GTA San Andreas Lag issue during explosion/fire effects

Post by linlinxz »

I have been having this issue since I installed the game. I have tried it with no mods and with mods. But during these events of when fire or explosion effects occur, in addition to having many cars around, the game becomes very choppy. I tried using winetricks to change the video ram size and turned off composition for the Plasma desktop. I also tried different versions of Wine with PlayOnLinux. None of that hasn't solved the issue either. I am using a Nvidia GTX 650 ti and I have the drivers for my distro installed for the card I am using. Before, I didn't have this issue with Mint 17.3. I just recently switched to 18.2. Also, for further info, I run my wine programs from a different drive in my system. Not the one that Mint runs on. Anyway, I'm stumped. :(

Other than that, the game is smooth when those events are not occurring.

My specs:

8 GB of ram
Q6600 2.4ghz processor
Nvidia GTX 650 ti 1 GB
