GTA IV for PC (official)


Recommended Posts

I didn't want to make a new topic, so hopefully someone can help me out.

I am about to order a new pc sometime soon. It has the following.

Windows Vista 64 bit.

6 Gig ram PC2-6400 DDR2 SDRAM

AMD Phenom? X4 9550 Quad-Core Processor @ 2.2GHz 2MB L2 + 2MB shared L3

and a Geforce 9100 256MB

Should that be able to play this at a decent rate?

Get a better graphics card. GTA IV is one of the few games that actually use up your video ram. Playing at 1920x1200 very high settings uses up to 900mb of video ram. Fortunately, my gfx card can handle it. Get a 1GB video card. Everything else looks fantastic. I suggest starting a new topic in Hardware Hangout to find out what the best value graphics card that fits your criteria is.

Thanks I'll have to remember that!

Besides GTA it will only be less graphic intensive games.

Ok this latest mission is ****ing me off, it's "Three Leaf Clover". I havent been able to make alot of progress on it because I keep dying to grenades. Now correct me if I'm wrong but the right mouse button is used to aim, and then you hold the left one down to pull the pin out and release it to throw the grenade.

Another time the HUD was wrong and failed the mission because I was out of range of my party.

The most progress I got was at the turnstile in the subway to which I tossed a grenade and killed someone of my party.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but the right mouse button is used to aim, and then you hold the left one down to pull the pin out and release it to throw the grenade.

Yep. I say don't use grenades. Just use guns and stay with packie & other. When they move, follow them. I almost got killed in this mission but I completed it and didn't have to play for second time. :p

Here is a guide if you need one. Link

3 Leaf Clover is actully easy if you use the cover provided, its just a bit long for my liking

Well after 28 1/2 hours i completed the story and got my achievments, also only got 20 flying rats and a few races to go for those unlocks as well :)

Now I'm stuck on this 1 mission where I take a truck to a warehouse with Phil from the Pregorno family. The problem is there are so many mobs and Phil insists on charging into 10 guys. Of course when Phil dies the mission is failed.

Maintenance Update:

-Resource management adjustments based on the operating system detected.

Today we released a Maintenance Update for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV. This update ensures all copies of the game are properly aligned for the next gold master build pressing. We have also improved the resource management numbers to detect and adjust accordingly to different operating systems.

Like all previous updates, this contains all the fixes from past title updates, so there is no need to re-install previous patches if you have to re-install the game for any reason. A direct link to download Maintenance Update 1.0.4.0 can be found here. For more details and download links for other languages, check out the Grand Theft Auto IV PC support page.

I bought this game awhile back, but never installed it. Does anyone know if it still has problems detecting the second card on the 4870x2?

If that has been fixed, I suppose I can play now! For those that have been playing, is it easier with a controller? I have an Xbox 360 controller to use if I have to.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
