Alright Thanks! I will try this.

Setting the frame limit to 0? Isn't that bad? Also I've heard that Vsync helps but I will definitely try turning it off!

I'm running ELS v7. It should be rather stable though correct? Do you recommend I turn off / lower any other settings? I'm not a big "I need the game to look pretty" guy, I just want to run it, not crash and have fun. Also what do these following command lines mean? -novblank -novsync -frameLimit 0

Is there a way to make it so that ELS does not show up on other players cars in MP and just yours? Thanks for your help!

I just have the normal scripts: Emergency Lighting System V6 or 7 Dispatch Assistance System >Braveheart's Policing script >VDH Police Helper Plus our mod team in the group I'm in has created around 8ish vehicles for us to use, all under 5mb. Other people are running the pack fine. With that being said, I don't know what my problem is. My computer can run this game on medium but I don't know if setting the graphics down to low would fix it? Or turning off the shadows? Do shadows cause FPS drop?

Hello, I am running LCPDFR, Braveheart and have 10+ modded vehicles in my game. This has been happening to me a lot more frequently and I don't understand why. Sometimes when I am in game, my FPS drops to about 16, after that happens I either... 1. Get kicked from the server due to "My computer running to slowly" 2. OR my game freezes and my car does a "Bungee Cord" effect. When this "Bungee Cord" effect happens, I stay in game and don't disconnect. The car I'm in is just moving slightly forward and backwards. But to other players, the car is going crazy. The only way I can stop this is to try to alt-tab out of game and force quit the game. What can be causing this? These are my PC specs... Processor: 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4700MQ Processor (2.40GHz 1600MHz 6MB) Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT750M GDDR5 2GB Memory: 8.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600 MHz Hard Drive: TB 5400 RPM+24GB SSD GTA settings... Video Mode: 1920x1080 Aspect Ratio: Auto Texture Quality: Medium Reflection Resolution: High Water Quality: HIGH Shadow Quality: Medium Night Shadows: Medium Texture Filter Quality: Anisotropic x8 Vsync: ON Definition: OFF View Distance: 50 Detail Distance: 50 Vehicle Density: 15 Command Line... -fullspecaudio -nomemrestrict -norestrictions _______________________________________________________________ Do you think I should turn shadows off? These settings were chosen be NVIDIA Optimus. I just clicked Optimize and this is what they gave me. Since I'm running mods and modded vehicles, should I tweak anything?

I just realized that this is the problem I am having. GTA IV is using my Integrated Graphics card instead of my NVIDIA Dedicated Card. I do not know how to change it.

I also have a lenovo with a NVIDIA card plus an integrated graphics Intel card. Could it be that GTA IV is using my integrated card instead of my NVIDIA? How could I check this?

Thanks. Another parameter that a lot of people are suggesting is... –availablevidmem 0.9 or –availablevidmem 1.1 Do you think this has a chance of helping my problem? Also, should I reduce my resolution?

I am in a LCPDFR group and I do have around 10 custom vehicles and the usual LCPDFR mods, braveheart etc. What I don't get is why my game is using so little of my graphics card. If I want to bump it up to medium, which I should be able to do, what command line do you think I should use for GTA to use more of my graphics card? I'm kind of stuck here because like you said, it is not a top notch card, but it still is very decent.

Hey guys, The problems I am having include texture loss occurring more often and FPS drop when I come close to another Police/EMS Vehicle. I have a gaming laptop that I bought just a few months ago. Specs listed below. Processor: 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4700MQ Processor (2.40GHz 1600MHz 6MB) Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT750M GDDR5 2GB Memory: 8.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600 MHz Hard Drive: TB 5400 RPM+24GB SSD My Resource Usage is always 302 / 2048. I cannot get it to use more memory which I feel like is needed to let the game run better. **** Is there a command line that will make this game use more of Resource Usage that will then help my game perform better? **** The command lines I use are... -fullspecaudio -nomemrestrict -norestrictions My current GTA settings are... Video Mode: 1920x1080 Aspect Ratio: Auto Texture Quality: LOW ***(For a brand new computer with a decent graphics card, I feel like this is too low?) Reflection Resolution: LOW Water Quality: LOW Shadow Quality: OFF Night Shadows: OFF Texture Filter Quality: Tri-Linear View Distance: 40 Detail Distance: 40 Vehicle Density: 25 My question is, with a brand new gaming laptop with a decent graphics card, I only can run this game on low with still getting texture loss and FPS drop when approaching other police vehicles. **** Is there a command line that will make this game use more of Resource Usage that will then help my game perform better? **** **** Also, is it a problem that I updated my game to 1.0.7? **** This FPS drop is killing me. Is there anyone with a similar setup that can share their command line / what they do?

Will do! I will make one tonight and post it to this thread.

I do have the locations of the buildings in a text doc, but before I take a lot of time out of my day, I was wondering if anyone had a pretty map stashed away haha.

I've been looking all over the internet to try to find a detailed map of Liberty City that shows all the street names and locations of enterable buildings. So far all I have came across were interactive maps that no longer work and maps that show dots representing buildings, but are very very small and have no street names. Does anyone have a map or know of a source that has one? My group does scenarios all the time and it would be awesome to have a resource like this so that it will allow members that are not that familiar with the map to know what possibilities are out there! Thanks in advance, Zack
