Vice City Rez unchangeable?

Regs

The Rez for Vice City is locked at 640 x 480 x 16 . And whenever I take off the frame limiter the game's graphics flips out. Is this the normal Rez for this game? Because there seems to be a lot of jaggies that come with it.
 
The rez gets locked when you start or load a game. Quit, then restart the program. Before you load a game or start a new one, go to your display options and change the resolution to whatever your hardware will work best at (what is your hardware, btw?). And what do you mean by graphics "flipping out"?

When I use the frame limiter, it helps out a lot. At 1600 x 1200 32-bit with Frame Limiter on, it's nice and smooth at 30fps. If I drop to 1024x768x16 and turn off Frame Limiter, it's a choppy 80-100. Very odd. Also, it didn't play nice with Vsync off, so I turned it on since it would never hit my refresh rate anyway.

Your results may vary greatly. I'm using an XP 1700+ @2.24 and a ti4200.

In my sig 🙂 . I'm still running a 15'in LCD untill I get my 17'in CRT monitor. I'm also running with good hardware so framerate at high rez should not be a problem.
 
I don't know if this is your case, but you might be missing the 'confirm' step. I always thought the settings in GTA and GTA:VC were weird -- you have to flip to the resolution (or option) you want, then confirm it with a mouse click to actually set it. It doesn't automatically save your settings when you leave that menu like most of the other games out there.

Yup, you need a "flick-n-click" here 🙂

Make sure you do it before loading any new/existing games (ie just as you start up VC) 🙂
