What in God's name is it doing, ffs?!
Its the first time I've installed it on Windows 7 since having it on Windows XP before that. The framerate within the cars - even the very start sequence where you pickup your cousin is absolutely shocking - easily sub-10fps and it pauses for about a quarter of a second every 20 yards or so.
On foot, it's fine (though riddled with jaggies as Rockstar couldn't be arsed with VSync by the looks of it) and twice I've set the Enter vehicle key to be the 'End' key - only for the game to then switch it to 'F' of its own accord?
FPMSL - it's horrendous - and I haven't changed any of the settings either :S. The in-built benchmarking tool ran fine (the one with the guys chasing each other on bikes and firing guns) - so you would naturally assume that the game itself would run in similar terms in performance? Obviously not.
Short of installing this on some Cray super-cluster, I can't for the life of me work out why the performance of the game is so s**t - other than its a very, very, very, very poor console port (again). Graphicially, I've got several other games that wipe the floor with this and don't even break a sweat running with more advanced graphical options enabled.
Looks like this one is to be condemned to the shelves - I simply CBA in even justifying the time to get it running well.
Poor, Rockstar........ piss poor.
