Hey guys... I need cars/car packs that will replace all vehicles.. I downloaded mid - poly cars but my GTA SA crashes every 20 minutes.. (I think it's because I don't have a good - enough graphics card and RAM...

Here are my specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
RAM: 1015 MB ( 1 GB )
Graphics/Video Card: Intel® 82945G Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.0)
Graphics Memory: Display Memory: 251 MB
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip type: Intel® 82945G Express Chipset Family

So guys.. please help me find AWESOME low-poly cars/car packs for GTA SA that is qualified for Realism, Tuning Compatibility, and of course, Game Performance... TIA! (Thanks in Advanced)

Dude ur PC is more than good enought to run SA with nice visual fx settings, it might be cuz of windows 7 it tends to do that alot

[JF-Mir2]

@ indra p: Thanks! but... I need more cars..
please

@VF94: How could I make it faster?.. It really LAGS a lot...

With windows 7 its usually best to run at least 2 gigs of ram. And if your going to increase the visual quality at ALL, you should get a gfx card. Onboard just isnt enough. Go to ebay or something and pick up a cheap used 8800gtx for like 100 dollars and you will be set.

foxunitone, That is if his PSU can supply enough overhead watts to power a graphics card.


JF-Mir2, You have the right idea searching for low poly cars as your computer isn't very powerful.
I suggest you search on GTAInside for cars, usually the authors list if the car has a low poly count.

[JF-Mir2]

@ foxunitone: I'm gonna buy a 2GB RAM and an nvidia geforce next month (Already planned it, I finally had enough money) ...

@DSMTuner: Thanks.. but I only liked few... because in-game they work fine but as the traffic gets denser, the game lags and it runs at about 10-15 FPS (I think)

My cars for SA-MP click

[DSMTuner]

The cars from Automan's GTA IV car pack don't cause lag either.

IV Cars

[JF-Mir2]

@Jur1zz I appreciate your work.. it's cool.. downloaded some of it...

@DSMTuner LOL that's the exact car pack I downloaded that caused me a LAG when it gets too crowded with cars..
How can I fix that?

[DSMTuner]

Before you install a car check how many kilobytes are in the .DFF and .TXD files, anything under 1000 should work for you. If not, then I don't know what else to say.

Guys.. I'm so sorry... I really really need to bump this... As you already know, I have a huge problem with lag on cars...
Something really troubles me alot... hmmm... let's see.. I just remembered something from about 2 months ago when lag started to come... You see, I could run IV car pack by Automan without Lag at all before... but usually, after a week, LAG is being noticable when traffic gets denser... but I don't have this problem before... why did it came? how could I fix it?? Please help me... Thanks in Advanced!

Not sure how or why, but it's mostly just caused that if you experiment hundreds of mods, they'll affect your game. It seems to work like that, even though you don't save anything. For first, I was able to add new handling-lines without any problems and StreamIniExtender was bug-free, now almost all the time my game crashes.

Just re-install GTA:SA and the mods and it should be fine

[DSMTuner]

What screen resolution do you run it at?

[JF-Mir2]

@oksa Nah.. tried reinstalling numerous of times but it still lags..

@DSMTuner kind of wierd but... I run it at 1024 x 768 resolution because when on 800 x 600 or lower it lags like hell...

[Mr. Kingpin]

WTF JF-Mir2 how can you even run GTA SA? And what settings do you use? and also, it don't make no sense it's supposed to lag more if you run it at higher res..

Also, do anybody have a working download link to Myriads Island 0.5 for San Andreas?

I use these settings:

Draw Distance - Lowest possible setting
Frame Limiter - OFF
Anti-Aliasing - OFF
Visual FX quality - LOW
Mip Mapping - On
Screen Resolution - 1024 x 768 (Sometimes I use higher, but no lag at all.. but game crash happens when I use higher)

I use these settings to prevent lag... But actually, lag only happens when traffic gets denser.. that is it..
It's wierd that it lags at 800 x 600 and lower but I don't know what's the cause of it...

[DSMTuner]

You can try running SA and minimizing the window, then go to task manager and set the gta_sa process to a higher priority.

I can't seem to explain why lower resolution makes your game slower.

[fastman92]

Just i want to note here game does not crash because of slow computer!
Game crashes because of bugs in your game - corrupt model, invalid handlimg
cfg.cfh or vehicles.ide line are the reasons for which game would crash. High-poly models don't crash the game on slow PC. They simply lag on.
Use car spawner to check if all vehicles are working. You must get into every vehicle.

Just out of curiosity are you using any cleo scripts or self made scripts?
