^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.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
