Hello, 

 

I have been playing GTA IV for sometime now on my computer without any trouble, I have installed a few heavy packs in that time as well. But now GTA IV is freezing for like 2-5 seconds every now and then. It is also having an impact on multiplayer as I get kicked as my computer is running slowly. How can I fix this issue? 

 

I have had commandlines in but they do not work

 

Regards

Sorry, was going to post it a different way from how I posted it but I changed my mind and forgot to change the location.

What was the most recent change you made?

It was a new pack my clan is using. No-one else is having issues I don't think. I installed it on a fresh copy as well.

So, does the game work without it?

It doesn't freeze as much without it.

So then it's most likely a error with the pack, in my opinon.

I have re-downloaded it and put it back in a fresh copy of the game and it is still happening. Is it possible that I have worn down my hardware? Is that possible?

Not necessarily

What are your specs? How big is your vehicles.img?

Not necessarily

Since it worked before adding them, it could very well be an issue with the pack.

It could be to big of a pack for his system to handle, depends on his specs, by then again you could be right.

Nevermind lol, Ineseri is probably right though.

Ineseri, why is it all the unexplainable stuff that happens to me?!?!?! haha! 

YES! SCOOORE!

 

*cough* Right.. Do you have to use the pack? What are your current game settings at?

^Haha! Yeah it's mandatory, my texture quality is at medium, everything else is at low and everything is set to 25

Use this commandline, try the game again.

-renderquality 0 -shadowdensity 0 -texturequality 0 -viewdistance 0 -detailquality 0 -novblank -norestrictions -width 320 -height 240 -percentvidmem 100 -minspecaudio -novsync -renderquality 0 -frameLimit 0 -nomemrestrict

Sorry but I just tried it out and I refuse to use it haha! It proper ruined my screen!

 

Am I just going to have to put up with it freezing?

It ruined your screen? Uh, okaay. Remove the "width" and "height" settings.

And yes, that is always an option.
