Buddy Foote's Blog v.2: First Play

Well, I just played the gameplay after figuring out how to import a save file and user tracks for the radio station. At first, San Andreas didn't lag at first, but then after using the SA Console for a while and trying to print out cheat codes which I didn't even do in the end, it lagged terribily. Also when I tried teleporting using the console, all I did was fall through the ground, respawning near the geyser/Big Ear. I am amazed with the draw distance, but being how laggy the game got, the textures spawned wrong and it looked pretty ugly. You'd have to stand in a spot for about two minutes before the textures loaded correctly. Although I never restarted my computer since I downloaded it so that could be a major problem.

I did get some images nevertheless so here you go:

This is the tracks I put on my own radio station. A pretty diverse selection if you ask me. I didn't want to overload with the amount of songs thus producing even worse lag.

This is a look at the SA admin console.

A SWAT tank and two go-carts in Johnson's garage. The saved game already had these in here, not me using the console.

A plane flying over CJ's head while he's next to the geyser where I spawned after falling through the ground.

Trying to steal a car, in slow motion. It was horrible. I had to press the ENTER key about thirty times before I actually even approached the car door to jack it. As you can see, that tractor trailer is moving at a fast speed and that's trouble for me. Although with the admin console, I set it up so CJ cannot get hurt so...no trouble besides for the peds in the cars.

Heading up to the big ear so I can test out the draw distance. It took me a good five minutes to drive up there with the lag.

You might have to view this in full view. It just had to get dark when I wanted to test out the ghetto draw distance. Although if the picture comes out clear, you'd see that you can view San Fierro a little bit and I believe Red County. Amazing....
