More or less a general support issue, curious to see if any of you others might have run into this;

Basically I just got a GTX 460 SE recently, upgrading from a 9800GTX+, haven't had issues with any games yet except for GTA IV and EFLC, more specifically a really horrible Texturing Issue.

I've actually even reinstalled the game, and windows itself recently (though not just for the game), and it's still doing it.

Anyone come across anything like this? (Note that this is happening on vanilla/modded/etc versions at that, though the game screenshot was taken with a mod involved).

That looks very odd.

Extremely, and I've found -nothing- about any similar issues for it either. I should note also, the game, performance wise, does fine, it just looks like crap.

Apparently the game must save GPU profile data some how when you change settings, I just changed the settings, or more specifically I just lowered the refresh rate from 60 to 59hz, and now it's all fine o_O

I was copying over the game data folder though from the last install (with my save game data and all), I guess some how it stores GPU specific profile data, and it was trying to use something it set for my 9800GTX+ to my new 460... weird.

Weird, I got an issue like that when I had an overclocked GPU. I just put it back to factory settings and it worked fine.

Glad it's all sorted now.

lol, man, apparently you get better effects with a GTX 460 than a 9 series card, every single shot now collectively makes a puff of smoke after shooting, after repeative shots and reloads of the combat shotgun, I couldn't even see in front of me the smoke was so thick o.O

Actually I have a problem similar to this, where the roads, buildings and eventually all NPC characters just straight disappear. They grey out (flatter grey than that though), then eventually go invisible. A game restart fixes it, but boy is it annoying. I'll post some screenshots in the near future.

1. Did you try to reinstall the game fully? So, after uninstalling delete all folders from GTAIV and then use CCleaner for the registry.

2. Or install an old/new driver. With my ATI Card I never have problems like this.

3. Delete this folder (Win7/Vista C:\Users\Usernanme\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games), BEFORE DELETING MAKE A BACKUP!!! This will delete the settings for your graphic card in GTAIV

I hope something will work. :)
