Hello, I need help fixing my GTA 4 low fps, Its impossible to do chases and stuff in this lag,well,it isn't extreme lag,but the textures are bad and I cant play this game normally.

Heres my pc stuff.

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core Proccessor 6000+ 3.00 GHZ

Space: 4 GBs,

Free space: 1 GB.

Windows 7 Home premium.

ATI Radeon HD 5670

If I can run A ENB or something like that,please tell me. But the main problem is low fps.

What settings are you using?

Try lowering them, mainly reflection, shadows and resolution

I have tried lowering them, it dosnt work. And the textures are all bad and sometimes the map loads too slow.

Get a better video card.

Seriosuly? Because shit-tons of people have this problem,missing textures and stuff,even low FPS.

Yes. Your card is simply too weak. GTA 4 is so poorly optimized game it requires pretty powerful cards (HD 6850 would be enough).

holy-fucking-shit, When I played this game 3 years ago when I had my shitty pc that had a old shitty graphic card,holy shit how fast it runned. But now in 2012 you're saying that a fucking HD can't run gta 4? jesus christ I hope they dont fuck up gta 5.

Tonnes of people have this issue becuase:

* R* did a pathetic job porting the game from console.

* Vehicle modders don't appear to comprehend a polygon count.

* Too many people think consoles rule (cause of first point)

* R* never intended the game's engine to load vehicles 800+% larger than their models.

...

Original police car (CVPI like): ~13,094 polys

A CVPI from a popular site: ~125,911 polys

That is an 862% increase, the game engine cant handle that, especially when you have many cars being spawned. These people need to learn to stick to a polygon budget.

First off a two core processor is not enough for gta 4 and the you might need a better GPU

Ah I give up, they f'ed up GTA 4. I guess I just gotta go whit the lag and missing textures.

GTA4 has its problems, it was poorly made for PC as Sniper said. How much RAM does your PC have?

I recently got a minor upgrade from my GTS450 and went to an XFX HD6850, now I'm facing lag issues with shadows and view distance... I believe GTA4 was more optimized for Nvidia cards than it was optimized for ATi cards.

IDK Why but, When I started up my gta 4 it didnt lag and I didnt have any missing texture,strange. anyways, Thanks for the help guys, And kevin I have 4,00 GB.

quad core and

2 gb ddr5 video card

at least 6 to 8 gb of ram

also fast sata harddrive with more room than what u got

You could just get a better PC or lower the settings.

I play GTA IV on a Intel HD graphics card with 3 GB of ram and I got it working pretty well. I get about 15-20 Fps without Fraps and 10-15 with Fraps. That's pretty good for my laptop. Try using Graphic enhancement for low end computers it works great.

Try using Graphic enhancement for low end computers it works great.

Would that decrease lag, increase missing textures etc? I am also having problems pretty similar to this guy!

(PC specs: Intel Core i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz 6.00 GB (5.80 usable))

LAg isn't to bad with few modded cars, skins and scripts but still pretty shocking!

Do you have any links for any graphic enhancements, that would be really helpful!

(I am using a "commandline.txt" by the way!)

Thanks fbo194

Hello, I need help fixing my GTA 4 low fps, Its impossible to do chases and stuff in this lag,well,it isn't extreme lag,but the textures are bad and I cant play this game normally.

Try:

1) open a text document (.txt) (notepad)

2) type this:

-norestriction

-nomemrestrict

-novblank

-percentvidmem "100"

3) copy EXACTLY that^

4) save it as "commandline.txt"

5) Put it in your GTA IV game directory

6) lower all graphics to minimum

If those ones don't work then try:

-renderquality 0

-shadowdensity 0

-texturequality 0

-viewdistance 0

-detailquality 0

-novblank 0

-norestrictions

-width 512

-heigth 384

-safemode

-availablevidem 3

-percentvidem 100

-minspecaudio

-novsync

-renderquality 0

-framelimit 0

-nomerestrict

-fullscreen

Hope this helps, its not perfect but took me from NO textures atall to most.

HINT: Works best at night (less lag).

Regards fbo194

It shouldn't decrease lag to much

So will it help my low-graphic lagging game?

It's made for low end computers so ya
