Guest Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Sometimes every so often, the game freezes for a few seconds and I hear the CD drive make a noise. Anyone know how to fix this? Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 clean your disk/cd drive Link to comment
StAnToN Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 get a no cd crack but no more talk about warez in this forum! Link to comment
Si|ent Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Try a full install. this will pace the radio stations on your hard drive rather than forcing the game to read them from the CD. Its your CD Drive spinning up to speed that causes those microlags. Could also have success moving the CD to its own IDE so its master as i suspect u have it slaved to your primary Harddrive.

swift Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 cd crack is also good, switching cds is such a hassle, also, cd cracks are not warez. Link to comment
dystopia Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I'd agree, for those who don't, they could even use daemon tools to load up an iso they made of the second disc...waste of space i guess tho. Link to comment
eAi Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 cd crack is also good, switching cds is such a hassle, also, cd cracks are not warez.Techincally, they come under the term warez because they're illegal (modifying the exe is against the EULA). Concequently, MTA don't condone their use, though they don't actively try to prevent it.eAi Link to comment
Guest Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Well it's a brand new comp and i'm only using 1/10th my harddrive. I'm using a DvD/cd-rom combo and have it on master seperate from my harddrive which is on the other IDE. I'll see if a cd crack helps but shouldn't the game function properly without it? I also did the full install when I installed it and I have the latest patch. Link to comment

No-cd cracks exist because of such reasons (and people who don't buy the game), but anyway, its because people either don't like switching cds, or have cd drives that can't cope with the speed, that no-cd patches exist.eAi Link to comment
Guest Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 do what i do. play the game off a virtual drive. much faster and alot more convienient than a cd... Link to comment
eAi Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 ... Or use a no-cd patch - much easier. eAi Link to comment
Slothman Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 the problem with the nocd patch however is that not all are compatible with mta, and who knows, maybe there are side-effects. a virtual drive seems like the more foolproof way of doing it, but a crack definitly takes less space on yer drive Link to comment
