vice city slow, any soltuions?

[SharpzSh00t3R141]

Hey! It's me, I'm back after 2 years.

So, have a temporary PC here whilst my laptop is being repaired. and it's shit. Still, must be a way to make vice city faster and more smooth with somewhat stable FPS. I lowered all the graphics etc, but must be a mod or something to decrease graphic quality, thus increasing FPS in return.

If anyone knows, tell meh.

Did you run it on 640x480x16 resolution?

What are your computer specs?

Try to close all the programs before open GTA Vice City
-Disable the audio of Vice City
-Click right on My Computer>Advanced>Performance>Settings>Adjust for best perfomance.

apologies for late reply.

I did what some of you said and managed to go to a pretty good stable FPS (although it lags a bit with smoke etc, if there is any way to remove smoke or sparks then tell me, thanks)

here are my specs if you're interested and tell me if this is a somewhat suitable PC despite it's age:

You should really upgrade your Graphics card. You are running on the Recommended Specs but just barely.. As for the smoke and sparks, you can try searching online for those mods.
