GTA IV Problems. Help Please :/

[Storm 25]

Hey Guys! Lately my GTA IV has started getting problems I've not had before.

-Street textures loading way to slow.

-Tree's showing the far low polygon version, next to the high res one. Meaning I can see one low ugly ass looking tree and one nice one.

-Objects pop in.

I've tried reinstalling, The mem restrict with bunch of numbers.

Specs:

Intel Core i5 2.52 GHz 2.52 GHz.

4 GB Ram

Ati Radeon HD 5650 1 GB VRAM.

I've removed mods and reinstalled but I still get these issues.

Can anyone help? :/

Game is running out of vram -> memory leakage. Means, either go down with your settings, or use commandline.txt and memrestrict

But why have this never happend before? I could play GTA IV for hours and nothing like this would ever happen...

GTA IV Suddenly decides to nom nom nom up all the VRAM right away?

and lowering settings doesnt work...even lowest stuff is still poping in

It's because running big scripts like LCPD:FR also consumes memory :)

I also said even without mods, Nothing...Pure simple GTA IV Fresh from install :/

Have you updatet your graphiccard driver?

[Storm 25]

According to Ati's control pannel it's the latest version :/

11.7 is the latest version. Maybe you have a virus?

I play on my laptop that's never connected to the internet almost, :/ I have a dekstop next to me I download stuff on and serf the web.

I'm on the Phone with Rockstar support, even tho I've been on hold for 10 min now.

Note: Rockstar helped me by putting GTA IV in Windows XP Service Pack 3 Compability mode. It actually helped ALOT and gave me 3 more FPS..

Tree's are not loading properly still but I'm looking into it and Rockstar would send a mail if they found a fix.

[Break 978]

LOL I need to try that. What did you set into compatability mode? LaunchGTAIV.exe?

[Storm 25]

All the stuff that's a programm in the GTA IV Folder.

[Storm 25]

Okay, Everything in my GTA IV is normal now except one thing...Notice the picture..

My tree's show a Low version that's used for models very far far away next to the high one...

It's annoying me like hell :/

Do anyone hold a fix for this? Please...

Thanks in advance!

Looks normal to me, just GTA IV's derpstyle rendering. Just drive closer to it and it'll render properly. It's probably because you haven't got that fast of a gaming computer (actually a laptop)

Also, please watch the doubleposts, next time I'm gonna start merging.

[Storm 25]

Sorry for double posting..I know it's bad..lol.

And the tree's sometimes won't render even If I am right next too it.. But I'll live with it I guess :/

Thanks anyway!

You should be busy patrolling, not looking at foliage. :thumbsup:

You should be busy patrolling, not looking at foliage.

it isn't a LCPDFR related problem, maybe he dosen't want to patrol and simply wonder around looking at his awsome graphics?

Then this belongs on the Rockstar forums, as he suggested earlier. :whistling:
