Hi guys....i'll get straight to the point....i need help trying to fix lag....

 

My resource rate is:  385/1009 MB

 

and every time I leave Niko's apartment the game lags dramaticly...
 

Does anyone have any sollutions?

 

Thks

what are your pc specs?

Make sure you don't have any big programs running in the background. 

 

Also, you can try and install a command line. download this http://www.gtagaming.com/downloads/gta-iv/misc-mods/11860 Then just plop it in the main directory 

what are your pc specs?

 

CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200

RAM - 4GB DDRII

 

HDD - 640GB

 

VIDEO - ATI Radeon HD4850 512MB

 

I know the VIDEO and CPU specs aren't the best...

Yeah but I have the LCPDFR mod installed, won't that affect that? (I reaserched abit before coming here and it said to make sure I don't have any mods but I supose not)

And because of the gpu (video) and cpu you probably have the lag...

 

 

You can try a commandline (just Google it   ), or the other solution is to upgrade your system

 

 

*EDIT* LCPDFR doesn't affect it as much as car mods do

Yeah I know...I just don't get why with 1009MB of resource and i'm not even using half it lags so much...

Ok i'll look into it then...

yeah i have a couple car mods :/

It's the same with me, I'm using like 250MB of 1024, but I'm waiting to install my new gpu...

 

 

And if the car mods are high poly, it's better if you replace them with low poly models, that will give you a bit less lag

ok cheers mate

ok cheers mate

 

No problem 

 

 

Hope it helps

I highly recomend using a commandline, unless you have exceptionally high specs because Rockstar ripped GTA IV badly from console, to PC and it means the settings are all on exceptionally high, and can't be changed without it.

 

Once you've done that, then customize your graphics to your system.

 

Hope this helped.

Yeah, so i go the command line and now have a resource rate of: 2028MB 

The game starts of with shitty graphics but after i mess with the graphics it works like magic! thanks to all you guys!

What commandline did you use?

I am not too sure, with me I only have it because I have to, and I have to keep al graphics on extremely low anyway, but there must be someway, try googling it. I am glad that it now works for you and have fun playing!
