eeehhh and on the xbox it runs with locked 30 fps and on the ps3 with 27fps soooo who carez... if it looks fluid and is playable fuck the fps counter

the human eye needs only 25 fps to make something look fluid example: movies


You know that a game running at 60+ fps looks better than a game running at 30, and high-end PC's should be running this much better. Yes it's playable, but if I were happy to settle for what a console is capable of I would've been playing the game six months ago.

I know it doesn't really matter what the fps counter says, but it helps to back up people's opinions with some kind of hard data. Some people think 15fps is fluid and playable, so good luck to them. But I'd disagree.

It has been mentioned really often in this thread and before. Create a commandline.txt file. Open it up with notepad and enter the complete commandline string into it like -height 480 -width 640 and so on and save it in the gta 4 folder.

Yeah turn it off if you don't mind the tearing - it's usually an FPS boost (and no, it can't harm your hw).

Some people don't mind it at all, and for some it's an absolute no-no. Just try it to see which category you belong to. Smile

I can't install that damn .net framework 3.5 SP1. Installing 3.5 was no problem. I tried both, the redistributable installer (230mb) and the small 2.9 mb setup file Sad

So I went to software and checked the configuration. There were 6 different .nets from compact 1.0 to 2.0 to 3.0 and the german equivalents WTF microsoft?!

Yeah I always turn off the V-sync off, as well... doesn't affect my gaming at all. Still, hope they release a patch that fixes the performance issues, I'm not playing the PC version until they do.

Only the bugs which were are in the uncracked game too. So yes, you can use the razor release. Just be careful to not get the one full with viruses Very Happy There has to be a 1911.dll gta4.exe and gtalauncher.exe

Rolling Eyes

I always find it annoying when people says you need 25fps to make things look fluid, movies and games are totally different, 1 frame in a movie compared to a frame in a game represents actually allot o frames blurred together to make it look smooth. You need at least 50fps to make things appear fluid to the naked human eye eg sports recordings are 50/60fps. Which is why I don't like the limiter on GTA's past games, eg 30fps for GTA3, & Vice, 25fps for San Andreas.

I found that these in a commandline.txt file gave me an increase in fps fot gta4 "-norestrictions -nomemrestrict -novblank -frameLimit 0 -availablevidmem 512 -percentvidmem 100 -fullspecaudio" Makes thing look fluid. Very Happy

Well judging by the patch it seems they still blame the old drivers and not their shitty porting.

Quote:


Further addressing the problems that surfaced after Grand Theft Auto IV hit PC last week, developer and publisher Rockstar has completed work on the first patch.

"We are working on making a patch available in the next few days," the studio posted on fansite GTAForums. "Since Grand Theft Auto IV is a Games For Windows - Live game the patch must be certified by Microsoft before release. The patch is already at Microsoft and we expect a speedy approval."

Support calls have indicated that "roughly around one percent" are having issues with the game, technical director Kevin Hoare IGN, stressing that the frequency of support calls is "the only thing we have to go on as far as numbers go."

"It seems like maybe these forum posters are the more outspoken percentage of the players," he noted.

"Going through certification with Microsoft and our external QA process, we didn't run into the amount of problems that the boards seemed to be saying there are," development VP Jeronimo Barrera added.

"We're seeing some of the things that people are complaining about but they're so peripheral of the target audience," Barrera continued. "We do recognize that people are having problems with this but it's not the disaster that people have it hyped up to be."

Along with the below list of changes, Rockstar and Nvidia have worked together to create specialized GTA4-friendly drivers, with new ATI drivers due December 10.

The patch contains a variety of fixes including:

* A fix to the crash after legal screen that some German customers were reporting.
* Numerous improvements to the video editor: Smarter naming of videos, improved rendering quality, better fx during replays
* Fix to bowling while using certain sensitive mice
* Fix for ATI 1900 shadows
* Overall savings to memory
* Graphic improvements to particle systems and mirrors
* Multiplayer character settings are preserved
* Support for DirectInput controllers. Note: The current hack way of supporting these controllers may not work with the improved functionality. So we recommend you remove the hack before upgrading to the patch.

Issues with power management software have also been fixed (slow speed, double speed issues). Even after the patch comes out setting power management software to maximum performance is recommended. Weve seen cases where power management software does not detect the game is running and puts the CPU in green mode.

Besides the patch we've also improved the way the Social Club handles data this should have greatly reduced or eliminated the Mma10 error. If you are still receiving this error after logging in and out of Social Club we would like to know as much info as you can about it.

Information Needed For Troubleshooting
We want everyone to experience Grand Theft Auto IV on the PC the way it was intended. To that end, we will continue to monitor the forums for any and all issues users are having, and respond whenever possible. We would greatly appreciate it if people with unresolved problems could post some information about their PC configuration in this thread for us. Please include the following information:

* Where exactly in the game you experienced the issue (start screen, while playing the game, etc.)
* What version of the game you have (retail, steam, other online store)
* What is your OS
* Benchmark info or DxDiag is also helpful

Rockstar Games Social Club Application Info
Due to the high volume of new Social Club users, some users may have experienced periods of time where they are unable to log into their Social Club account using the Rockstar Games Social Club application. If you are unable to log in using the Rockstar Games Social Club application, please skip the login process by clicking "Skip Login" or run in offline mode by clicking "Start in Offline Mode". This is meant as a temporary solution to allow users to play GTA IV PC, so please continue to periodically retry your login as we are working hard to promptly address any lapses in service.

A small number of users have reported the Rockstar Games Social Club application encountering a fatal error, preventing them from playing GTA IV PC. One possible solution is to uninstall the .NET Framework (from Add/Remove Programs) and reinstall it by downloading it from www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en. If you continue to run into fatal errors in the Rockstar Games Social Club application, please contact Rockstar Games support.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to work around the clock to resolve these issues. Support updates will continue to be posted at www.rockstargames.com/support as soon as they are available.
