What are your computer specifications?

 

 

Going on what NB is saying. Your computer might not be good enough. I had this exact problem. I had to update my video card.

 

 

Get a new pc.simple :)

 

 

You should be able to find the specifications from the place you purchased it, is it a desktop or laptop computer?

 

Either way you can try and look for your model on the manufacturers website and link it to us in this thread.

 

 

You could also do what I do on both my desktop and laptop, I know for windows 7 there is a setting in the control panel that allows you to set how your processors run and lets you adjust the computer for either best graphics or best performance, or anywhere in between. But I have my laptop set at best possible performance, and it runs pretty well, not at 60 fps, but pretty well. You could try that.

 

 

I'm just going to give it to you straight. Your computer isn't good enough. You need some better specs to play GTA alone without mods.

 

 

You gave the name of your computer.......

 

 

also all laptops are mass produced, there is no customization in them. If they tell you that the computer is no good, then trust us, it's no good. Laptops are not really made for gaming, they are business people computers sacrificing power for mobility. The only thing you can customize on a laptop is RAM and HDD, sometimes you can get lucky and upgrade the CPU.

 

Desktops are a million times better, and cheaper in the long run as you don't have to replace the whole thing, just upgrade what you need to upgrade.

Also the Max DDR3 memory that ur gfx card can have is only 256MB, and thats just covering the minimum. Adding in mods, it's going to want more.

 

So really your computer can handle GTA IV on LOW settings, I would not expect much out of it, so that is why you can not get online. They have FPS requirements that you need to keep in order to stay connected in MP

Thanks for trying guys. it ended up that it was the clan's car pack that was causing the lag other then that it works great,

Great to hear its better now ;)

I had the same problem, But I was running on max high graphics. I set them all to low and now I play just fine.. :)
