During the course of my game, sometimes the maps all disappear (like in the photos attached below). Usually I know it will happen once a car will not spawn , or something along those lines, I think its because I may have installed a ELS car in the wrong slot or something , but IF ANYONE KNOWS WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, PLEASE SPEAK UP! Thank you!

Your car mods are probably too high quality for your computer to handle. Try taking some of them out.

I'm using an Asus G74Sx, a laptop designed for gaming.... its part of the RoG family (Republic of Gamers). So I think it should be able to handle the car mods?

GTAIV is well know for memory leakage

GTAIV is well know for memory leakage

What does that mean? :wacko:

What does that mean?

A memory leak, in computer science (or leakage, in this context), occurs when a computer program consumes memory but is unable to release it back to the operating system. In object-oriented programming, a memory leak happens when an object is stored in memory but cannot be accessed by the running code.^[1] A memory leak has symptoms similar to a number of other problems (see below) and generally can only be diagnosed by a programmer with access to the program source code; however, many people refer to any unwanted increase in memory usage as a memory leak, though this is not strictly accurate from a technical perspective.

So...... Basically, GTA IV can't regrab the objects, therefore causing the maps to disappear?

Either remove the high poly cars or other mods you have that could effect memory (like trafficload) or you could try what is said in some of these discussion topics about memory problems:

No, i used a camera to take the pics because I don't know how to do in-game screenshots. As for the graphics, i use a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M as my graphics card.. any suggested settings for this particular card??

i also have these problems but they dissapear when i play night time. (Ingame) Somewhat annoying since i sometimes want to play daytime, but then the entire city dissapears LoL.

Alright, I just uploaded screenshots some of my emergency cars (was able to spawn about 4 vehicles before it was "Unable to creat object!") & map screw-ups to Xfire located here: http://beta.xfire.com/profile/1stcavmedic
