Title: Solving the problem kthxbai
Post by: tony_ab on November 03, 2009, 04:25:41 PM
Oh hai!

Some day i went to the shopz and bought GTA IV. Yay! I mean, it was. Appaerantly, i have 1 gb of RAM and nvidia GeForce 7300 GT. Firstly it didnt run. Then i upgraded my XP to SP3. It worked then. Had some graphics problems(map missing, textures missing, huge lag) but i fixed it with command lines, cacheboost and newest nvidia graphics drivers. then i could play it normally but it still had huge lag. So i gave up until i buy some more RAM memory. Then i checked some forums(sa-mp) and decided to go to play. I opened sa-mp, picked LWs(ooh yea) and clicked on connect. Waited. Waited. Waited even more. Clicked one more time. And more. And more. And waited. And decided to go insane. Clicked more. Nothing. Strange eh? Nothing happened. Went to try halo too. It wont start too. I thouught WTF?!
Anyone knows what happened? I think it has to do something with SP3 or Latest Graphic Drivers.
You think so too? If so, tell me how to fix :x
I am waiting.
/me stares at the topic and waits for first reply

Im amazed gta:iv will run on a 7300GT - i had to upgrade my 7300LE to run the game.

Could try system restore to when your computer was working, or research the problem online (Google is ur friend)

Lol, you made a terrible mistake, bring GTA IV back already.

Now, 2 things:
1. Your pc is probably to outdated for GTA IV, could you post your PC specs? 1 GB and 7300GT are under the minimum requirements, so you cant run the game at all. I think your processor is a Pentium 4 or something, according to your GPU and memory. You have to buy a new video card (''GPU'') and some new memory (''RAM''), and probably also a new processor. And now, i advise you, dont buy the parts that you need to just run GTA IV, buy a complete new computer. Not from the store, but buy the parts by yourself (i or somebody else on the forum could help) and let someone make a computer out of it.

2. Maybe you melted your video cart by running GTA IV. GTA IV is way to heavy for your card, and that could overheat it easily (if you dont have a good cooler). Im not sure about this though, but i think thats the reason why you cant start any game.

Delete gta_sa.set from My Doccuments/GTA SA User Files, that file often gets corrupted after installing new video drivers.

Dugi pwnz, dominator failz. Thanks Dugi it works!
And champ, gta IV works perfectly except lag. About the graphic card melting, i have special edition of 7300, and a very good cooler. to be actual, i have double cooler 8)
only thing to solve lag IS buying more RAM. i have dual core processor and 2.6 ghz (or how is it spellt)

GTA:IV sucks. Kthxbai.

big disagree, IVs storyline is a lot deeper and better then SAs. also the IV singleplayer is worth re-playing, SAs isnt really.

for all-time-fun  SA > IV tho

I dont fail, i was just trying to help. No problem anyway.......

O, and guess what. Your ram and CPU are good enough, your video card is causing the lag.

GTA:IV sucks. Kthxbai.

Lol, the IV storyline was quite intresting, but the missions were boring and way to easy for a GTA game.

Im curious about your gfx card now - what "special editon 7300GT"?

I think you need more RAM, new gfx card and quad core to stop the lag issues on gta:iv.
or turn everythign down to minimum on the graphics screen of gta:iv - that helps :D

GTA:IV story line was as good as vice citys story line (both which are better than sa's story line imo) but the gta@iv multiplayer, the hardware needed to run it decently, the new pyshics, and the missions did suck a bit.

Gta San Andreas FTW!

PS.
Just because IV is newer
it doesn't have to mean it's better. :)

I think so, too.
Though IV is a nice game, I mean storyline/missions, but requirements are way too high for me.
Comparing graphics with CoD5/CoD-MW2 nor Assassin's Creed 2, I think it's just the same, and they do not need that good RAM, Graphic Chip, etc.

Or shortly said: It sucks.

Lol, for the 10000x time, GTA IV sucks. The missions are boring, the MP sucks and driving is sucky too.

Yeah man, I tried to play it on the nintendo ds and it wouldn't even work. Game sux.

Pfff. GTA IV is a great game and the multiplayer is awesome. It pisses on GTA SA. Problem is that not many people play IV :( That's the only advantage SA-MP has over GTA IV MP, a much larger player base.

Dont forget deticated servers, and all the custom stuff. Thats what made SAMP populair.

GTA SA > GTA4

I completed GTA4 2 times, but never gave me the fun that San Andreas gave me (and still gives me).

In single player:

Vice City > San Andreas > IV

All good games but vice city has more style and you don't have to take fucking long road trips for one stupid mission, and IV has a good story, but the missions are very repetitive. The best mission of those 3 grand theft auto's is IV's bank robbery mission for me tho :p

In multiplayer you can't rly compare tbh, IV and SA:MP are very different, because in IV there aren't dedicated servers (yet) and whether you prefer VC:MP or SA:MP is a matter of tastes I suppose, but SA:MP rules the player count for now.
