If he didn't had Windows XP 64 with SP2, it'd tell you: About your problem, try updating your graphics card drivers. That problem is also known as stuttering and a fix for it (Provided by Rockstar at GTAF) is create a commandline.txt file on your GTAIV root folder and adding the following vaules depending of your GFX Card: Proof: Sauce with -memrestrict 314572800 lasted about 20 mins without stuttering so optimistically I changed it to 414572800 - looked better but it went stuttering after 45 minutes. -memrestrict 629145600 is not helping at all. I will try -memrestrict 314572800 again and see how long will it last but it looks brutal with that command line... Also - I have newest Catalyst, tried 9.2 and 9.3 as well - no luck. Thanks for the tips so far

I don't think there is SP3 for XP x64 but I might be wrong. Gonna do some research now...

Hey GTA people. Got this issue with GTA IV, patched 1.0.4.0 running on: Windows XP x64 SP2 Gigabyte ep45-ds3 Core 2 Duo e7400 OC'd to 3.15GHz 2x1GB Patriot Viper 1200Mhz DDR2 Radeon 4890 1GB OC'd to 950MHz / 1050MHz 160 GB WD SATA 7200 Genuine system / game Got plenty of free space on HDD, set page file to 4096MB, got newly installed system, defragmented and all that, other games work very well (Crysis, FSX etc) I start the game, it works well - got approx 30fps min with highest settings. After 10-15 mins the "nightmare" begins - game freezes for like half a second and the hdd spins like crazy. Then it unfreezes, goes well for few seconds and freezes again. Over time the freezes become more and more frequent and as a result game becomes unplayable after 20-25 mins. Would you guys know the best solution for that? (Hope you will not say "buy more ram" ) Oh, forgot to mention that i tried reducing the graphics settings to minimum with resolution 800x600 - not helping. THANKS
