If your computer starts up in the 24 bit version of the game with fuzzylooking graphics, try re-selecting the screen mode from the F11 menu. Thisshould cure this problem. High colour GTA uses a built-in version of the “univbe” display driver toprovide its multitude of 15, 16 and 32-bit display modes.
If your video cardis not recognised by the univbe check, or if you change your video card andthe check does not update to it, try running uvconfig. exe in the gtadosdirectory. If that doesn’t work, try running 24-bit GTA by typing”gta24 -nounivbe” in the gtados directory. This will cause it to skip univbeand use your video card’s native drivers instead. Alternatively, get hold ofthe latest version of univbe from SciTech Software, and run it as a TSR beforerunning GTA.
Windows Drivers ( Grand Theft Auto DirectX )—————GTA DirectX will only work correctly if you have the latest Windows 95 DirectX Microsoft-certified driver for your video card. Your video card vendorshould be able to supply this. Some of the latest versions of drivers will allow the use ofHigh colour / Low resolution screen modes (recommended). An example of thisis the Matrox Millenium. Gravis Ultrasound—————–The DOS version of GTA, run under Windows 95, will not play anysound effects with an Ultrasound, UNLESS you shut down windows into MS-DOSmode, or change the PIF from DOS-Box to MS-DOS mode. DOS Version – CD Sound———————-To allow CD audio to play on the DOS version of GTA, when run under abootable version of DOS, make sure that you have the MSCDEX driver loaded.
On a Windows 95 machine, if you play the DOS version through Windows, orin a DOS box, you should get CD audio. Sidewinder Control Pad – In DOS GTA———————————–The Microsoft Sidewinder pad is not compatible with DOS GTA. However, itcan be used with Windows (DirectX) GTA. Voodoo Graphics (3Dfx) Users—————————-GTA supports 3Dfx Glide 2. 42 and higher. Voodoo Graphics users must havethis updated version of Glide installed on their system.
To install theupdated Glide runtime driver kit, run the grtvgr. exe file in the 3Dfxfolder of the GTA CD. Note that we recommend 32MB of RAM to run 3DFX GTA.EMM386 (DOS)————In DOS 6.22, If you have the line DEVICE=C:DOSEMM386.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS,play GTA, quit then press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reset the machine, you may findthat the keyboard does not respond any more.Book Reports
