yeah exactly.. giving paying customers a harder time than pirates? thats a load of bull**** but then, this topic isn't all that new... and still, they don't get it.

Hi all, im new here.. I got hooked on the GTA series sometime last year... so now i'm trying to get my gta iv to work but then again.. who isn't when im not gaming i do study at times ;-) so.. it's actually a good thing the new gta isn't workin so smoothly for me i have been browsing through all the cool stuff here and suppose i will repeat a really cool SA experience with all them mods.. until iv will be smooth that is, hehe

Hi all... well... I've had a few interesting days trying to tweak my pc to make gta iv more comfortable on my system... there have been a few improvements... but it now looks like SH** and it still runs laggy. I get 20-22fps in Roman's appartment... and anything below 15 outside... which is, needless to say... NO FUN at all... this is what i have done so far... - updated: .net framework; directx; gpu drivers(beta); service pack(using XP) - killed each and every living process running in the background - de-fragmented my hard disc - played on lowest/highest resolution.. - tried all them parameters i could find and put them in varying combinations in my commandline.txt this is my current config: -width=1440 -height=900 -safemode -norestrictions -framelimit 1 -novblank -minspecaudio -nomemrestrict -texturequality=0 -renderquality=0 -detailquality=0 -shadowdensity=0 -viewdistance=0 -availablevidmem 512 the safemode switch made the biggest difference... the other ones weren't measurable... i don't even know if they actually do anything if in safemode? well... here's my system specs [email protected] 3070MB RAM Nvidia Quadro FX1600M w/ 512MB this is a laptop... just to clearify... I can play far cry 2 on High with some AA... so this shouldn't be all thaaat slow, now shouldn't it? well.. i would be very thankful for any more insights on how to improve performance... otherwise... i'm crossing my fingers for that darn patch... i was just wondering.. did anybody try turning off social club and all after starting the game? cause people keep saying that this might be a performance buster?! cheers and congrats to all who are already at it at above 20fps ;-)
