[Resolved] GTA: San Andreas Running Real Slow

[fergatron]

Hi Folks,

I got GTA: SA to start (even though the first screen is blank until I hi ENTER), but usually 5 sec. into it, it'll start to run really slow. So slow I can't play the game. I'm running Fedora 8 with a nVidia 8600 GT. I believe I have the manufacturer's drivers installed or lvidia, but I can't tell. I do have WoW working on it just fine, if that helps any. Thanks.

erm, did you try to tweak shaders and other things in the graphics tab in
winecfg?
also, what's your wine version?

Hi,

I'm running version 0.9.58. I'll try playing with the shaders. I assumed it would be fine since WoW works, but I guess not every game is universal.

Edit:
Well that seemed to work. I took off Vertex shaders and the game runs smooth. Thanks, now i just need to look up what vertex shaders are.

You should disable shaders in winecfg, it will run faster then! Also try to
change resolution and quality in the game itself. Updating to latest Wine
could maybe help too...
