GTA on Windows 7
#1
Hi,

Since installing Windows 7 my ping hasn't been great. I've gone through all the possible reasons, and attempted to fix this, but nothing worked. On the SA:MP client, my ping readings are around ~50, but in-game it rockets all the way up to 300-400.

- At first, I thought I may have exceeded my download limit for the month of November, but my download speed is what is usually is (2.80MB/s).
- Then I realised that Windows contact your ISP if they catch you doing illegal activities. (i.e. downloading an operating system). Enough said about that. :X If that was true, it would effect my download speed before my ping, surely. :?
- GTA SA is running in Windows 98/ME compatibility mode, set to run as administrator and (together with SA-MP) is running at the highest priority (Task Manager). It's also worth mentioning that; running it using any other mode, crashes GTA SA.

Other than waiting until December (20GB download limit), I can't think of anything else to do...

Many thanks,
Phyc0

That is all. :w

I'd appreciate genuine help, Jerome. There are other players using Windows 7 who have no such problems.

P.S: O+

I'll have you know I searched Google for you, bitch! Couldn't find shit, maybe you are just failing. Is it a genuine copy of 7?

Ok? Doesn't prove anything... for example:

What? You asked the question, and I gave you the answer.

Yes, my copy of Windows 7 is genuine.

Yeah but is it really? My copy of XP may not (D:) be genuine, still validates. I don't see anyone else having issues, not even on SA:MP forums. Maybe you're running something,some program that's interfering with SA:MP.

It is genuine, I remember activating it. ;)

I don't run much programs at boot, so I can't see what could be interfering with GTA SA. :+
