Hi.

 

I've been having this problem for quite a while now and I can't seem to get it away. When I'm playing, the whole screen goes black and I can still move about, shoot etc but the only thing that is on the screen is the radar. To get the game working again, I have to close it down and restart it.

 

This just happened on a completely fresh install of GTA 4 with absolutely no mods installed. 

 

Specs -

Intel Pentium D 930 3GHz Dual Core Processor

2.5GB of RAM

NVidia GeForce 7800 GTX 500mb

Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit

1TB Hard Drive

 

reset your graphics settings.

reset your graphics settings.

 

How do I do that?

i do is just go in game and raise all the settings or i think there a reset option in the game menu.

Had this issue with an ENB. Try removing yours if you have one

I've got nothing installed and it's still happening.

You have minimal RAM and your vid card is 500meg...that's the problem.  Although I suspect that your graphics card is using vRam, chewing up your already scant RAM.  Try adding 8-16gigs.

 

Also, you can try to turn off shadows, reduce view and detail distances to under 15, and car density under 20, texture quality to medium/low and reflectons to med/low.

 

Good luck!

Try lowering your graphical setting on the GTA options page. This is may help a ton if you lower them quite a ways.

Fresh install of Windows 7, fresh install of GTA 4 via Steam with no mods installed - it still happens. It doesn't matter whether I'm running the game at medium or at 800x600 with everything turned off, it still happens after about 10 minutes of gameplay.

Same problem that at the end, right ?

That's the one.
