I have recently installed gta 4 again on my pc just to play it a little bit because i was bored, but there were much problems! First of all scripts and enb series were leftover from the previous install! So i had to delete all those mods. Once i got a clean version of the game i installed  LCPDFR 1.1, vdh police helper, vdh coroner, vdh towtruck, bravehearts ANPR and wouters callouts. I started the game and everything was fine for 5 minutes. Then the game would occasionally freeze then show me a black screen and then it switches to my desktop where it says "desktop window manager has stopped working" I close that and i continue playing. Sometimes it would freeze and then it would change my resolution from 1024x768 to 1680x1050 (native resolution)

I change it back and continue playing. After some time the coroner stops working. They arrive in the van, but only one person comes out and stays near the door. I order the other person out of the van and then they clean up the bodies from the crime scene. I call them again and the script crashes! Is there any way i could fix this!? I play the game with these settings: Shadows medium, reflections, medium, water medium, textures medium, all draw distances on 1 and 2x anostropic filtering.   PC specs (poop specs) Intel core 2 quad q8200 quad core 2.33 overclocked to 2.45, Geforce 9500 gt 1024mb and 5gb of ddr2 ram. I get around 30- 50 fps

 

GTA IV is known as a very unstable, buggy game. Nothing much can be done about it. It's just the 8 year old game running on new(er) machines.

Just don't use a bunch of unneeded mods. I just use vanilla GTA IV with a few added cars from Custo's pack and LCPDFR 0.91.

I deleted gta 4 from the folder in steamapps\common and downloaded it again and it fixed it. The previous installation had a bunch of buggy mods installed!
