Hi all,

 

I would love to lay GTA IV again (uninstalled in about April 2014) when I am not doing work, etc. But my several year old laptop was finally saying "NO!" after about a year and a half of playing on it! It just finally could not run the game any ore, even with various command-lines, and so called "Lag-fixes". (Which seem to be from YouTube videos where the up-loader can hardly spell to save his life, and has never heard of punctuation!) 

 

So basically, if you have a bad computer for GTA IV LCPDFR, but you can run less-than-average/average and have a 'to make run better' list (command-lines, laptop battery settings, game settings, fix patches, etc) please let me know so I can try and play again!

 

So weighing up the pros and cons: Do I spend a couple of hours trying and then have my laptop overheat and shut down after 20mins of playing - or not?

Grand Theft Auto IV isn't renown for it's excellent performance, I would say an old laptop simply will not run the game. 

 

IMO, save yourself some time despite how great the game is.
