That's interesting. So some of the problems peeps have had with GTA4 (like missing textures, and maybe other issues) were partly due to having Rivatuner installed (and modifying default operation of the drivers).

Well done for whoever caught that one! GJ to rivatuner for fixing it quick. Unlucky to all those who have been chasing mysterious bugs!

I've heard they had some major problems with GTA4 on the PC -- are those mostly cleared up? Was really wanting to buy it. :D

Edit: nvm it works now...

thanks downloading now...

Weird game GTA4 is, when I set it to high textures (-norestrictions) it runs better with nearly no missing textures even its warns about not enough resources bla bla bla...

I'll save you the money. You can't play it.

Nothing can play this outside of the newest generation.

and before anyone wants to be a smart ass, 800x600 with low details doesn't count.

I had everything on medium (1280x1024) and got about 15 fps tops (using 180.84s). It's a worthless port and rockstar needs to be sued.

It is very cpu dependent, it is either a crappy port or really hard on cpu all I know is it plays on quads better.

It plays fine on my Athlon X2@2.8GHz(Socket 939), 2GB of DDR, HD4670 512MB. This is at 1280x1024, medium settings textures and render detail, shadows set at 1, vehicle density and view distance set to 25. The game is pretty smooth at these settings and looks a hell of a lot better than the console versions. It helps if you turn off the clip recording feature, it really takes load of the CPU.

And that's hardly medium if the sliders are set to low. Just saying.

sorry riva tuner fix games problem , mmm that's cool

TheGuruStudAnd that's hardly medium if the sliders are set to low. Just saying.

They aren't set to low, there is no "low" with sliders. I've actually turned shadows completely off, as they were not even in the original console versions. Draw distance and vehicle density was only 21 on the consoles, so 25 is higher than that.

I don't really care that it can't max out the settings, or set it to what some would consider high, as the game already looks amazing on these settings, and plays perfectly. It looks better than the console, at a higher resolutions, I can't complain.

"Low" and "high" settings is just a label, if Rockstar had made the settings I use "High" and locked off the ability to make the game look any better, then you probably wouldn't be complaining right now and most others probably wouldn't either. As the game would run on mid-range hardware, at all "high" settings with issue, and look good.

I have ATI 3850 512 mb, @ gb RAM, C2D 7200@3.36Ghz, WinXP, and with AUTO setting the game (1680x1050, Med.Text, High Render...) has missing textures. Cat 8.12 got it to work in 1280x800 but some time they appear. Also I have RT 2.08. Do I have to Enable this thing or are ATI owner unafected by this RT bug?

It solved my problem I have textures in GTA4 now yay
