^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.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
