getting started?

[Paramorefan31 0]

Hello everyone! I am currently in the process of getting gta 4 for pc. Is there anything that would go good with this mod or anything i need other than the the net 4.0 and the C++ 2010 thing. I'd appreciate any suggestions and help!

Different cars & ELS.

Would you people stop recommending those high poly cars of death until you at least learn their system specs?

If you have a mid to high range computer, you can download some extra police cars from modding sites as well as ELS, whose link can be found in the GTA discussion forum.

That's wrong, Modding cars plus using LCPDFR on an average computer will cause Object pop-ins and Texture flickering, It will work but it's less enjoyable.

On a mid–high range computer?

I have no problems.

I said on an average computer. Meaning Intel Core i5 Etc.

You're thinking of a different thread I believe.

No where here did you mention an average computer.

EDIT: Disregard this transmission

What I meaning is you can't really mod the game on a mid to range computer, You need a high spec computer to mod the game and play LCPDFR unless you wanna experience memory leaks and texture flickering etc

I believe an i5 (or AMD version) plus a GTX 550 or maybe 540 will be able to run LCPDFR.

EDIT: Hell, I have even seen a person with a core 2 DUO @ 2GHz running this mod. It looked terrible but it ran.

A mid-high range system can handle a few mods.

You should listen to Iconography, he definitely knows something about computer hardware. Take a look at his profile interests first.

I have an intel core 2CPU6600 @2.40ghz and an Asus GTS450 GPU so I would consider that as a mid range system.

I have no problems at playing with highest settings, LCPDFR, ELS and police car mods. I get an occasional crash and some texture pops here and there but that's something you have to accept when modding a game.
