Oops, yes, sorry. I must have neglected to say that for GTA you have to press <ESC> once to get everything started.

BTW, if you are using Windows XP, GTA is much better supported by v1.21 of Glidos. You an find v1.21 here on the vogons site as an attachment to the first post in the "PIT Perfect" thread.

I find that there is a really bad lag in the controls with v1.20, but not with v1.21

I remember reading about that bit. But isn't that for the intro, anyway? I'm talking about what happens after I select "Start Game", select my character and then choose the city level.

*points to earlier system requirements*

Thanks for that, man. I got it just now. 😀

BTW, did you know that there's a second demo of GTA, which is 3DFX only, containing a timed mission on San Andreas? It can be grabbed here.

*teensy bump* 😉

*thread comes back to haunt everyone, 🤣*

What's the state of play with this problem?

Ummm, what I said in my second post.

What am I, stupid or something! Try pressing ALT-Enter.

I've no idea why I didn't think to suggest that before. I was just testing Redguard under Windows 2000, and I get a completely black screen with a flashing white cursor (I always do with Redguard). I just press ALT-Enter without thinking, but luckily I remembered that there was someone asking about this problem.

Ah, thankies! 😁 That appeared to work for me. I'm using the new v1.22, btw.

But...... now is it just me, or does that huge spinning (and sometimes flashing) GliDOS logo slow down the frame rate a lot of the time? At first the action moves all slowly, then it speeds up suddenly, then slows down. I take it if I register then I'll get perfect frame rates?

No: that isn't due to the logo. Please don't pay unless this problem can be rectified.

You might try editing the glidos.ini, and within the GTA section, change ControlJudderFix from 1 to 2. I don't know if that will help, but it does make a significant difference to how Glidos controls timing. The trouble is I find with the setting of 2, that there is a lot of lag in the controls.

You should also look to see if you have anything unusal running in the background on your computer.
