hi everyone

i have aproblem i buy a gta san andreas

but after 20-30 minuts the game freeze only the music go

i have a asus 9800xt with cat 5.6 af16x aa 2x
san andreas at max details

help me
 
My logical guess would be that the AF and AA settings is too much for your system to handle, so I would adjust those settings
 
I have the same problem on my 9500 pro and I don't have all the bells and whistles on....but for me I found that if I let it sit for about 45 sec to a min it will do a VPU recover and I can continue playing np, just screws up my desktop after I quit.


Any ideas?
 
I get the vpu recovery too. I think it must be either a bug in the software or a driver problem.
It seems like a ton of people running ATI cards on this game have this problem.
And I get it even without any aa/af.
Running 1280X1024
very high quality
mip mapping on
View distance maxed with X4 modifier in the stream ini.
I've played for up to 4-5 hours without it popping up but other times it's happened twice in one hour. And these doesn't seem to be any consistancy on when it occurs i.e what 7 vehicles are blowing up at once in the rain it's fine but it's crashed on my just walking down the street. :confused:
