Can you take a picture with fraps, the image you took was not very clear.

you can already see the black patterns above the road

Welcome to GTA 4 - a horrible port of a console game!

Try lowering your settings.

Memturbo4 is the only thing that worked for me.  No matter how fast your machine, this happens to most who mod GTAIV.  I tried everything, what I ended up with is non-els police1 and police2 and memturbo4.  I am using tow mod, braveheart 2.2, coroner mod, no-overtake, els v5 -only for polpat and FIB-, police helper, radiance, traffic load).  This setup, at least for me, seldom crashes, smooth frames and texture pop/missing textures issues gone.

 

Memturbo4 will keep clearing ram and cache, which will resolve the memory leaks that result in missing/popping textures.  Set Auto Recover and Target RAM as close to 55M as you can get the sliders.  Apply, then optimize and Deep Scrub.  In Program Booster tab, I have both selections checked and sliders maxed (all the way to the right).  In the Config section, uncheck "Don't auto recover until CPU usage is 25% or less".  I also set to auto recover every 5-minutes.  Memturbo works!

 

Hope this helps.

 

Good day,
