Constantly lag

[Jerome]

Many players complaine and blame me for laggin lately, I do also notice it myself. I barely can shoot/aim during gun fights, barely can drive without crashing into items, and when people walk, I RUN much slower, pretty annoying.
So if any of you, dear community members, has any tip to advise me I'd be more than thankful

FPS lag or ping lag ?

[Paulo_Jamejos]

1. Close any Internet backgrounds e.g Skype and utorrent etcetera. Or use game booster.
2. C->WINDOWS -> Temp -> delete EVERYTHING ( don't afraid, I did it too )
3. Antivirus update.
4. Overheat checking

Got a single sasf's mandatory mod. I hardly believe it is the main problem

Well, you can increase your performance by using disk clean up, disk defragment
what's your OS, windows xp/ 7 / 8 ?

[Vega]

Draw distance - 0
FPS limit - Off

I clean and defargment it once in a short while.

I use W7

[Yuri Zakhaev]

Well you can try to lower your resolution to increase your FPS, also lower draw distance and turn FPS limit OFF, it will surely increase your FPS
But if you still have low FPS then maybe you'll need to lower your visual FX quality too or

Also, close applications & processes which you dont need while you're playing ( through task manager )

EDIT:
Take a look on this thread too ( if you dont care about your graphics quality and need FPS boost )

[Paulo_Jamejos]

The problem might of them not of you ...

[Jerome]

I don't think so lol

[Jakie]

[Daci]

Your PC's specs ?
And make sure that "Frame Limiter is OFF and screen resolution is normal or compatible for your PC specs.

Any hardware you suggest me to upgrade/replace?

[Yuri Zakhaev]

Your graphics card + get another 2 GB RAM and upgrade your OS to 64 bit

You can tell us your budget too
2 GB of RAM is not expensive, it's around $20-30

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.
