Well, i am experiencing the infamous "taxi bug" that makes all car transform into taxis. I think it's really annoying to just have taxis, and i don't want to use TrafficFlow. I recently installed some of Lt. Caine's &  Ekalb's multi-skin VSPI and Buffalo's and now i am having this problem. I deleted all car mods and i am still having the problem. Is it a memory leak?

What are your computer specs? 

I am not so technical, so how do i look it up?   I know i use Intel Core 2 duo E7400 and a ATI readon HD 4650 (i know it sucks, hate me).

Well there's probably your answer. Set your settings to minimum, please. 

Ehhh... I can run GTA4 on maximum graphics, lag-free, and the rest on medium low and use ~700mb Of 1010mb, with no problem. On the lowest i would be around 200. 

Does it work without the car mods then? 

Can you try creating a file called "commandline.txt" in your gta iv dir and add the following lines: 

-norestrictions

Here's my specs: ------------------

Ahh, yes the long lost commandline. Already have it somewhere.

Can you answer all of my questions, please? 

 

Also, what does your commandline say then? 

Nope, still just taxis when i have my fresh backup is used. My commandline says: -windowed

-nomemrestrict Using windowed when my CPU goes bananas.

Hm alright. Add and overwrite the current contents of the commandline file with this: 

-novblank -norestrictions -percentvidmem 100 -novsync -renderquality 0 -frameLimit 0 -nomemrestrict

Can you post a screenshot of your GTA folder btw?

Screens: 1   2     Needed to take because it didn't fit.

Does it work with the commandline I gave you? 

Trying it now.

BrB.

Alright, good luck!

Alright, good luck!

It worked. I love you ineseri. I F*CKING LOVE YOU! It was around 30fps better. I <3 you! 

Lol, please keep loving me forever<3 

 

Happy gaming man :) 

Yeah, thank you, and actually, some setting were higher with the commandline and the game ran better.
