Hi! I'm having a few problems with my GTA San Andreas game. First off, I'm not a modder. Although I'd love to be one I just can't get my head around all the elaborate principles involved in the tedious yet rewarding field of modding. Also VB is my language not C++. So go easy on the techno - babble although I'm pretty sure that it shouldn't cause any problems.
Anyways, my copy of GTA: SA is highly modded out. Most of them are car mods but I have got a couple of Building, Weapon and Plane Mods as well. I also edit the GXT files to change the names of the vehicles that I replace. Recently I downloaded and installed a few cars from JVT's latest collection that is on the home page of The GTA Place. It was after I installed these mods that I noticed that when I loaded up my saved game (Doherty: CJ's Garage) the buildings and roads keep appearing and then disappearing randomly.
For Example: I spawn outside the garage facing the railway station. The station takes a second to load up. Until then I can't see the windows, door, the grating on the windows, the row of trees outside the station, the road markings, anything. Once it loads up all of the above come into view but then in another second they all vanish only to start the loading process all over again from the beginning.
It looks like it's a bug with the Draw Distance and I think that it's trying to refresh too many times. It might be caused due to the enormous amount of modifications that I have made to this game. I could be completely wrong though! If you know what is happening then please help me out. This problem shows up in all areas of the game.
Another thing worth mentioning is that a long time ago I got a DrawDistance 10X Mod from here and used it for a couple of days before restoring the original timecyc.dat file. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I'm just telling you in case it helps.
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read all of this and if you can help then please do so. i'd be ever so grateful. The following is a list of all the mods that I have made to the game.(Yes, I do keep records.)
