This, or if your using car mods, the car mods that are high poly are taking up your games memory and there isint enough to load the textures, what are your system specs?

i had this problem when i had no good graphics card and no mods.

Right, but that's because as you stated your system was in adiquite, but I have a machine that can run perfectly fine until you start using high poly models, then this type of effect happens, which can only be fixed by either upgrading your computers components, or removing the mods.

I get complete texture loss too when I play online and we all use the same modded vehicle image and I run the game on a 3.5GHz quad core 8 GB RAM, RAID 0 10K RPM 150GB Raptor drives, dual ATI 5830HD graphics in Crossfire.

Pretty top notch system and it still happens to me.

I experienced this issue, and I have the following specs:

AMD Phenom x4

16GB RAM

ATI HD5670 1GB

I have found that adding command line options (via commandline.txt in my GTAIV folder) helps me with this issue.

I use the following:

-norestriction (Allows you to edit your graphics options without restriction)

-nomemrestrict (Removes restriction on the amount of memory GTAIV uses for video)

-availablevidmem 2.0 (Allows GTAIV to use system RAM as VRAM. Number is a multiplier, so 1.0 will use all of your VRAM, and 2.0 will use all of your VRAM, plus an additional amount of your system RAM equal to your VRAM)

-percentvidmem 100 (Specifies how much of the memory you set with the previous option that GTAIV is permitted to use)

To use these, just create a file called commandline.txt in your GTAIV (or EFLC) folder and paste the following inside:

-norestriction

-nomemrestrict

-availablevidmem 2.0

-percentvidmem 100

You can change the multiplier for the availablevidmem command to something that suits your system.

Hope this helps!
