Girish Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Do you mean the black roads? If that's what you mean, then there is no known solution to it besides upgrading your graphic card. Which graphic card do you have, btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... That's the exact same integrated video card I had on my older PC and I could never get rid of the black roads. Sadly, it's something you'll have to live with unless you upgrade.

How much did ur new video card cost? And is it good, cuz i might be buying more RAM and new video card soon.. since RAM is hella cheap, 2GB for only 25euros.

JustADummy Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Girish, I believe that the black roads are fixed if you put the patch... I mean, they ARE actually fixed, I saw by myself when I had the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) My new video card is a ATi HD 4850 that cost me about $180. But that's maybe because I'm in India. It should cost lesser where you live. Besides, it depends on what your budget is. @S-V: I'm not sure if it is supposed to fix it. It's supposed to fix the crash when you enter advanced display options. - Crash when entering advanced display options with only 32 meg of video ram (32 meg of video ram is not supported and will only allow use of 640*480 in 16 and 32 bit. At this resolution it is likely you will see the "Black Roads" LOD problem). We do NOT however disallow machines with 32 meg of video ram from running GRAND THEFT AUTO: San Andreas. I was running the game at a higher resolution than that but I still used to get the black roads issue. Edited January 3, 2009 by Girish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigge Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 For some reason i cannot install the patch, it whines sumthing... ;( Sux. How about 2.0? O.o wuts that. Girish how high did u run it?

I have tried to download the patch for it on ATI but it says its not the right, it is, its only Ati Radeon Xpress Series (WIERD??) Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I ran the game at a resolution of 800x600x16 at all settings low. Additionally, I turned off sound acceleration that helped me gain a few fps. Go to Start > Run > Type 'dxdiag' > OK > Sound. Drag the acceleration slider to the left. And the patch won't work if you have v2 or you're using a no-cd crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
