Hi acal3000,

If your problem is not related to the no-CD patch then, please, contact the game manufacturer or the game publisher or search around the official game support forum. Good luck,

Joe

you could try disabling any other software running in the background, e.g take unnecessary stuff out of the startup by using msconfig in run, and unselecting stuff you dont need to be running. Then ensure you disable anti-virus and firewall before starting up the game.

Start at the lowest res in the game, and build it up to an acceptable level in terms of performance vs quality.

I think your pc covers the requirements easily enough, so its strange that it doesnt run too well.

I'm guessing that your graphics driver is up to date.

Hope this helps.

GeForce MX4000 is the problem. Poor videocard.

Someone revived my old post, anyways it seems I have found the problem. It seems to be the service pack 2

4 days ago I formated my computer again and installed win xp without any updates and reinstalled mafia again and was working fine I reinstalled the sp2 and started to lag again
