Hello guys, I have this WEIRD problem... Whenever I open Skype (social media) and keep it open, and I open my game, it lags my game, even if I close it. If I restart m​y computer, it wont lag anymore but I want to talk to friends on skype.. My PC specs is the txt document.

 

 

The mods that I use is:

 

  • Car Pack
  • Uniforms
  • Bravehearts policing Script
  • LCPDFR 0.95RC2
  • Crown Vic Engine Sound
  • Gun Sounds
  • Weapons

Hope you can figure something out!

It's because Skype is CPU intensive. If you close it, you're using less CPU, therefore more free for the game. This goes for memory as well. Not to mention your on a notebook PC, which may cause performance issues often.

 

However you're using an outdated version of LCPDFR, I recommend you update to LCPDFR 1.0c (newest version), any older versions are no longer supported.

 

Try telling your friends to switch to Teamspeak, It's like skype but it can run in the background, I find it useful and I can use it (most of the time) while I play GTA, otherwise you'll either need to upgrade your PC or deal with the problems.

 

Look up commandline.txt, I use one for my FPS dips, You might find a useful one for your computer. I've uploaded mine incase you want to try it, put it in your root GTAIV directory.

Will it make the game not lag?

I also noticed Skype uses an infinite amount of RAM when left open. I have 16 GB of RAM and about 65% was being used after my computer and Skype had been running for about 8 hours. Stopping Skype from running on startup fixed the problem and now my computer uses less than 25% RAM when idle. So yeah, Skype has some issues.
