cut it as 2600 Pro is roughly equal to a 8600GT.

Work for? Installing the game? Yes it will. Just prior to doing that mount them on a virtual drive & test it first.

Please clarify my doubts.

If you apply the no DVD check then it will disable online play & hence you won't be able to access Multiplayer mode or RGSC updates. It modifies the main launcher & hence won't work for anything online. Bottom line: Forget going online with no-dvd check applied.

As for my progress, Just completed all of Ray Boccino's missions. The museum mission was fun. Progress rate: 42.8%.

Did anyone get to kill any Pigeons or Flying rats? It does account to those aiming for 100% completion. I killed one of each & apparently there are 199 more pigeons to kill.

Well I tried to run the game with DVD 1's image loaded through Daemon Tools but SecuROM gave me emulation failed error. WTH does that implies?

It won't run the game from the mounted image. It should only be used for installation back up purpose.

Has anyone experienced this- the graphics are just fine & no missing textures, but the whole scene looks monochromatic, black & white or without any color! why is this happening?
