64(+) MB video card with DirectX 9.0 compatible drivers
("GeForce 3" / "Radeon 8500" or better with
DirectX Texture Compression support)
Windows XP:
We recommend manufacturer distributed drivers for Windows XP (i.e. drivers that expose
the user controls for changing settings on the particular piece of hardware), instead
of the default drivers installed by Microsoft as part of the machine setup process.
Screen Resolution:
Selecting lower Screen Resolutions in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City display setup will
allow faster gameplay on lower end machines. Also, using 16 bit color, instead of 32 bit
color, will help in these circumstances.
Frame Limit:
We do not suggest disabling the "Frame Limit" in the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City display
Setup page, as this will lead to a more "variable" rate of playback.
VSYNC:
We recommend that you make sure you have set your video card to VSYNC ON in your video
card advanced options (from Control Panel/Display Properties).
2000 / XP User Accounts:
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City requires to be installed, and run for the first time,
with a user account that has ADMINISTRATOR privileges. On the first run of the game,
we decide whether or not to use DirectX Texture Compression, and then if necessary
un-compress the games textures to your Hard Disk. For more information on
ADMINISTRATOR user accounts, see your Windows 2000 / XP manual.
Som det fremgår af install. notes: On the first run of the game,
we decide whether or not to use DirectX Texture Compression, and then if necessary
un-compress the games textures to your Hard Disk.
Derfor vil jeg anbefale en uninstall, og geninstallere spillet, for at få det til at rette sig efter det nye grafikkort. Eller:
Changing hardware / re-initialization:
Changing either your video card or soundcard may mean that you get Grand Theft Auto:
Vice City into an "invalid" settings state for the particular hardware. If you change
hardware, to prevent having to un-install and re-install Grand Theft Auto: Vice City,
perform the following:-
Video card:-
- delete from the "Grand Theft Auto Vice City/models" directory the files
"TXD.DIR" and "TXD.IMG" (if they exist)
- delete from the "Grand Theft Auto Vice City/data" directory the file
"CAPS.DAT"
- delete from the "Documents and Settings/Current logged-in User/
My Documents/GTA Vice City User Files" directory the "GTA_VC.SET" file.
Sound Card:-
- delete from the "Documents and Settings/Current logged-in User/
My Documents/GTA Vice City User Files" directory the "GTA_VC.SET" file.
