GTA IV Performance

[miloshs]

Figured out how to enable high texture quality another way; create a new text doc in the GTA folder (the one with GTAIV.exe and LaunchGTAIV.exe) and name the text file commandline.txt

Put:

-norestrictions
-novblank
-nomemrestrict

in the document and save it.

Next time you run it it should allow you to select "high".

Well DUH! it says the same thing 6 posts before ... but we forgive you, at first i tought it was a part of the signature too

 

[erocker]

those SS's look awesome erocker, what settings are you using there? I take it that the texture's on "high".

1920x1200
Textures: high
Rendering: very high

Draw distance: 26
Detail distance: 50
Vehicles: 38
Shadows: 16

Is that with your quad or dual? And how much VMEM do you have?

There is also a controller hack. Details in this link...
http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=379477

I used the software that came with my Saitek controller to map keyboard buttons to it. It took a while and then I realized that the game is unplayable without making me sick to my stomach because of the low frame rates. I can't wait until we get some updates!

If you are getting unplayable framerates, you need to turn down some settings. Your weak rig isn't going to max this game out, but it should handle medium just fine, and still look too too.

lower the settings especially draw distance and how many vehicles there is because those are very cpu intensive, this game uses four cores.

With fraps on last night I stay around 36 FPS, and dip to 31 as the lowest, The peak was 50's for a short time.

Exactly, this game is extremely CPU intensive(which isn't surprising). Cheap CPUs simply aren't going to cut it. The E4000/5000 series is a minimum I would say, and only if you have a good 3GHz+ overclock on them. The E2000 series and lower is going to drag at this game, even with a good overclock on them, unless you lower the settings. Especially vehicle desity and draw distance.

turn off the clip capture feature, that will solve performance and crash issues

Umm which crash does it solve ?. Is it the unrecoverable error type hat asks if you want send info to MS ??.

I do believe i had mine on the 1st time i installed the game but this time i have had it disabled without a single crash. The worsted crashes are that require you to reinstall.

 

[xu^]

game seems to run a lot smoother with the video capture turned off

GTA5 needs to be based in 2 cities. One, in Russia, Moskva, and with an an airport so you can "hyperspace" to Detroit. A bit of inflight entertainment as the new city maps load. Nice, two different cultures, completely different music, scenary, missions, russian mafia in moscow vs gangs and unions in detroit. Smuggle cocaine, diamond, hookers on the plane and through immigration. Bribe the officials. CANT WAIT.


You saw it on TPU first

Actually i've seen it all over GTA IV Threads even before the launch of GTA IV on consoles.

People running rivatuner experiencing texture problems, make sure you upgrade to the newest version of rivatuner released today, it appearently fixes some texture issues with GTA:IV.

That was eff'in hilarious!


So... I went out eating with Roman and I had to take him back to his apartment. I got my Turismo and Comet parked in front of Roman's apartment so the drop off point is mostly blocked. I thought, yeah, he'll just do one of those magical relocating acts and spawn outside of the car, no problem. So I park with the his door right next to the Turismo. And then he punches me right in the face with a right hook! I fall out of the car and he slides over to my seat swearing. Then he got out of the car like nothing happened.

I'm gonna try it again. XD

Careful with that, I've noticed that with the Roman side missions like that, after you return him to his apartment it autosaves. If you load from that autosave, your cars will be gone. It happened to me all the time in the PS3 version, I don't know about the PC version.

I got in the habit of getting out of my car after dropping him off, and getting into each one of the cars I had parked there, then saving again by running up into the apartment and sleeping.
