Issues fixed
- An unlocked or incorrect frame rate cap can result in timing issues.
Related issues:
- Broken cutscenes (when a cut scene starts, the game seems frozen[7])
- It is noticeable upon starting a new game, when a black screen appears with the writing "Marco's Bistro, Liberty City, 1986".
- Random crash when changing resolution
- Cars that reverse extremely slowly and/or stop quickly after releasing the accelerator
- Inhuman difficulties while performing boat missions (such as "Stunt Boat Challenge")
- Boats that accelerate and move slower than they should be (like cars issue above)
- Game that runs almost comically quickly[1]
- Pedestrians seem to be "running" and cars move on and off screen extremely fast.
- Textures & models "pop in" too slowly[1]
- Certain models such as bridges or stairs take a few seconds to "pop in" even if the character is standing near to or next to the model.
- In the mission "The Driver", a character may fall through the a bridge.
- Vice City with almost no cars or pedestrians on the streets and seems a ghost-town.
