I know my way around a computer, but i'm not really that tech-savvy. Having a 64 bit system probably isn't helping either. I also don't have the time to endlessly tinker, so if i can't get something working after more than a few hours i generally give up. You could probably get it working on a virtual machine, yes, but i just can't be arsed to go to all that trouble. I'm hoping GOG will come through eventually.Quote:

Playing the game at 60fps (with the exception of time square which occasionally dips to 30fps).Quote:

So much flickering in that video. It's easy to not notice if all you do is focus on the cars, but there's lots of window/building flickering going on that would drive me mental playing.
I actually started noticing that after a while. Turns out GTA 4 bugs out when the hardware resources are near maxed out. Dialled down the detail distance from 100 to 85 and the flickering disappeared.Quote:

This information is kinda worthless without knowing your CPU/GPU specs.Quote:

The thing that really bugs me is not being able to play older titles without the support of GoG or DoSbox (Not mutually exclusive, granted)
I get horrible clipping of both surface textures and entities, unresponsive shooting, a lot of missing sounds, and no music. Quakespasm runs like a dream, though! I feel that the game has much more resemblance to Unreal than to Quake 2 and 4. It's pretty obvious that they went for a completely new franchise with Quake 2.Quote:

Well I managed to complete the Story mode in "NFS:The Run" and I realised that the performance issues are the least of my worries...
They had a field day with that one, didn't they?? Let's take a racing game and include...
1 - Quicktime on-foot/combat sections
2 - Nasty memory-test mazes
3 - Helicopters shooting your car (avoid the invisible spotlight)
4 - Other people shooting your car (mostly quicktimed - thank god)
5 - Subway trains which go faster than a race-specced Ford GT40 (no RLY!)
6 - Pot-luck sections where crashing is more down to random 'luck' in traffic (the final section over the bridge is astonishingly twatty for this)
Hellfire...
Vivisector: Best Within.
For some reason I can't get it to run with anything other than software rendering and sound. Makes an already dated game look BLLLLLEGH.
King Arthur: The Roleplaying Wargame, because it has the most awful phobia of high framerates.
Messiah, Dungeon keeper 1, I own them on disk but apparently that's not good enough to get access to the latest gog developed patches.
^_^
Don't get your hopes up. I bought Messiah on GOG, and it still has a bug that makes the sound disappear when you go through a certain door. I haven't been able to fix it despite repeated attempts.
So, Messiah can be added to my list as well.
