cant see the point in using others savegames.. isnt playing the game kinda the point in the first place?


Some of us have played the game on 360 mate... So the point is that we don't have to redo everything.

But what do you mean with NVsync? Just using vsync? Or is nvsync something else?

Soz, typo.. sposed to be just vsync...

I'm officialy quiting. I'm not playing this game anymore. After about 2 days of tinkering with drivers, windows and the game itself, I give up. On A C2D 4400 @2.7 GHz, 2 GB, and a 8800 GTS, and with every graphic setting set to low and the resolution 800x600, the game still has the nerve to drop the frame rate to single digits. Not all the time, but usually in critical situations, like car chases or shooting. My rig can handle Crysis on medium but it's not capable of fluid gameplay in GTA IV on the lowest settings?
Thanks but no thanks Rockstar, not again anyway.

Signing off.

Game has some serious memory leaks. Hopefully the improve memory handling in the patch will address it.

No matter what settings, high or low, I can play flawlessly for 1-2 hours, then it starts stuttering, drops textures etc. A restart clears it up evertime. Classic memory leak behaviour.

Well people have reported about the game using over 3.6 GB of memory on 4GB systems plus most of the available GPU memory after playing for a while, this appears to be one of the things improved in the patch though.

And oh, doesn't seem like you can load other peoples saves, I could do it once, but now I can't anymore.

God this game is such a bad port... I'm glad I didn't buy it like I'd planned. (Though I'm sure it'll be good enough to buy in a month or two.)


my brother last night told me about the problem he has like this with crashign into invisible walls... i didnt know what to suggest to him to help.


How you turn off the video recorder in game to free up some fps please?

create a file named "comandline.txt" and place it in the install directory. then use the commands listed on the first page of this topic.

don't know about the save games.

Installed it, runs perfect!! Here is what I have.and did...

Geforce 8800GT, E6650 (Duo2Core at 2.33ghz), XP SP3, 3GB of memory (think that is helping me most)

Installed as per Razors info directions, game settings was set at HIGH at 1680x1200 res automatically. Game runs perfect. I actually have the game minimized now while typing this. I did have to close newzbin (game was stuttering while downloading which happens in other games).

Skip the social club, create an account oFFLINE in order to save it. So far, Im watching TV now in my cousins room..hilarious!!!

Great job Razor!!!

If you manage to turn off bloom I'd like to know how you did it. Can't understand that file.txt editing scheme.

Ok, this is for all u who just cant find the time reading the thread but keeps on asking the same thing over and over!!!

1. Create a file called commandline.txt and save it inside the Grand Theft Auto IV install folder. Same folder as all the *.exe files!!
2. In commandline.txt file put:
Code:
-noprecache -nomemrestrict -norestrictions -height 1024 -width 1280 -refreshrate 75 -texturequality 0 -renderquality 2 -viewdistance 0 -shadowdensity 0

3. Save commandline.txt
4. Launch the game with GTA.IV.Crack.Securom.Bypass.Launcher.UBER-PROPER-FeD0R

If u want higher resolutions and/or settings edit the commandline.txt file accordingly.

Drivers:
Quote:
GeForce v180.84

NVIDIA recommends that you update your system with the following GeForce v180.84 driver for the best experience on Grand Theft Auto IV:

XP 32
http://download.nvidia.com/downloads/nZone/drivers/180.84_geforce_winxp_32bit_english_beta.exe

XP 64
http://download.nvidia.com/downloads/nZone/drivers/180.84_geforce_winxp_64bit_english_beta.exe

Vista 32
http://download.nvidia.com/downloads/nZone/drivers/180.84_geforce_winvista_32bit_english_beta.exe

Vista 64
http://download.nvidia.com/downloads/nZone/drivers/180.84_geforce_winvista_64bit_english_beta.exe



To edit visualsettings.dat u need the following:

The link above leads to a workaround which fixes the file protection, allowing alterations.
(Might help modding, don't know much about it at the moment though, still learning.)

EDIT: Seems there's a loader version as well.
http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=379452&st=40
(Main version seems to only work on XP but there's a utility in the link above to make it work on Vista or you can use the first link and use that method.)

I use the first method and not the loader. The loader doesnt seem to work well with fedor loader. duh...

I dont take credit for any of these links or info. U can find it all in this thread.
