^I had that as well. There were missions where you had to dress in formal and I was in full gear (suited up) except for the shoes and they told me I wasn't and I had to drive all the way back to change.

The clothing was acceptable, but the game script didn't bother checking that.

Same as when Packie told me to get dressed nicely for a mission.

Edit: Also, the smearing filter is terrible, wish I could turn it off without patching game files.

GTA IV Save File Locations
  • Windows Vista: "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames"
  • Windows XP: "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames"

Games for Windows ? LIVE File Locations

  • Windows Vista: "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft XLiveb>\Content"
  • Windows XP: "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft XLiveb>\Content"

First thing's first, backup the folders in bold. Then, uninstall and reinstall GTA IV and Games for Windows ? LIVE. Once that's done, copy and paste the backed up folders to their respective directories.

2 nVidia 8800gt's SLi, 2.6 Dual core, only 2 gigs of ram.

Runs great on 1650x1080.

:]

1680x105

So many people get it mixed up. :p

Anyway, run a benchmark and post your results. I'm interested to see how well an SLI configuration performs with GTA IV.

On how high settings?

Low/Medium.

I have a 3ghz C2D, 2 gigs ram, 512mb 9600GT and I get less than 25fps even when all settings are on low. Putting settings higher doesn't seem to make much improvement to the graphics though, theyre always quite jagged and fuzzy.

Benchmark is rather useless, it always gives around 10fps more than you get ingame.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
