| TWRoO said: But did VC require higher specs than III? because my laptop only runs the latter for some reason (well it does run GTAIII, but it seems to have a 75% chance it will crash shortly before I get to the garage for the first save.... and if it gets past that point, there is horrendous pop-up of objects (sometimes about 5 seconds AFTER I crash into them) and is still liable to crash at any given time. I am not interested in it's graphics, first of all they are quite ugly games even at their best, and second I can look past pretty much any poor graphics as soon as I start playing a game. I don't think I will risk it unless I see it really cheap... the same as I did with Vice City (I asked if the game would run in PC World, telling the guy that GTAIII didn't run well, and he suggested it very likely would not.... but I bought the game for £3 a couple of years later and it works fine) My laptop is over 5 years old now, and while it was a decent enough model back then it wasn't built for gaming |

They get progressively higher, maybe it would help if you posted your laptop specs, but it's weird that it runs VC and not III. I'd say that if it struggles to run III, then it shouldn't run SA, but who knows
