How to Reduce lagg.

[Kitsune]

Very good Information, Hope more Information keeps coming.

Well, if you want more tips, then I might as well show you the entire post.

GTA:SA Display Settings
Draw Distance - Minimum
Frame Limiter - On (needed for /fpslimit to work)
Visual FX Quality - Low
Anti Aliasing - Off
Resolution - As low as possible, at 16 bit

/fpslimit
You need to use a program like Fraps, so that you can see your FPS (frames per second) while playing. Basically, evaluate what your FPS averages as during game play, then set /fpslimit to slightly under that number. This is to prevent the lag that occurs when something happens during game play (loading new textures or objects for example), that your computer can't handle at the FPS you were previously on.

Low Quality Mod
The following mod includes some lower quality textures and effects that replace the default ones.

Task Manager Priority
While the game is running, ALT+TAB to your desktop, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to open your Task Manager, go to the tab that says Processes, loot for gta_sa.exe, right click on it, choose priority, and set the priority as high as possible. Depending on your computer configuration, setting it as Realtime may sometimes lead to minor issues, such as the sound cutting out from time to time. If you experience said problems, then just set the priority to the level before Realtime.

Game Booster
A program that increases game performance by disabling unneeded processes and services during game play. It can be downloaded here.

NVIDIA Control Panel
Assuming you don't already have the NVIDIA Control Panel, go to the NVIDIA website, check out the driver section, and download the latest one that supports your graphics card. In installing the latest driver, you're also installing the NVIDIA control panel, as it's all included. Since I'm not absolutely certain on the control panel version that you'd have, this is just a general guide with reference to the version that I'm using. Open the control panel (can be done by right clicking on a blank space on your desktop, then selecting NVIDIA Control Panel), make sure advanced view is selected (if relevant), go to the 3D settings and there should be something with reference to managing the 3D settings for particular programs. If it's not already there, add GTA:SA to the program list, then configure settings that are available. Each setting should show a detailed description, so for the most part, it shouldn't be too difficult to figure what you should change in order to increase performance. Some things to make sure you turn off are Anisotropic Filtering, Anti Aliasing and Vertical Sync.

About the NVIDIA Control Panel part, that's obviously for NVIDIA users only, but I think ATI users would have some sort of interface as well, so they may be able to take similar actions. The post was originally intended for someone who happened to have an NVIDIA GeForce 440MX 64MB.

I know somewhat ways to Reduce lagg.

1. Get a game booster
2. Get a C-Cleaner and clean all your junky Files.
3. Go to your options on the San Andreas menu.
4. Buy a new Harddrive
5. Buy more Ram for your Computer.
6. Get the NVIDEA Graphics card, IF you do not have it.
7. Internet connection
8. ram
9. Video Card
10. Close up all Programs You dont need.
11. Decrease your ping.

Ill update this When i figure out more.

If you have any more, just post and ill add.

All these would burn down the PC,plus it would cost 250$ and more...

Read some of the posts of Kitsunes and other, it'll Help you.  :wow:

The Main Options to make your GTA working faster would be just :

1)C-Cleaner - clean all computer up
2)Put all GTA options (in the game) to minimum (like resolution 640*800...etc)
3)And close all programs that you dont need while playing (open Task Meneger (Ctrl+Alt+Delite), than Processes > And I reccomend you not to close everything except GTA its gona shut your comp down or/and even break, just close such progs as "exploler(it will close the desktop, to open it press new task>search>computer>local disk:C>windows>exploler.exe", close sidebar (if it Vista or W7), some small programms that is not related to the mother board.

And thats it. Go ahead and play

P.S. I used to do it 1 year ago, when I had stupid computer. For now I dont even think of it (even GTA IV working non-stop  :banana: :banana:)

Its simple as Kitsune told......Pick your Affinity or Process at Task Manager.......It helps in a lot of games especially if you are using a dual-core
