I have done a commandline.txt, made by different commands made by different people, I mixed it all together and made a brand new commandline.txt!

If you want it, press here.

That fixed my lag/stutter completely, I recommend it to everyone, if it doesn't help, unlucky...

I did it and it worked.

HOW TO INSTALL

Download it.

Put it in your MAIN GTA IV folder.

If it worked, have a glass of cola and enjoy your lag free IV.

(Note: If your computer is real bad, or atleast can't make the IV, this MAY fix it, this is not guaranteed, but it will reduce lag a little!)

My specs:

AMD Athlon II X2 P340

AMD Radeon HD 6650M

750 GB HDD

4GB DDR3 Memmory.

Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit

Laptop

So this it it.

Does this reduce texture quality? Or just other stuff? Because I would like to get better perfomance(even though i don't have almost no lag at all)but without reducing texture quality.

When I downloaded it to see what it is, this was all that was in it:

-renderquality:

-shadowdensity:

-texturequality:

-viewdistance:

-detailquality:

-novblank:

-width:

-height:

-fullscreen:

-percentvidmem:

-minspecaudio:

-memrestrict 629145600

-restrictApp 0

-refreshrate 50

-framelimit 1

-norestriction

-nomemrestrict

-noprecache

-fullspecaudio

So it appears to be blank templates for the in game settings. So yes, it will reduce quality, like I said earlier. You can't magically make the game be less of a resource hog with a config file. The performance boost has to come from somewhere.

Can't you basically do most of those things in game already? Like putting everything down?

-noprecache

Really shouldn't speed shit up unless you have a really old disgustingly slow HDD. (Pre-2006??)

Sorry but this commandline isn't good.

For example:

-fullspecaudio and -minspecaudio

or this -nomemrestrict

It fixed up for me, I just wrote everything in it, it is blank yep, but it fixed for me, even if it was blank.

For those who now actually have lag, just try it out.

This is good for those who have lags or low fps.

I thought precache actually SPEEDS it up. All haill my 1997 Maxtor 80GB HDD.

Tried to do this but my resolution always went back to 800x600 instead of 1260x800. Tried a couple of times and no luck...

The archive is supposed to be called "commandline" right? Then you put commands into it like this: -availablevidmem " " -height " " -width " " -nomemrestrict etc etc?

Yeah,

write your resolution at height and width, like 800x600 etc, what you use to have.

Like this:

-height 1080

-width 1920

-availablevidmem 0.33

*BUT DO NOT USE ANY UN-RESTRICTION (this includes the nomemrestrict and norestrictions or anything like that)!

Yeah it's suppose to, but if you have a slow HDD that fails at seeking it can slow it down.

This is the commandline.txt I use - Please leave away the () and all its contents as theyre just there to explain what its for

-norestrictions

-memrestrict 629145600 (When the value is reached it will start emptying the memory, prevents from memory leakage bugs while making the game faster, just like nomemrestrict which has leakage though)

-availablevidmem 2.0 (Sets the available VRAM for the game. I have 1024 MB, if you have 512MB, you should put 1.0 there)

-percentvidmem 100 (How many percent of the vram is the game allowed to use?)

-fullspecaudio

Where do I actually put the commandline? Same place I put ELS? If so it does seem to be working right.

And I don't see availablevidmem

Yep, the root of the GTA directory.
