GTA IV for PC (official)

[Dane]

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?

The video card ram is lacking but other than that it should run good.

Yeah the video card will get updated alittle while after I get it.

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.

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

[Prosidius]

I beat the mission, the key was relearning how to use grenades. :)

i use grenade only when using the "cover" system :p

The last mission is even tougher. :o :p

Good luck ;)

[Prosidius]

Well assuming 3 Leaf Clover is the hardest mission till the final one I'm happy. This is the farthest I ever got in a GTA Game. :)

[Unimatrix Xero]

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 :)

[Prosidius]

Does anyone know how the clip editor/recorder works? I tried recording me completing 3 leaf clover but it only recorded me turning in the mission instead. :p

[Sethos]

Whenever you press F2, it saves the last 30-40 seconds of the game.

[Prosidius]

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.

Truly an exciting update :laugh:

[Victor Rambo]

thanks san.W10 for the update. :D

[Yorak]

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.

[Prosidius]

Finally got back to playing this game. On the last mission where I have to kill Pegorino @ happiness island. Hard mission.

[Prosidius]

Completed said mission, helicopter driving sucks alot. Anyway very nice story, probobly my favorite game(or close to it).

[rake]

Congrats on completing the game. :)

And do you know there are two endings in this game? First one is revenge which you just completed and second you get when you choose to not kill dimitri. ;)

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Whoa. Are they preparing the game for an even bigger patch?

[Robbie Khan Reviews]

Yes

[Unimatrix Xero]

Whoa. Are they preparing the game for an even bigger patch?

nope, gold pressing just means that they are going to be bringing up the already released version with the version they will be releasing on disk soon
