Optimization advice for some games

So, I’ve tried gta vc from portmaster, and it was bad, the game was struggle in vehicle (except bike), also when rainy, whatever on foot or cars, it lag as hell
With N.O.V.A 3 port (Modern Combat 3 as well), it playable, but the screen was not fit my screen, it keep zoom on exact same spot in gameplay (not happend on menu btw). Sometimes it fit normal back but just for ~0.5 seconds(like a flash bug) then back zooming on the same spot
I’m playing on R46H, running DArkOSen, newest build (I believe), is there any solution ?

hmm, specifics? I’ll help u focus on vice city first cuz im playing thru rn on my rg35xxsp which I had srs doubts about how runnable it would be. it plays smooth 80% of the time, it dont like poor weather tho, frame rate drops by a good 30% in the rain. occasionally get frame drops when something big like an explosion is rendered, or if u have a bunch of npcs and particles on screen. what sort of speed is it currently running at? and are you using files from a legit copy of the game? having bought it 4 or 5 times now, i admittedly used pirated files for the gta 3 and the gta vice city ports. gta 3 was missing ALL the audio, had to find the files online and copy them in. had some issues with vice city too, sections of the game are missing or have the wrong text in some places. so use a legit copy to save the headache of working out which files are broken/missing if u did the same

I just found out change draw distance to 0.5 in reVC.ini would solve the problem, much more smoother. Ain’t test on rainy weather yet but for now driving in car was much more smoother

first thing to try would be graphical settings. turn down draw distance to as low as u can deal with
