Hi guys, I am posting this topic because my GTA IV lags out on me, and it did not do it to me yesterday. What should I do?

 

Here is all of the things that you guys need to know..

How often does the lag-out occur? Are you running the game as administrator by going to the GTA IV folder, right clicking on GTAIV.exe, Properties, Compatibility and selecting 'Run this program as administrator', and also doing the same exact thing to the LaunchGTAIV.exe file?

I have him on skype and we play multiplayer together and he said that he gets the messages 2 times. And he is running the game as admin.

What exactly is the message?

Like when you have a really slow pc and you want to play mulitplayer and it shows that error message.

Still, what exactly is the error message? And why isn't the OP responding?

It saids Disconnected from game session.

"You have been disconnected because your game is running too slow"? OP: What was the most recent change you made to your game/system?

I am talking to him on skype and he saids his game crashes at startup.

What was the most recent change the op made to his game/system?

Well before the crash had happened, he had installed EMB, but he doesn't know how to uninstall it.

It should be enough to delete "d3d8.dll" in the main GTA IV directory and restore any overwritten files with the backups made previous to installing the ENB mod.

We tried deleting the d3d8.dll but nothing, but he keeps installing mods when I tell him not too. He is constantly not knowing what I am telling him... 

Tell him to reply in this thread instead...
