I get this too, but on my geforce3 ti500. Also I can run the game perfectly fine on 1600X1200X32 with full everything and it works really well but when there is a helicopter near to the ground and you get the wind effect from the rotors it goes all slow. Does anyone else get this and can u fix it?

p.s. I have the 1.1 patch as well and it still does it.

have you installed the 1.1 patch?

LOl it is impossible with the keyboard, i am going to buy a controller just for it :(

i can't even get past the one where you have to plant the bombs to blow up that building >:o

I beat it first try.. I dont understand what the fuss is about. I guess I could post some tips.

Do the mission once, but dont pick up bombs. Just go through the building and find where all of the drop zones are for the bombs. Then, restart the mission and take a bomb doing the first floor, then second etc. in order. If you get too many people chasing you, set the helicopter down and tilt it towards the group of people. This will cause them all to die, making it easier for you. You can take it slowly because you have enough time. I finished it with 1:30 left. Just take it slow and master the controls of the helicopter and you will be good.

the mission to bomb cubans boats with a mini rc plane is really frustrating!!!11

heh I actually love that mission so much I actually replayed it several times after I completed it.....I can bomb the cubans boats while they are still on the dock..2 runs and once for the guy getting away heh

i am having trouble getting the biker boys to join and protecting the concert. I gotta go a motorcycle race and the closest I came to finishing is second..

I just read the whole thread (in about 3 hours :omg: - 28.8k speeds for going over the download cap when i got a fake vc :().

I don't get the fuss about RC helicopter mission, I've only played VC once, on my friends PS2, and that was the only mission that I did, and I only did it in one attempt.

Well maybe the PC version is harder, I'm going to buy (yes people, this game is worth buying) it after exams :)

Indeed, I find it hard controlling the game using a PS pad (using one of those USB converter thingummybobs) as basically the right analogue stick seems to be the wrong way round (up/down is swapped with left/right and vice-versa) and no tinkering with the controls in the game or the game controller settings seems to fix it ... However playing on Classic control settings (in-game) seems to help, you just cant look around in game

Damn, that's the same problem I have :( and I can't find a way to reconfigure them either :(

At least its not just me then, overall tho, i find it a lot easier (even with Classic Controls) to control than with keyboard/mouse ... Never thought I would ever say that about any game :blink:

I'm having trouble with the one after this one where you have to cause as much mayhem as possible, just can't do it lol.

in regards to the motorcycle race do not use the bikes outside the biker club, there are 2 types of harley style bike and those are the slower ones of the two, that's the only advise i'd give, other than, if they tear off ahead of you keep playing the mission as they crash all the time when i do that mission, which leaves you catching up all the time :)

as for the RC chopper i just scouted the mission 1st to see where the bombs go then restarted the mission and worked from the top down, seemed easier this way :)

    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
