I gave up with it and am just enjoying playing the game, AA is over rated anyway
This game is bloody beautiful at night time.

Excellent demo, I like the scale of things, the trucks seem huge and the sound effects are fantastic. Runs very nicely on my 8800GTS too at 1920x1200 on high.
K&M or Xbox controller for this? Downloading the demo as we speak, it's going at 2.8 MB/s. I love Steam!
I was really disappointed with GTA4 so hopefully this is much better.
Edit - Aye, not too bad. Might buy it a few months down the road when it's cheaper. Didn't like how it changed my brightness once I left the game though!

Apparently changing your monitor res then changing it back again fixes it, but i haven't had this issue to try it.
Ctrl-alt-delete then click cancel works for me, better than restarting still not ideal though.

Just had another go at it and now it seems to be working
Next problem, even with just 2x AA the frame rate goes through the floor.
Just change your resolution to something else and then back again. Will fix it. Shoulda said that before really. Sorry.

Thats why i dont use it. Looks like it needs optimizing for real AA. Probs why they gave fake aa in the ingame options lol cos they knew their game sucked with real aa.
lol apparently you can do lots with this demo. 
There is a patch to remove the 'killed failed mission' so you can go outside the boundaries. Also patches for infinite ammo and god mode. You can also run scripts to change the weather, get infinite money. Edit files to have different cars in your garage.

Yeh the m2console no longer works if you rename the exe as well, so screw AA.
Got two 22" 1680x1050 monitors on my 5850 and disabling the 2nd makes no difference on benchmarks when running the game on one screen and having the windows desktop on the other.
After playing the demo on both my pc (actually both my gaming pc and my gaming laptop) and my PS3 I can concurr that the console version is err not that great. It plays the same (in terms of gameplay) but the framerate is completely unplayable whilst in the actual mission.
The pc version is obviously a lot better and runs quite well (even taking into account the physx issues). It doesn't looks that great though. The DOF looks awful and the less said about the textures the better.
Gameplay wise I did really enjoy it although its a shame the demo doesn't show off a more original style mission.
I think I will get this game but not on the initial launch.

The 360 Version is far FAR better than the PS3 Version, and it has caused quite a stink on the official 2K forums from PS3 fans.
Links anywhere? If it's legal.lol apparently you can do lots with this demo.
