We've all wondered how the more skilled does it. Some people accuse of hacks, but that's just gibberish. You've watched videos, spectated players, but I finally have the secret formula for racing. Skill and FPS [Frames Per Second.] Let's be honest, you're not gonna win a race with your old Windows 98 PC that gets error codes when you launch SAMP. Use this guide below to boost your FPS.
These mods I will post are completely legal in the terms of AdrenalineX, these mods /WILL/effect your current ENBs. I am not responsible for the damage you cause to your GTA SA directory, however post here and I will do the best of my ability to help you.1. Let's start with the basics. Your PC can't handle the vast graphics of GTA, we've all lagged. Start by lowering your Resolution to the lowest possible. The options available depend on graphics card. To get to these settings, enter Adrenaline X (or any SAMP server/singleplayer) server and go to your pause menu. This can be accessed by going to "ESC". From there you'll want to go to Options -> Display Setup -> Advanced -> Resolution. Turn it to 800 x 600 x 32. You can go lower, but it'll look really horrible. Now don't leave that area yet, there is more work to do. Toggle the following settings:
Visual FX Quality: Low
Visual Distance: None
That's it for this area. Next area, 3rd Party Modifications
2.Be sure to backup all the files that you replace. Lets start by explaining the mods you'll be downloading.
Stream Memory Fix:When too many high-res textures are added to the game they disappear because there isn't enough memory to load them.
GTA Shrinker:Exactly what it says. It shrinks your GTA graphics down, and in memory size to make it easier to read by your computer.
Misc. Files:I honestly can't explain these. Rockstar is responsible for naming the files. However, I promise you it won't crash your game. I've been using this trick for about as long as I've been playing SAMP.
3.GTA Shrinker. A simple installation. This shouldn't be too difficult, however I'll walk you through it. Do not worry about it crashing your game, the program itself keeps a backup.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/7m574rdv7sk6kv0/GTAShrinkerWin.exe There are no viruses, trust me. Start by downloading the executable file, and wait for it to open. Make sure your game is closed for this.
The developer was too lazy to install a browse button, so you'll have to do it manually. Go to your GTA SA folder typically named C:\[HardDiscDriveName]\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\ GTA SA. If you have it in another directory go to it. Now, where you see the names at, the address bar of your Windows, Copy it. See screenshot#1 Hit Shrink and you're all done. You'll notice a drastic difference in FPS.
4.Stream Memory Fix:This part of the tutorial is mostly copying and pasting. This won't be difficult at all. Download:
http://goo.gl/9BHp4U Please, do not worry about it saying Euro. It works perfectly fine for me, and my gta_sa.exe is USA version. The only way the stream memory fix will work is if ASI Loader is installed. This is automatically installed by CLEO if you have it installed.
Seriously what rock have you been living under if you've never heard of CLEO for GTA SA. :3 CLEO can be found here.
http://cleo.li/cleo4/CLEO4_setup.exe Follow the installation instructions then you're finished. When the installation is finished, download Stream Memory Fix and place it in your
*ROOT* of your GTA SA folder. Anywhere else will not work. Installing this is done.
5.EffectsPC.txd: Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/k738sfuu6fboh63/effectsPC.txd Very simple installation, go to your GTA SA folder then to your models folder then extract the file there. This. "C:\\[HardDiskDrive]\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\models\" The file goes there, be sure to replace. Cannot be stated anymore clearer.
6.SA Timecyc (weather) Modificaton URL:
http://goo.gl/muCYvB (Download the latest version) Same as above, but in a different destination of the file. The location should be "C:\\[HardDiskDrive]\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\data\" Move the file there, replace.
7.
Clouds and Dust Remover <Title. Files are here.
http://goo.gl/Qyf9ul Those files, besides the info.txt goes in to your models folder. That should be here "C:\\[HardDiskDrive]\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\models\"
Note: If a dust storm is selected as the weather for a race, it will still appear like rain does. That's it! Your GTA should be running at a much higher rate for those of us who own lower end
