Post by: Cdarmy on November 21, 2007, 08:01:12 AM
I just got a new PC and for some reason I have a problem... ill explain, it so far has happend with GTA San Andreas, Gta Vice City and Need For Speed Underground 2...

What happends is.. in VC and SA the game runs with 60 fps! so its like SUPERFAST!! I need to bring it down to 30 FPS ya know what i mean? and Need for Speed goes like.. normal for 5 seconds.. and then the frames go up for 5 seconds and its superfast again!

I really hope someone knows how to fix this problem because i havent been able to stunt or race sofar

just google once... also update your graphics driver. if you use an LCD just use 60hz - also this is the reason why a frame limiter can be found in pc games...

Start doing the things people tell you before you ask again.

I had the same problem, and there's only one way to solve it. The thing is you installed the display drivers given with the GFX card, which is not the right thing to do AT ALL. Even if you download the new drivers from the manufacter's website, it won't work.

The only thing to do is format your HDD and install the good drivers when it will be done.

I don't believe in this sentence
If we are talking about drivers here, windows drivers to be exact, there is no way, that they are firmwares too. Also the HDD is not linked to windows in any form..

Then select the correct driver next time -.-
I mean, nvidia imo has, after gamedev and fedora one of the best pages in the net. its so simple... click one box, do the next step etc. Then you get your download link. So just select your stupid card family/model.

I m independent nvidia developer myself, and this is the exact message if the productid is not defined in the driver. So you MUST have downloaded a wrong driver or your motherboard / windows returns crap.
Try deleting the videocard in the devicemanager and reboot. Then install the new driver after.

Yes, that is what happened when you update the drivers. You can play it normal for a bit, and then it starts again

Format your HDD and install the correct drivers =)

Why? Don't you have anything where you can backup the most important files? A complete format takes maybe an hour or less.

Maybe you should just listen to Fox, hes saying what you should do and you just ignore him.
