Well that's not normal...

[CeeKay]

K, so I got a wild hair up my bum yesterday to start playing GTA:SA again... I wanted to cruise around in all my wicked awesome cars (mostly downloaded from here. )...

So, I reinstall off an iso (CD got screwed up, and I'm hella glad I backed it up)... I started playing, and really the only error I got (this has happened since fresh install) was that the sound would occasionally be too quiet, or not be there at all...

That never bothered me, because there are subtitles.

This, however, bothered me...

After a little bit of playing and cruising around, I ended up trying to get into the LS airport by the usual means of either ramping a car off the slanted car hauler truck, or bunny-hopping at the right spot...

I ended up cruising around for the slanted car hauler, and I hit the highway, and the game suddenly went into warp-mode...

Instead of the clock's minutes going by seconds, it was going at least 2-3 times faster... This happens in a bunch of different spots on the map, and inside buildings. The clock literally zooms past. I can stand in a hot-spot outside and watch an entire in-game day zoom by in a matter of around 3-5 minutes. It's very annoying to be driving, and all of a sudden, you're warped 600 meters down the road, and into the back of a really large, really hard vehicle. :\

Does anyone know what my problem is? Could the ISO be screwed up? I tried reinstalling, and this happened on an unmodded version (I was going into the airport to look for plane names to mod, actually. )

Thanks,

Hi CeeKay. Please read the Rules again. Your not allowed to use an ISO file of the game. You must use a CD. Buy another CD, and I can help you.

Rule #4:

No warez - Discussion about illegally obtaining copyrighted material is strictly forbidden. < Please buy another CD and you can get more help. Reply to this topic when you get a new CD for GTA SA.

"Discussion about illegally obtaining" I might point out. Meaning if I came on asking what the best torrent for the game was... I made the iso myself, from my own CD, and it says nothing about using your own back-up disc in the rules.

Please help. I feel like I'm stuck in a Benny Hill movie!

Nevermind. A different board helped me.

Apparently, my dual-core processor is causing all this havoc. So, there's a stabilizer program that I downloaded... For anyone suffering a similar problem, I've supplied the link down closer to the bottom.

Search tags:

too fast, dual, core, dual-core, AMD, warpspeed, warp, speed, too fast, clock, holy sh*t, fix, bug, Grand Theft Auto: Benny Hill

Thanks for yelling at me for almost maybe breaking no rules! Really appreciate all the help the German board gave me.

Yelling? Who said I was yelling?

Sorry about that anyway.

Glad you found a fix for it.

Could the ISO be screwed up?

Probably. Buy a legal copy.

Don't get pissy when someone points out you you blatantly break the rules. ISO = warez, period.

ISO = warez, period.

Not really, but ok.

Don't get pissy when someone points out you you blatantly break the rules. ISO = warez, period.

The rules say absolutely nothing of the sort.

The rule is to keep people from discussing torrents and file sharing... Not that you can't use your own back-up.

Illegally obtained .iso images = warez.

.iso images you made yourself off of your own legitimate copy of the game = backup.

Huge difference.

I only included the .iso information because I didn't know if my copy had been corrupted somehow or anything. I'm glad it isn't, because it's my only backup CD for SA.

A rule that was misread, plain and simple. Either way, I'm sure this exact scenario wasn't thought of when they put the "no warez" rule up...

(Took a moment & re-read your original post, word for word.)

In other words, you DO have the original disk, good. We've just gotten used to people blowing in & wanting help getting

their downloaded copy working, no offense intended. Read through similar topics & these stories are usually accompanied

w/ some excuse why it should be okay for them.

Your problem will probably require a re-install of your game. On top of that, I'm guessing you haven't backed up your

modded version. That means you'll have to re-install them also. This time, install one at a time & test the game a little

& save a copy of your edited files (GTA3.IMG, HANDLING.CFG, etc). I don't think a modded car is causing your "warp"

effect, but some downloaded cars may have glitches.

Unfortunately, that still leaves you w/ a screwed up disk. The best suggestion I can offer is to see if you can get it

re-surfaced (unless it's cracked or broken). A local game shop might help or find a unit called a SKIP DR. Your other

option is to find a new disk.

Hand operated units are a little less expensive, but I've had great luck w/ them.

If you're just after a plane at the LS airport, go to Ceaser's house & grab the Voodoo across the street. pull up to the

wall just west of the gate & use it for a step ladder. Up, over & in.
