Troubleshooting FAQ / Common Issues

First post, hello everyone! I bought SR3 recently because it was dirt cheap, and enjoying it a lot. With that said, I can explain the smoke/fog overlay bug.

(added spaces since I can't post links)

This can be reproduced by forcing AA (I specifically used 8xCSAA) through the nv control panel, and play in dx9 mode. I think it has something to do with the back buffers or whatever, not sure though. I also don't think this happens in dx10/11 mode, but someone who plays that mode would have to check.

To avoid this I just turn on AA in SR and use "enhance application setting" in the control panel.

Corrodias lost the file for his version of the fix, and I recreated it a few weeks ago for someone I know on the SA forums. I thought he was supposed to update and attach the new version to the OP. I'll check with him and see what's up.
 
thanks much guys! now i just have to figure out how to disable Mission replay, just in case. the wife's playing my old modded game on my previous computer, and it's been a year since i touched that install. so not sure exactly what is installed, or what is causing this problem. from skimming around i guess it's the Mission Replay feature of GoS? or Flying Orb?

edit: hmm maybe it's not mission replay. i added this m06modal fix, and removed the vehiclecamera.xblt. got to the ball part, and i had a better view. top down and could see the gangs shooting and myself (not moving tho), but the brute was invisible while attacking me and i couldn't move. it looked as if i'd die again, but then i think the next cutscene was starting. showed Lorenzo walking then game froze.
ya think if i just put back in the original patcheduncompressed.vpp and the compressed (i think i have the originals saved), that would work? then switch them back out after this mission?
 
That is almost certainly the Death Orb mod which changes that ball into a flyable vehicle. You need to rebuild GoS without it.
 
ah, well it'd been so long since i played i'd forgotten about that GoS bat file. so i just replaced those 2 compressed and uncompressed patch w/ originals i had saved. that got me thru the ball and mission. now i'll put the old ones back. hopefully all will work well. thanks
