    ..err, more so than usual at least.

    This game seems to be on-par with GTA3, just 'olde style' (that e in olde is intentional by the way). However, it seems to be slowly, but surely driving me absolutley bonkers! I dont know if its the game or my hardware (I use a gateway pc, no prizes for whats the probleme :rolleyes:) but everytime I get into an awkward situation the damn thing freezes up on me.

    Heres a typical scenario:
    I'm doin' the rounds (I wont say where, for fear of spoiling the game for those who havent played it yet). And suddenly, a game-scripted fight comes up (IE. a mission where a gun fight ensues). The probleme is, that the second we fire (every one fires, me, paulie, the 'other men') the damn game freezes, but only for me.. the AI still continue to fire but its not shown on screen, nor can I do anything about it. What happens? I die, thats what happens, I'll end up playing this game 10x over at this rate.. anyone got any clue whats going on? (I use a creative geforce 2Ti something or other, I'm guessing its too old to handle it right? it barely managed to keep up with GTA3)

    on a side note:
    other than occasional trips to the pharmacy to get doped up on morphine, this game is great. I'd recomend it to anyone without either a 'commersial pc' (dell, gateway, time, apple, etc) or an awful gfx card like mine (which I actually pinched :worried:, I should have a Riva TNT2 32mb :rolleyes:, lord knows 90% of my games wouldnt run on that!). pretty much, if your pc can run GTA3 healthily, then this will be quite some eye-candy for ya' (especially the bedroom scene :naughty: ).

    I finally finished the game last night it is a wicked game with a poorish ending but slightly different. It runs slowly on mine sometimes I need a new gfx card i think.

    i heard there is a lot of hardware issue with that game.s some peeps only getting 10fps on gf3s and stuff. a lot of peeps say its a badly rushed game so when a decent patch comes out it prob solve most of your probs.

    there is a patch for this game appearing some time soon according to a few gaming sites, keep and eye out for it, try looking at fan sites as they seem to get the patches before they are uploaded onto the official pages.
