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.

    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
