How to Fix GTA IV PC Version

6. LOOK / SPIN / STUCK Key issues:

With the latest Title Update, some users are experiencing a Look/Spin/”Stuck Key” issue that interferes with user input. The workaround, described below, will restore Keyboard/Mouse and XInput (360) controller functionality. Support for DirectInput devices is currently limited.

To fix the issue:
Unplug any DirectInput controllers (gamepads, joysticks etc..)
Reboot your computer and Launch GTA IV

If the issue persists, the following instructions are provided as a guide to assist you in deleting the conflicting DirectInput drivers:

Exit game
Go to Start->Control Panel->System->Hardware Tab->Device Manager->Human Interface Devices
Locate drivers for devices
Delete drivers for devices
Launch GTA IV

Check out the above pic, that’s how my GTA IV runs now :) . (My pc config- E8400 @3.5Ghz, Abit IP35-E, 2GB 800Mhz OCZ RAM, ATI 4850 HD 512MB) That’s it for now people, I’ll try to get more stuff and add over here. In the meantime don’t forget to state your experience with GTA IV for PC.

  • Love Källman

    Can somebody help me? I love this game on Xbox 360 so I decided to try it on PC.
    I bought the game, put it into my PC, but when I start the game, I see my car and there is no environments, like no clouds, no trees, not even a door.

    Windows 7 64-Bit (I actually don´t know if GTA IV is compatible with Win7)
    CPU: Intel Core2Duo E4800 @ 3.00Ghz
    Graphics Card: Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset
    4Gb RAM

    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.

  • Rakesh

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

  • Anonymous

    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.

  • Thejokerisback

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

  • Vlad

    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.

  • Manish kapoor

    put commandline.txt in your game folder then open commanline and copy the bold word 
      -veiwdistance 3500  and save it and start the game now everything would be visible
