What is Updated Classic?
Updated Classic is a big modpack that restores a lot features from PS2 and Wii versions, combines it with PC and gives a lot of improvements and fixes (that won't destroy original atmosphere), even exclusive ones so you won't find them anywhere else (if it hasn't been stolen). And we're working hard on it, spending hours, days and even months to fix some issues that can be already present in the games or can be caused by mods. And we're working a few years on this already.

Differences from the PC version

Changes from PS2 & Wii versions:
  • Textures (some are from beta).
  • Weapons and radar icons.
  • Vehicles.
  • Photos of students in the yearbook from Wii.

Fixes:
  • Added unused cutscenes.
  • Improved one loading screen.
  • Changed spawn (added faction leaders, pedestrians).
  • Added scaffolding to academy's roof.
  • Improved draw distance in some places.
  • Added Christmas music in shops (only for winter).
  • Collision loading code has been improved, fixing occasional crashes on initial game load.
  • Fixed game’s objects pool usage, fixing possible crashes.
  • Fixed an occasional crash when starting Nutcrackin’ or Music Class.
  • Fixed numerous instances of memory corruption on game exit.
  • Fixed an use-after-free in sound streaming code, causing a rare crash when talking to people.
  • Fixed handle leaks in audio code, preventing handles from accumulating during the game.
  • Fixed several memory leaks in audio code, preventing out of memory crashes during extended play sessions.
  • Frame Limiter has been made much more precise, so the game should lock at exactly 30 FPS now (as opposed to stock limiter being prone to dropping frames a lot).
  • Fixed an issue where game would use more CPU than required when minimized.

I don't know man, when I played is I had no issues besides crashing, but that's expected when you're modding old Rockstar games.

So imma just put it out there for everyone, Dont even bother with this, its broken as hell. These "fixes" aren't fixes. Just download silent patch and call it a day.

Duke Of Death PT, im stupid it didnt work

Duke Of Death PT, in short, I found how to fix the problem. You have to go to the folder with the game, go from there to the scripts folder, open SilentPatchBully.ini with notepad and set the value 30 in the FPSLIMIT line.
CyberБлюд 29 Mar @ 3:15pm 
Duke Of Death PT, bro, I have the same problem as you and I have an opinion on it. I noticed that the game is running at 60 fps, although the differences say that the lock is at 30 fps, most likely it can be fixed using a limiter, but I do not know how :)

Hey, so I'm trying to play this game on a controller as it's obviously designed to use one but I keep noticing some sort of delay, possibly input lag. I'm trying to use a plugged in Dualsense controller by the way. Do you know how to fix it?
Wtf is the point of the trailer 15th anniversary????? Wtf is the point of this whole post ????? What nerd takes time to write this post about "how to make your game graphics look much worser and downgrade its features" wtf ?????

The game suddenly quits after 10 minutes of gameplay. How can I fix it?
