it seems whyile driving not only does the frame rate get really bad sometimes but it also stutters for a second every now and then. now while driving while it rains its just down right horrible. am i the only one with these problems?

honest people only please (i have no idea why people like about these things but they do)

oh also im playing it from the hdd

Not sure. If your clock is not set corectly set that, and delete the files in E:/cache, and also the ones in x, y and z. See if it performs any better after that, other than that, I have no idea.

so you're saying you havent had these problems? not saying you're full of it. ive already done all the stuff you mentioned

Iv'e not had these problems, because I have not played the game. I was merely advising you on what is known to me that may cause slowdown. Usually it's any of the above, as I have experienced it with other games from time to time. Other than that, I can't help.

please i thank you for trying to help but at least play the game before you comment on it

Did I make a comment on the game??....No. I simply answered your question, and gave you what may have been a "possible" solution to slowdown, as it does happen to some games, you play from hdd from time to time. The solution is usually either any of the above, or backup all your stuff to pc, format the hdd, rebuild it, and ftp your stuff back over.

been playing for 4 hours now no frame rate probs here. ... sucky camera but no frame rate prob

I've got no problem here.

And you are just an ass. He was trying to help you man, stop getting on his case for it.

Yes I mentioned the stuttering now and then. But there is nothing bothering me, if you have played the ps2 version this one runs smoothly .

how am i being an ass? i thanked him for trying to help so i dont see how you can say im being an ass. it seems peity is the only honest person here who doesnt think that god himself sent him down his xbox and modchip. really, whats with people saying certain games with frame rate problems are smooth? peity do you get the slight pauses?

yes, it reminds me back in the days when i was playing GTAIII on the pc with not enough memmory. It's like someone push the pause/play button very fast once in a while.

thanks a bunch peity you really made my day (i know im a loser).

Slowdown on the HD is usually down to either; Bad rip, dash settings or disc fragmentation.

Ok firstly rerip the disc, an original disc, to your HD using DVD2Xbox, HDDloader causes slowdown.

Next delete caches.

Next check your dash settings, if your using exox make sure TSR and IGR are disabled, if you are using another dash just turn everything off that uses up more ram.

Finally if that doesn't work reformat your F:/ drive as you probably have everything fragments making it hard to read therefore slowing down texture rendering.

If all else fails then just run it off the disc.

If all of that fails then it is unsolvable without a new xbox.
This is how I sorted out my HD slowdown probelms in the past. Good luck.

And no I haven't played the game as it hasn't been released in the Uk yet but I'm getting friday.

The mission where you go up to the mountain to kill and photograph the snitch being protected by the Feds has the worst slowdown I've seen on the Xbox.

Try driving through the trees to get to the log cabin and you'll see what I mean.
