GTA on Windows 7

[Phyc0]

I'm running Windows 7 64bit, got no problems. I don't run GTA in compatibility mode either not sure why your game crashes without it. Its probably not a Windows 7 issue

I'm running GTA SA without compatibility mode now too; seemed to have lowered the ping, but not much.

its not the problem as i was running a cracked 7(there was no problem with samp) before i reinstalled windows

contact your ISP, maybe they have an outage or some kind of shit that makes your ping jump

I heard Microsoft contact your ISP and tell them to reduce your download speed if you're caught downloading Windows. Can anyone confirm that?

I also disabled IPv6 (in Local Area Connection) after reading this, but that only seemed to make it worse.

Thanks for all the replies, by the way.
