I had a terrible experience with GTA IV on PC. The graphics are really bad and I could increase the graphics because it says my graphics card is 256mb but infact it can go upto 1.5gb. I am sure it usually runs close to 1.5gb as I have 4gb of RAM.

I hate the blurry graphics on this game, i really expected something that was good looking, Can You Run It test says that i passed the minimals but still this game looks SO bad! I have an Sapphire HD3870 Toxic edition which is poweful enough to deal with it, so it’s the crappy game itsself which s*ks

3. Better FPS and graphics:

It did not work for me In the config screen ingame it automatic change the resolution there to the one I had written in the commandline.txt file. Running the game on Windows Vista btw.

Well will try to delete the V-sync and some other stuff. Thanks anyway.

Oh that’s bad Jonez….
Did you add any other commands to shortcut? like norestrictions, etc? maybe thats the reason….
can you give more info about your config

Hi My friends
Grand theft auto IV
I faced many problems with it (playin it)
these problems were :
1- the screen was spinning in certain times.
2- cars were moving automaticlly without controling them.
3- logging to the internet within the game was unavailable( i mean while playing it )
some missions were not available ,they were available just on the inetrnet (while playing)
anyway I used the update(patch) of rockstar the one upthere and I used the other one plus
I used { offline activation patch }
without using the hacks things upther
they solved all my problems
except logging to net
its not abig deal
anyway this game is awsome I like it so much
if I can help anyone
this is my email
( aliegk@hotmail.com )
have fun and enjoy the game

Anti-viruses\spams etc…..
effect the game ,beaware
and yes it works on vista sp1
and rgsc means Regroupement Général des Sénégalais du Canada or Rio Grande Sailing Club lol
it has nothing to deal wid GTA IV

RGSC installs automatically with the game… it must be somewhere on the DVD
and there’s got to be some way to change the video config – my GF8600 256 is sure to take much more than just 800*600 @100

RGSC is Rockstar Games Social Club… the dual launch thingy required to have online play and the clip upload thingermasomthin. havent gotten that far into the game. i know this cus i used task manager to end task and it Social Club icon disapeared from my Task box thingy ma box over um that way —>

I have:

GeForce 8600 GT 256 MB
4GB RAM
2,6Hz Dual core
XP pro SP3

And the latest Nvidia driver.

My only problem is FPS lag. The commandline did not work. It looks like this:

-width 1440 -height 900 -availablevidmem 0.72291667

Any help appriciated.

Sorry, that’s a 512MB, not 256MB.

@Elie –

Or perhaps it means Rockstar Social Club, which it does.

@2re – you only need the remaining primary and secondary number such as 0.7 those extra numbers dont mean anything for the command to work right. also that high of resolution might be affecting it. also after game is fully launched and gamesave is loaded press ALT + Tab and then CTRL + ALT + Del and look for GTAIV.EXE and set its process not to the Highest possible but the next highest process possible. WARNING it sets its prority very high can cause over heats but allows game to run in front of most processes! USE AT OWN RISK!!!

Oh and for ATI video card users. the black goo on screen is “missing textures” if you have the ATI Catalyst program turn on Mipmapping to Maximum (quality) that may slow you down a bit but it gets rid of the problem

@2re –
sorry forgot to mention this one last thing that is very important for the commandline to work. open where your GTAIV game is installed. in the main folder you will see icons like LaunchGTAIV and gta4browser. that is where you want to right click – new – text document name that Commandline then open that and type exactly what you added to your shortcuts launcher such as -width # -height # and anything else such as -availablevidmem VERY IMPORTANT TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME. save the text document and close it. launch your game and poof u fixed the resolution command line issue

WOW im on a role i forgot u can add -novblank to the command line (both the text document and shortcut) that will force the V-Sync to ignore somthin that even if V-Sync is off it still sees. i added that and got almost another 5 FPS. even tho my comp is ancient

the v-blank disables the V-sync is on by default in GTA IV. Its useful for thos people who had severe frame drop issues after running the game for about 30min or an hour

heyy… ermm can i disable the V-Sync via the options in the game.. there is the opt. V Sync (Enabled/Disabled)

Hi Valk,

Yeah the V-Sync option is now available in the GTA menu after the title update. You can toggle it on and off from there itself.

i got gta game and i’m playing it on my computer it lags and i can’t do the missions or drive properly because of the lagging my computer is a hp Elite Media Centre m9280a AMD Phenom(tm) 9500 Quad core Processor 2.20GHZ 3GB RAm system type 32 bit Operating System Windows Vista Home Premium service pack 1 512MB Nividia Graphices card and i plug the VGA core to the monitor only not the hQ cord my HP Monitor is a 19inch HP w1907 can anyone tell me the problem what i need to do to make it stop LAGINg

Can you please specify the Graphics card model.

Hi,

My problem with GTA IV for PC isn’t listed here.. at times the game runs a bit slow.. but nothing I can’t deal with.

However, I’ve tried various nvidia drivers, but everytime I still encounter the same problem. Every single time I play the game.. all of a sudden the game totally freezes up. That’s the good version ’cause it allows me to alt-tab out of the game.

More often the screen just turns black and appears to have lost signal. And I don’t understand why.. I can still hear the sounds in the game/cutscenes, but I can’t do anything but reset my computer.

Does anyone know a way to fix that problem? I tried contacting rockstar, but they just tell me to update my graphics driver.. well, I tried with the latest, the one before it, and even the one before that… so that doesn’t help me.

Any replies will be greatly appreciated.

hey i downloaded the patch1 and it was patch3 so i downloaded it and i installed all its files into my game ans now when i launch it it say fatal error!!!
tell me how to undo what i did last night!!!

you gave me advise that stopped it from working so tell me how to undo installed patches!!!! AND YOU BETTER NOT BE LYING!!!!

Why should I be lying? Whenever I write about something I test it on my own pc.

Ok so regarding Patch3…
The patch 3 seems to be creating lot of problems for everyone. Even I had a lot of problem. I wasn’t even able to log into GWFL. Sometimes game even crashed. There is no way to uninstall the patch. You need to reinstall the game. i would suggest you not to upgrade to any new patch as soon as it releases. You just cant trust those patches straightaway. You can try joining gtaforums.com and check for the comments on new patch releases.

Sorry I don’t know how else to reach you but I wanted to tell you your contact forms are severely broken. You may want to look into it. I wanted to email you about my post: 12 things you need to know before installing Windows 7 RC. You and your readers might be interested in it. If you mention it, thanks a lot. Thanks for checking it out.

Hi,

I just checked the contact form and it’s fine. Well, if you still aren’t able to contact me then send a mail to webmaster@bizzntech.com

Thankyou for your interest
Joel

“Just divide the first number by the second one”

Which numbers do you mean?
800 divide in 600 or 8 divide in 6? Or something else?

yer im reinstalling the game but it wont continue it freezes on the movies/wazzle.bik

omg i left the game installer and a trafer error came up the pc version is such a big fuss!!! is it better if i just got the ps3 version of it???

@ Davy:
Its not 800/600

In the graphic options in GTA, you’ll find the video ram info

if you have 512MB video ram it may say 421/493. I meant those two no.s

I got some trick, this trick i just found yesterday. Download the 3rd patch of GTA IV, Disable superfetch(missing texture not longer happen after you install the patch). If you got an USB Flashdrive you may use them to speed up your computer. Open the flashdrive properties and find ReadyBoost. Configure how much Space you should use to Speed up the computer. I suggest you use 3.5 GB space. I bought new flash drive just to play my GTA IV with better performance. You may also use the commandline.txt and match it with your computer spec. Sorry about my english……….

Hi there louierulz12, in your GTA IV folder you GTA IV and Launch GTA IV.
After the patch, don’t run the game from “GTA IV”, run it using “Launch GTA IV” and it will take you to the RGSC, choose Play. Please tell me if it works to you

Hi, i have a logitech gamepad , it don’t work in GTA IV. what can i do, for this. i want to play it with gamepad

i have issue on GTA PC ESRB live DVD IV i need some help and i have the CD and it tell me what to do and i did it but it is saying that i have no CD and the ROM. But i do and it said error 10 something like that it is the game ever one having issues on and i was see if some one can help me? thank you for looking at it and having the time and have a good day! thank you.

Hi,
I’ve tried the hack but when i start gta 4 it says “fatal error:d3dfaild to reset. please restart game” when i restart the same message.then i deleted commandline.txt and the game ran as usual .please help me

what did you add in the commandline.txt ?

i’m still suffering from things disappearing
it will start out ok, but then after a minute or 2, most of the buildings and thing will disappear
i set the resolution to 800×600 and downloaded them 2 patches, i have less lag now, but things still disapear

Did you try enabling and disabling the super fetch feature in Vista? When it was disabled things started missing…. now its fine for me.
You can also try the latest update 1.0.3.0…
lemme know if the problem still persists

This is absolutely ridiculous….this problem shouldn’t even exist. With this release, Rockstar has probably began their stroll downwards. Lost a lot of loyal customers. I for one, will not buy a Rockstar game from this point on.

What about – does not even start??

Hi.

Just bought and installed retail version.

All installed OK – Live Games, RSGC login all OK.

Go to run game – no start.

Game is called from RGSC launcher. Goes to black screen after a securom UAC auth. The app hangs – generic Vista Hang.

Even lauch from own shortcut as administrator fails.

Have tried all the many patches and tips found hereabouts.

All vista patches – now SP2
Latest live games
Direct x 10 and updates
latest Nvidia drivers
.Net 3. sp1
C++ updates
cleaned and defragged.
de-installed / reinstalled 2x
Latest GTA IV Patch

still will not go.

Vista Home Premium Sp2
Duo Core T8300 2.40 ghz
4 gb ram
Nvidia GTX8800m Dual SLI 512mb
Direct X 10

Any other ideas?

@ BigBish62:

Your config is good… it shouldn’t be a problem. It should run the game.

It maybe some driver conflict. Try to get an older version of graphic drivers. First uninstall using driver cleaner to remove the driver completely then install a previous version.

Or….
There’s also a possibility of some malware or rootkit which isn’t allowing you to launch .exe files. Is this happening with other programs too?

Heh can’t belive 1.3 patch did sweet f all for performance looks like this game is never gonna be fixed what a waste

oh, didn’t see the 3rd patch

ok i downloaded it, now wat? x_x
its still doing the same as it was, and the super fetch says “active”

i mean, super fetch says automatic

>.<

Hi.

Still nogo with the game…

No root kits or anything. PC is fine in ALL else..

Am now with Rock* support – waiting on their feed back. Did all they said, which is pretty much in here and other forums, still no go.. Wait and see what they say..

yay, its working now~
had to update my driver

gta IV is running like a charm on my pc: C2D E7400; 2 GB RAM DDR2 800Mhz;Geforce 9500 gt GDDR3 512 MB, running at smooth 35 FPS (except when raining) with most details on high (reflections and water quality on low, they really can kill performance, also shadows on medium) at 1280×1024

Every single time I play the game.. all of a sudden the game totally freezes up
and I tried all patches 1.2.3.4
its the same sudden totally freezes up any help *and it’s com up in minimum game play (the freezes)

its working in a way thanx bro

Got the same problems.
Whenerver I play the game, it freezes may times and i get black screens.
2-5sec later the game contniues playing
Furthermore its really glitchy even with the 4th patch

The game is great… on a console, that’s for sure. I have experienced some strange things with Pc version. For example the game was more smooth (less laggy as well) on an Athlon 64 X2 2.4 (oced to 2.8 GHz) than on Phenom 9600 2.4 GHz, which as you know has TWO cores more!

That is why I do believe pure power of your CPU in GHz is more important than number of cores, in reality.

Additionally, upgrading a video card didn’t improve FPS in lower resolutions, it was the same in e.g. 800×600 with 8600GT as with 9800GT! More powerful gfx card only provides more FPS in higher resolution. But if you got like 40FPS with 800×600 you wont have any morewith more powerful gfx IMO.

The game should be REALLY optimized, especially for dual core CPUs. And in terms of rendering speed too.

Cheers.

Bartek,
I recently played GTA IV on my friends PS3, I was completely stunned to see that my pc graphics were way better! But the heli controlling on the cotnroller was fun.
But, as you said about bugs, yeah! Pc version has a lot of bugs. but, at present on my pc with the latest patch, gta runs perfectly without any crashes.

And GTA IV runs better on a faster dual core than a quad. Well, the i7s are a expection though!
Rockstar should work hard on the next version before releasing it out…. But nevertheless pc version rocks

my gta keeps hanging what do u think is the prob??? and sometimes it turns off by it self and would put out this thing that says out of video memory… sum 1 help me please.

if any 1 can help please email me :]]

killer5456@hotmail.com

u all are LOL because this game is on PC!!! BOT!!!!

I Have

Intel hyperthreading processor @3.00GHz 1mb L2 cache
4GB RAM
Windows Vista service pack 2 64-bit
EVGA 9500GT 1GB super Over Clocked to 712MHz

The game is running very slow even with low rendering, low textures and 0 shadows!! I’ve installed all patches for it but to no avail…..:(
Please help me!! thanking you in anticipation

The processor is a major setback. That’s the reason why you aren’t getting good frame rates. You need to have a faster dual core processor.

wenever i change or modify the graphics….the game won’t start…juz a blank screen appears..then i have to re-install everything…the default res is 1024* i want to set it 800* …but m unable to do it….please let me knw wot is the problem…i got 2gb ram ,geforce 8600gt and sp3…

Hi there,

I have a Q6600(4×3.0 GHz), 4890 1 GB and 4 GB RAM.
I play GTA IV at 1680×1050 with the GTA Environment Mod 5 installed (better colors and so on).
It runs smooth at 40fps, even in the integrated benchmark I get 59 fps!!

The game actually looks much better than the XBox 360 version!
First I didn’t think so, but if you compare the textures and sharpness of the screen it’s much better on the PC.
There is a nice comparison-video on youtube. Please watch it in HD, otherwise you won´t see the high detailed differences.

The only missing thing for me is the AA-support. Otherwise it would look just amazing!
There is a Mod called “ENB Mod”, which uses downsampling from very high resolutions, but then the framerate is very low, too. But the image quality is like a Nex-Gen-GTA V ! Wow! =)

Altogether, Rockstar Games did a great job on PC as well!
You have to get a better graphics card with 1 GB RAM to enjoy this game fully. ( I would suggest a used 4870 with 1 GB)

Here is the link for the Comparison-Video (PC vs XBox 360, GTA 4), watch it in HD:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD2NITZ4VY8

Here are some screens from the “ENB Mod”:

Greetings

Is there any possible way to run this game on this:
CPU: AMD Athlon Dual Core 4000+ X2
RAM: 2GB
OS:Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Graphic Card:nVidia MSI 7300LE 256

Ur config is good but the serious drawback is your graphic card…

Change your graphic card and it should be fine…

9500GT 1gb should be ok?

Well Gents… I have the following Config.
I7 950 3GHz
4GB 1333 Ram
Saphire ATI 5970… Need I say more?

I run the game at 1900×1200 and Draw distance cannot go higher than 30 as it claims I am reaching limit(999mb) when I have a 2GB card?

Anyway-I make it happy and play the game(original!!!) and it #@$%ing jumps!

I don’t have a good internet connection and upgraded for these new games-and it don’t work???

WTF!!!

Very upset…

If there is a way to resolve this-Please comment. Or Post a site to get good mods/patches/fixes that are not huge to download.

Cheers

Hi Dodge,

That sounds really bad. Looks like the memory on your card is not being fully utilized. That’s really disappointing especially when you have such a great config.

Ok to start with … which OS are you running?

Here’s a trick, hope it works out…
Create a commandline.txt file in the GTA main folder.
In it paste the following
-availablevidmem 1.5

this will make your video memory 50% more that is around 1.5 gb…
u can also try writing 2.0

Dear folks,

i’m experiencing some problems with this game: it works but very slow, even with minimum features (everything disabled, 800×600) i can’t have it fluid.
I think it’s only a lack of power of my pc, but i’m asking you, as i’m ok with minimum requirements.
i installed all the patches and did everything written above,except for the resolution thing (@800×600 is already slow), i got 4 GB free on that drive.

first things that will make you laugh at me is that my pc is a laptop: samsung r510 ass3.

so i got:
Core 2 Duo P7350 (2,00 GHz, 3 MB)
RAM 4 GB DDR2
GeForce Go 9200M GS 512MB

i think that the worst thing is the graphic processor, but i also don’t know if i can upgrade it without problems…stupid laptops!

may you give me any advice to improve the performance?

thanks,

luca

Hey!
I’ve got problems…
I’ve got Windows7 Home Premium 64bit.
I try to run the “autorun.exe” [i downloaded from piratebay, GTA.IVARENABG], and said: This program not compatible with 64bit version of windows. I said this problem to my friend, he’s got win7 H.P. 64bit, and the game works for him. What i do? Plz help.

Try running as administrator n c if it works

Joel->Doesn’t work

Any solution?

ehh… plz help with any ideas… i tired from this-.-”

GGamer well there you go that what happens when download illegal software. I hope your computer is virus ridden Now!! LOL you Tw*t. Its people like you who fuk up our games cause you wont pay 4 them and so game devlopent companys add copy protection to the games which fuks them up. ur a complete and utter fukin tw*t you w*nker!!!

I read some comments(not all) and I don’t know if it’s mentioned but I have a problem.
When I open the game, I play properly for like 3-5-10 minutes and it freezes up, it freezes and I have to alt+ctrl+del to close it.
I don’t know why and it’s definitelly not my system because the time I’m playing it(those few minutes before it freezes) I have almost 40fps(i think).
A couple of times it froze up and my computer shat down itself and rebooted. So annoying…

My system:
CPU-AMD PhenomII x4 955 Black edition running it at 3.8Ghz(1.4v)
GPU- ati sapphire radeon HD5770(a little little bit overclocked)
RAM-4GB (2x2GB) at 1600MHz
OS-Windows 7 x64 bit

Why is this occuring?
Anybody knows a sollution??

Hi Michael,

It’s all because of overclocking…!
GTA IV is not friendly with overclocked stuff…. I too had experienced similar a problem before. Do you have enough cooling for your overclock? Monitor the temperatures. My suggestion would be turn down your proc and gfx card to defaults and then run the game and see if the problem persists. Post the results here….

I suspect the problem is overheating.

I’ll try that, even though I doubt that’s the problem.
I’m saying this because my procesor is 33-35 degrees in idle and won’t go over 45degrees even when heavy load is required.
My gpu in full load is from 53degrees to 57 and idle, it’s 30degrees.
I’ll try that anyway, and I’ll post here the results.

I’m so dissapointed, the problem remains even though I have downclock cpu and gpu to stock speeds.
:/

Hey, dude, after doing it again, it kept being stable for long time, and I didn’t freeze.
Maybe you’re right..

GGamer (2)…
fuck! idont pay for a fucked software…. dude…

Glad it helped you out Michael….

my game hangs just after the first mission. As soon as i take the car from the dock to the given location the game freezes. There is no cutscene. plz tell me which patch i need to install….

GGamer u fuckin asshole i bought cod 6 but cant play it cuz i have shitty internet and theres so much fuckin security that i have to download cuz of people like u

thanks for the fixes … you cleared up all my probs … now i can finally relax and have some fun, woot !

Glad it helped you out

i have a bad graphic in my GTA iv… please help… i follow config, but still normaly and nothing change… and i don’t understand about number 3 “better FPS and graphic”…. please explain it completely….
my computer specification is:
Quad Core @ 2.66ghz
1gb of RAM
nVidia GEForce 9400GT 1gb shader model 3 supported shader model 4.1
and Windows XP sp3…

First thing I would suggest you to do is install Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Secondly, GeForce 9400GT is not sufficient, you need to get a better card.

BTW, can you tell me at what resolution are you trying to run the game?

Ok so i have tried this txt document no luck i have tried another to raise my resource usage just my putting -availablevidmem that worked and it raised it to max of 1700mb around which is more than enough even though my total vram is approx 3688mb.

my graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
i have 6 gb of ram and am using an i7 processor.

so when i put the highest limits on after adding the txt doc when i leave onto the streets the frame rate drops from around 50-60 to around 10-15 its grinding my gears as i know i have enough mem and power (i think) to run this game full blown.

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP!!!

Hi Tim,

It’s really disappointing to know that with such a wonderful build you’re experiencing problems.

Can you tell me at what resolution you’re trying to run the game? And, what are the settings ?

Hi Joel thanks for the reply.

i am trying to run it at 1440x900res

and when i click auto config for the graphics it puts everything to high the night shadow says none and there is one thats sets to very high as for the sliding bars they are all pretty low around 20-30 and it only fills the vram to 703mb.

OMG! you are great joel
and can you help me out too?
i have this lag problem you know?

need help???

That’s too much work to get a game working correctly, which i expect should already be working when i install it. Go fuck yourself rockstar

recently i got gta 4 n installed the game.the game game runs on my pc well enough.but my problem is after the 2nd small island all the game texture are totally disable.except the cars n the trees are visible.whenever i try to go over those points every thing fall down except the helicopter. I can fly through the places but never can land. what is the solution for that.I complete all the previous versions.but this is new. my pc config is (win service pac 3c2d 2.8 processor,4 gb ram,nvidia 5300 pci graphic card)…… I will be very great full if i get the solution for this problem.

ok for all you guys who have the missing textures problem….all you have to is google gta 4 missing textures ..i downloaded the 1.0.3.0 patch and the textures are back..you can also install cachebooster……it helps ………….

ok now for the lag problem- ok first create a new text document-then in that paste the following:

-norestriction
-nomemrestrict
-availablevidmem 2
-percentvidmem 100

ok now in the place of available vid mem,you can type more than 2,depending on your ram…..mine is 1gb so 2 gb…what it basically does is tht the game thnks tht it has vidmem of 2..so better performance…….

ok after this you can even instal game booster……it frees yp a part of your ram…..

oh i forgot to tell that you have to name the text document as commandline…… and dont name it as commandline.txt…….it doesnt work then…………

i got prop with my gta 4. everythig run smooth no lag or anything but where my game lag is when i use my keys 2 move. when i run forward nothing rong but as soon i press 2 turn left on my keyboard the game give short lag then work smoth again. it happens every time if i turn. so what can be the prop be there.?

hi there , i try comannd line parameter’s to disable video memory limits but no command line is working for me ?! why ? because social club software run’s my game ! game not runed without social club ?! why comannd line parameter’s not working! !?

I’ve been a huge fan of Grand Theft Auto games since I was 8, I’m 18 now and my English is honestly self taught by Grand Theft Auto games(I asked my 4th Grade English teacher what a Blowjob is(A mission for the Rednecks in GTA 2 xD) and she kicked me out LOL.
I have Grand Theft Auto – Episodes Of Liberty City on my PC, Its specifications are :

Dual Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz
2.52GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM
Video Card – NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GS(Though, When I ran a Benchmark Test on EFLC it showed that I have GeForce 9600 GT =/)
Windows XP SP3

Its a somewhat of a new PC, I purchased it last year in March, I am from Israel so the PC RAM and processors are not that good compared to US products but its suitable.

When I first played the game, I ran a Benchmark Test and it showed that I have a 4.86 FPS rate, After some tweaking of my PC I was able to get it up to 6.72 FPS, I used your advices and now its 9.80 FPS, I am still afraid it might slowdown on me in the middle of the game, is my FPS good enough for that slowdown bug to reappear ? Thanks for the help, Whether helpful or not.

I first run GTA IV on my pc with several lag problems like laging and
screen freezing after I pressed a button, but I fixed it easily with the
latest patch 1.0.7.0. then the game became playable, even with the
graphic sets at maximum. Benchmark test showed me around 55.4 fps
and everything looked fine… BUT…
The game started lag again after 10 – 20 minutes, not from pressing
any key from keyboard like before, but all the time!
I searched all the web for sollutions but I couldn’ find any, I have the
latest drivers on my video card installed, the latest patch from the
game like I said before, I disabled win log viewer & collect, I tried
so many “fixes” but nothing fixed the lag.
I have a Phenom II X4 955, 4 GB of RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5770 1 GB,
running Windows 7 Ultimate. Perchaps the pc version of GTA IV is
trash, I wonder why Rockstar tricked the buyers like that selling a
game with lots of problems. Anyone found a sollution for the lag after
10 – 20 minutes PLZ leave a comment

Hey!!GTA4 lags on my PC. Does not gives more than 11fps. I have downloaded and installed all the patches for GTA4, installed the latest drivers for the PC, tried the commandline(not perfectly as i guess)…But it still lags. My PC config(everything running at stock speed) :

AMD Phenom X2 3.1Ghz
2GB DDR3
XFX HD5450 1GB
Windows 7 x64

Please HELP!!

OK I followed the steps above, but I have a problem, a math problem: At step 3: ,,It’s time to do a little math now. Just DIVIDE THE FIRST NUMBER BY THE SECOND ONE, you should get something like 0.5, 0.8.., etc. Make a note of it.” Which Number? Where do I look for this numbers to divide them?

i have gta 4 and my pc runs on a low system lagging stopped but the graphics look not that good,any ways you can help?

can somebody tell me if i can play gta4 with these perfor…..

cpu core 2 duo 3.0 2.5 Gb ram vga geforce 210 1gb 128bit can tell me if i can play

Hi Amir,

Yes, you can play! But, at low settings.

yo. PLEASE HELP ME. I MODED MY CARS AND REPLACED EVERYTHING ABOUT CARS. AND NOW TEXTURES ARE MISSING! I NEED THE ORIGINAL FILES PLEASE. ALL I NEED ARE THE FILES FROM COMMON/DATA and PC/DATA. PLEASE ANYONE SHOW ME ANY HELP. PLEASE

You can find those files from your install disk…

The lag in GTA4, even on a good PC with super graphics card is from windows keylogger…. even when graphics are good with high rez, while driving every time we press a key there’s an annoying lag… follow this interesting clip.

you ppl are commenting on a post that been there since 2008 XD

Go to start search bar n type in msconfig. Open that go to services or something like that and disable windows event collector and windows event log. This should help.

GTA 4 Runs ok on athlon 3000+ 1gb ram  and  512 geforce gt240! I thought for sure it wouldn’t but it does.  With no mods or tweaks other than the 7 patches I’m getting around 14-15 fps, it doesnt change when I put the video settings on full blast or low, so I think my processor is limiting the speed and my video card is plenty for this game. Never had any missing textures, ever, even before patches. Logitech f310 gamepad works without configuration and no noticeable lag of the buttons. I had it running on 7 and xp. seemed a little smoother on 7.
This really makes me wonder if I should even buy the quad core pc I was looking at because it may not be any faster.
I swear that my athlon 3000+ wasnt any much faster than the k6/350mhz it replaced.

you did really good work buddy by sharing all the info bcoz lot of user were facing the same issue.

graphics card is your problem there buddy. Although even if you upgraded to the fastest single GPU on the market (think its gtx 580) it still wont run fully 60FPS smooth…. bad console port is all I’ll say.

actually turn the resolution to the max and high detail and it worked for me for some reason i can see all the detail

i have Lenovo Y570, i7 2670QM, 8GB DDR3, GT 555M runs maxed out in 30-40 fps and fps break down for 1-2 s, and back to normal, and again 5fps, and back to normal.

Please help.
