[ANSWERED] Smooth gameplay

[Anaconda]

Do you have any idea how to make your gameplay as smooth as possible? Sometimes I lag at shootouts and it's really annoying. I want my screen to turn fast and smooth. Also, please tell me what the best mouse sensitivity is and what you prefer.

So that's why it's so hard to roll you.
I still roll you tho'

If you want a smoother gameplay, come live next to me.

Buy a good PC, as less as possible of shitty mods etc. And a good net, a razor mouse, and 42 percent mouse sensitivity.

I got 50 ping

Is there anything I can do in the in-game options that will make it better

[V3num]

Not really much mate. I know what you mean, but it's not really working like that, IG n stuff.

I once tried adjusting the draw sensivity to 0 in the in-game options, and my game worked smoothly. Not like that anymore though.

Get a 144Hz monitor, and make sure you can run the game with a steady 144 FPS.

Try that :

Here, I am going to put all possible causes/solutions to your FPS lag.

1) Lowest graphics settings.
2) Closing of unneeded applications on the background.
3) Virus check.
4) Mod removal.
5) Stream Memory Fix.
6) GameBooster.
7) Overheat checking.
8) Other ways to slightly remove lag.

1. Join a random server/or single player in GTA SA.
2. Press ESC.
3. Go to Options/Display Setup
4. Go to Advanced.
5. Eliminate Draw Distance, also Frame Limiter, and set the Visual Quality to Low. (Something similar to the screenshot below.



1. Open Task Manager by pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE.
2. Go to processes tab.
3. Sort them out by Memory Usage (last tab)
4. Close all unneeded applications such as iTunes, Adobe Photoshop, Google Chrome/Firefox/IE, etcetera. (If you don't need them while playing.)
5. Find gta.sa application, and set it's priority High.


1. Download an anti-virus software, there are a lot that are free so do your research.
2. Remove all viruses, because it may be a cause of ruining your in-game experience.

1. If you have any modifications downloaded, remove them all (How-To explained below).
2. If you have the backup of gta3.img, just replace it with the original one. (works if you only have files that you modded - such as deagle.txd/dff)
3. If you don't have any backup of the original gta3.img, you have to uninstall your game (GTA:SA).

1. Download this file.
2. Read the instructions on the RAR file. It will fasten your texture appearing in game.
3. Any problems? Check here

1. Download: Gamebooster
2. Install it, and run it.
3. Put it in gaming mode. (Also defrag your gta.sa)

1. Download: SpeedFan
2. If the results show (by a Fire ICON) that your desktop/laptop is overheated, try playing with the window open.
3. If it doesn't improve, open the cover of your desktop/laptop and with a vacuum cleaner SLOWLY and CAREFULLY clean it.
4. Cover it up again, and play.

1. Press F7 once when playing.
2. Delete gta_set from GTA San Andreas User Files.
3. Re-install your game/SAMP.

I wanted to smoothen my gameplay too. It's all about buying a beast computer or upgrading your current.

[Vega]

Draw distance - 0
FPS limiter OFF
Also, remove all heavy skin mods (sasf ones) and uneccesary vehicle mods.
