Girish

You're so right. Perma banning someone for stealing mods and then allowing him back only to ban him again (for stealing mods again) is such a low act. Then when this lovely person registers 135 different accounts, to keep on banning him is even lower, man. Then there was this one guy who spammed the forums with porn because he got warned/temped. He too was banned, you know. You're right. Those dickheads at GTAF are such power hungry assholes. They should be the ones to be banned for trying to keep the place in order. What idiots.

You guys have it too easy over here. When this forum crosses 100,000 members and you have to keep the place under control, you'll know what I mean. I was going to PM you but I'm unable to send you any messages. You've never actually seen this board in it's prime. One hundred thousand members or not, you don't have to be a nazi to keep the place under control. Scape-goat excuse. I'm sorry to hear that. You are quite narrow minded. Anyways, have a good day.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I wish I could laugh harder but that's all I can manage.

Yeah, right. I'm the one without a life here. That is why I've created a shitty GTA forum copying the entire fucking layout from GTAF, then creating accounts with usernames of people from GTAF, then creating topics and talking to myself.

Oh, where should I start? Notorious mod thief. Banned from GTAF. Went on to create 100+ accounts trying to sneak in and lying all the time; got banned everytime. Tried to unsuccessfully impersonate another member after having managed to guess his password. Had a prank played on him where he thought the staff were going to make him an admin. He even went to the extent of sending us a lovely picture of himself which currently hangs in the private forums. Extreme fun was had. And by the look of things over here, he hasn't stopped lying. The dude needs to get a life. Seriously. I had sort of forgotten about this place since I didn't have it bookmarked on my laptop. But things are good. I hope everything's going well at your end too.

hahahaha. I'm sorry but that is fucking hilarious. I hope you guys know who this idiot is.

This generally happens when there's a period in your Windows user account name. Create a new Windows user account (without a period) and install the game to that account.

FCR-900. Quick, better control & handling and, not to mention, bikes are the fastest mode of land transport in this game.

The first thing to try would be the -memrestrict command. Have a look at this: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=404147 If that doesn't help, you might need to try compatibility modes or try rolling back to older drivers. But give the -memrestrict command a shot first.

This is what Rockstar Toronto said about "repeating cars": Source: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=418764&view=findpost&p=1059368763 If you're low on RAM and are using mods, it will further affect your game and intensify the 'same car syndrome'. Post your full system specifications. There's a mod somewhere that says it can diversify the traffic and make more cars spawn but I can't find it. Edit: Found it - http://www.gta4-mods.com/misc/all-cars-in-multiplayer-f1922

No, IV doesn't run your PC, your PC runs IV. That's what he asked! And yeah, that PC cannot run GTA IV at all.

What type of keyboard do you have? Are you running the game under compatibility mode? What settings are you running the game at? Post benchmarking result.

Use this savegame converter: http://hmvartak.110mb.com/conv.htm Convert the save, download the converted save and copy that file to your User Files folder. It should work properly then.

I'm guessing his graphics card does not support shader model 3.0. This is the most common cause of this error.

I don't think file sharing is allowed over here. So, either repair the installation or reinstall the game. And it's not a good idea to post your email on a public forum if you don't want to get spammed.

Start > Run > Type 'dxdiag' > OK. The 'System' page will tell you about your system like CPU, RAM, motherboard, etc. Click on 'Display' and it'll tell you about your video card. Post those things here and we can tell you whether or not your PC is capable of running the game.

San Andreas. The first GTA game I ever completed. After that, I went back and completed Vice City. But I still haven't given up playing SA. It's still as exciting as it was the first time I played it.

Does the error message have a code? Try deleting all files from the Settings folder. Windows XP SP3 = C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\Settings Windows Vista = C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\Settings Windows 7 = C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\Settings If it doesn't help, reinstall the game and then apply the latest patch.

Are you sure they're legit? I doubt it. Btw, if you still have the v2 copy, you can make it moaddable by downgrading it. Google for a 'downgrader patch'. That will make your game behave like a v1 game.

Perhaps, you'll get better help in the GTA IV modding forums over here.

With what error message does the game crash? Are you using any mods? How did you install the patch? Manually or via the GFWL client in-game?

Delete the gta_sa.set file from the User Files folder. Is this a purchased copy or a downloaded one? Are you using any no-cd cracks?

Where exactly did you get this 3 copies of version 1 from?
