Title: SA:MP 0.2.2 R3 lag the SOLUTION ** worked for me **
Post by: Proxan on July 28, 2008, 10:39:38 pm

Hi,

I know alot of you get lag in R3 , so I think what can be the problem? I dont have a good graphic card but this worked for me. I changed color to 16bit ingame + window , then low resolution and this worked actually. Its not good graphic ingame but I cant feel a single lag anymore. Its great for the people that doesnt care about the graphic. So if you lag alot change your graphic settings in windows+ingame and also the color to 16bit to solve the problem. It worked for me , I guess it should work for you too.   :hurray:

There are a lot of things you can do the reduce the lag, just turn down your video settings.

Some people lag with good computers , so if it doesnt work to lower the resolution try change color bits.

How to get best performance

1. Install the Low Quality Mod

This mod is used to change a lot of the textures and effects to lower quality ones, which will have a significant effect on the game performance:
Low Quality Mod (http://www.mediafire.com/?0mdzxlbwlyc)

2. Change Video Settings

Draw Distance:
Minimum

Frame Limiter:
On and use /fpslimit ingame to set a low FPS somewhere from 30 to 40 (30 will give best performance but least smooth and vise versa for 40). The idea is that you set it lower then your normal FPS so it reduces "random slowing down lag", which especially happens when you are moving loading new textures ingame. However, it reduces the smoothness of the game, you need to find a balance. If you don't already have it, install Fraps (http://www.fraps.com/setup.exe) so that you can see your FPS ingame.

Visual FX Quality:
Low

Anti Aliasing:
Off

Resolution:
640x480x16, but if this is too low for your liking, just set to another resolution but keep it as low as possible and always ...x...x16 for 16 bit colour, not 32 bit colour.

3. Process priority

When running the game, CTRL+ALT+DEL to get to task manager, go to processes tab, find gta_sa.exe, right click and select priority, choose a higher setting. However, not all computers will react the same to the changing of priority. I tried to set it to Realtime on one computer with no problems and reduced lag by about 33% whereas on another computer I had to set it to High as when it was on Realtime, the sound lagged. You can just try out a setting and see how it works for you, but remember, ideally higher is better.

I have the lowest graphic settings with R3 but it lagged still, so I downloaded R2 again. It worked perfectly (Some more crashes then, but yea'), when I bought a new PC I can use R3 again.  :roll:
