GTA IV for PC (official)


Recommended Posts

Well if it's worth anything I've scoured the web and read countless stories, replies, and comments stating that the game runs poorly. I've only come across a couple of thread posts stating that the game runs well. Anyway, I hope Rockstar is working on a patch.

Yeah but still doesn't prove anything, happens with almost every game out there, a slew of people having bad performance - This just suffers from it to a bigger extend, but who are we to tell the statement "Small numbers" is incorrect?

And how many exactly would post on the forums the game is running great? Classic example of the unsatisfied people having a louder voice than the satisfied people.

Not saying there isn't any problems with the game, even Rockstar acknowledges it but a few people on some forums is no way a solid statistic when you are missing 10 other pieces of the puzzle.

people dont have to just use the forums, there are tech support numbers when i spoke with R* yesterday in the UK i was on hold for a good 20 mins and when i spoke to the guy they where swamped with calls, just because it runs fine for you it all well and good, but for the rest of us, we feel like we are being taken for a ride.

Well mine runs ok to be honest, I run it at 1360 768 on medium detail and high render quality. Not sure what fps im getting but it is definitely smooth enough. It could run much better though, and I don't think it currently looks better than the console versions. I'm glad that Rockstar have acknowledged the problem and are working on it. Im sure that with a patch from Rockstar and new drivers from ATI/Nvidia we will see this game running much better.

True, but think of it this way: What are the chances that all those people, with varying degrees of hardware and software, are experiencing issues with GTA IV? I'm not saying that there are 'X' number of people experiencing problems. It's the fact that issues are coming up across the board, regardless of what hardware you use.

Anyway, I recently ran the benchmark and got 22.05 fps. In my mind, that's absolutely pathetic with the hardware I have. Seriously, how the hell can a Core2Duo E6750 and HD 4870 pull 22 fps @ 1680x1050 in GTA IV? It doesn't make any sense to me. :/

well ive just been on the phone to R* for the past 40 mins troubleshooting and the guy who i spoke with confirmed my system 'should' be able to play this game at around 40fps, we spent 40 mins testing various items and ways but whatever setting i was running it was always around 20-22fps.

It's frustrating, I tell ya. The most we can do now is wait for a patch and enjoy the game as it is right now. I won't play any of the missions until Rockstar fixes the performance issues. I want to enjoy the game at its best.

i was playing for 2 hours or so, doing missions and then out of nowhere it crashes with error resc10

Yikes! I hope that doesn't happen to me.

To play at my native resolution (1650x1050), I literally have to turned down everything to it's lowest setting. That is ridiculous...

Don't you mean 1680x1050? :p I hear you though. I had to turn down some settings too.

Oh god I was hoping to play with my 2400XT.

Don't even dream about it. I get 31 fps @ 1680x1050 with an HD 4870.

I believe this has been mentioned before but hitting 'p' enables some sort of filter. It adds motion blur and a pseudo-depth of field effect (i.e. background blurring).

I know this won't be much comfort, but I'd like to thank you for that information. My specification is broadly equivalent to yours, and given what you've just said there's not a chance I'm buying the game.

This doesn't make me any less gutted about how this has turned out after I enjoyed GTA 3, VC and San Andreas so much on the PC though.

i was playing for 2 hours or so, doing missions and then out of nowhere it crashes with error resc10
ReSC10 = Out of video memory

To anyone getting the error its not your fault, im getting the same crash even with a 2GB 4870x2, the game is broken.

Yeah, had that happen to me yesterday and I'm playing on a 4870 X2 as well.

Cy:G, what FPS are you seeing and on what settings?

is there any chance this will run on a 2.4ghz single core CPU (i got a AMD Athlon64 3500+ 2.2ghz overclocked to 2409mhz) ... i know dual core is minimum but i wonder if anyone attempted playing it on a single core.

besides CPU i meet or beat the minimum requirements.

Video card = Geforce 7900GT

RAM = 2GB

From what I understand, peds and vehicles are pretty CPU intensive, so even if the game allows you to install/play without a dual core cpu, you will probably not see a very good FPS. I would wait until someone verifies it. I actually have a single core P4 3.2 sitting next to me but it only has a 128mb graphics card so that wouldn't be a fair estimate.

With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions.

Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
