gta4 just arrived today... for xbox ::)

i figured i'd skip all this crap about it not working and running at like 0.0001 fps and just get it for a console.

im sorta half way between minimum and recommended, meaning it would work, but since its gta4 it wont work at all
I was thinking to get it for the ps3 so i can play with nicer specs.. :-X

Meh.. GTA:IV for PC was a failure - I've been waiting for this game for serveral months and all i get is a huge fps-lag. :( However, i have had fun completing the new story line and side-missions.

These links might help you guys out (helped me out abit)

Turning off video capture (that records clips) does help

Adding extra virtual memory (might help)
Right click>my computer>properties>advanced>settings>advanced ''Virtual memory'' click change
I put initial size @ 4046
        Maximum @ 4092 (I heard it does help) either way, i tried it lol

If your gx card has a new driver out ''try using that one'' rather then 180.84, i noticed the new driver was way smoother then gta (patch 180.84) REMEMBER to uninstall the driver 1st, before installing new ones


For me might work for others also*
EVERYTHING does not have to be on HIGH or max, run it on 800x600
For me i created a commandline.txt & put it in the gta folder, in there all i have in commandline.txt is
-availablevidmem 2.5   <-- what that does is
Example. My gx card is 1gb 1084, when i put -availablevidmem 2.5 (now my gx card in game is) 2500
To each its own, not saying ^^^^ this will/would work

IF YOU REALLY WANNA PLAY (LIKE I DID) Lower your XP settings instead of ''quality'' you want ''performance'', same goes with your ''gx card settings'' you want it to be on performance
- on some 'gx card driver settings'
you DO NOT WANT IT TO BE ON ''application controolled'' < (FOR ME) set it to off
in the game, i usually have everything low, & the distance & quality distance (i think) would be on 75+ for both..if it becomes laggy, lower the one that controlls ''the memory your using'' & dont change the other one (distance)

theres a file out there ''GTA IV timecyc.dat Tweak''. where if everything is on low (if you cant seem to run good on high & see good details/view) - this what it does is, distance on low/quality in game on low - this file, makes the distance on ''high quality'' without you actually messing with the game settings...

sorry for the long post, this might help/might not, to each its own..these are the links, dont know if its allowed,, if not (someone edit this)

the biggest improvement for me honestly would be the new ''gx card driver'', not the 180.84..
