Those maximum temps were reached when I just sat in my car with the radio tuned to Self Radio

sicko-wistful Thanks a lot, Rockstar

    What the actual fuck?

    Like, we could do this shit back on the OG Xbox, a machine that had to powercycle itself to let Morrowind load, without hiccups.

      It's not just playing back mp3 files. For example, if you leave your car radio on and leave your car, the game applies all kinds of environmental and spatial effects to the audio to make it sound like the music's blasting out of your car's speakers

      I still can't believe it taxes your CPU this much what-the-hell

        Real-time audio processing is one of the more intensive things CPUs do, and when it gets out of realtime it's noticeable real quick and not-good. Obviously there's some problem with how they've implemented calculating it versus the normal radio stations though. Weird the WAV conversion doesn't work, I'm positive I did that years and years ago. What patch level are you on?

        Knowing Rockstar's record with PC ports they probably just screwed something up.
