Hi all, I would love to lay GTA IV again (uninstalled in about April 2014) when I am not doing work, etc. But my several year old laptop was finally saying "NO!" after about a year and a half of playing on it! It just finally could not run the game any ore, even with various command-lines, and so called "Lag-fixes". (Which seem to be from YouTube videos where the up-loader can hardly spell to save his life, and has never heard of punctuation!) So basically, if you have a bad computer for GTA IV LCPDFR, but you can run less-than-average/average and have a 'to make run better' list (command-lines, laptop battery settings, game settings, fix patches, etc) please let me know so I can try and play again! So weighing up the pros and cons: Do I spend a couple of hours trying and then have my laptop overheat and shut down after 20mins of playing - or not?

I haven't played 1.0c yet, but have done older LCPDFR, and I would recommend looking at this thread: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> There are really too many to list now, so have a look there!

I would appreciate you not "hi-jacking" the thread I started for your own personal questions. You are welcome to start your own topic in the correct forum section. I understand you are new, but just saving you the problems in the future with rules and Amin staff. Many thanks and good luck, Fbo194

Thanks very helpful post with some good points.

Thanks very much, I am away today, but will have a proper look this evening. I really appreciate the help, now let me just try and build it correctly! Thanks, so will dual core suffice for LCPDFR with mods, and decent graphics/frame rate, or should it be 4 or 6, like Yard1 was saying? Off now, so will reply later Yard1 and Dave! Thanks again.

Unfortunately no, so I would need a monitor, not an amazing one, but one that has fairly good quality and not too big or small. Okay that is good about W7 :) Max is £600.00, but I am willing to go another £50-100 if it will really benefit me, but no further than £700.00.

Thanks very much, if you don't mind including monitor and (is it possible to have Windows 7 rather than 8 these days?) WIndows 7, that would be great, thanks.

Thanks for the replies guys, and particularly the video. I really appreciate it!

Good point, I will do research along the way, with the help from Yard1, and then when I can afford/ready to buy, can do so and build!

Okay so the best bet is to get the parts you showed me (or similar ones) and build it, or get someone else to build it for you?

Thanks very much for you help Yard1, I see what you mean about cheap rip-off ones, it is just annoying that they seem to spam the eBay pages! The only thing is I have no knowledge of building any computers at all, and wouldn't really be very comfortable with attempting to build my own. I would like to get a pre-made one, though one from a good manufacturer, know any? Thanks

Hi all, Have been thinking of getting a desktop PC recently, as my 2011 non-gaming laptop is no longer up to running IV with LCPDFR and other mods. I am basically looking for a computer to run IV with LCPDFR, decent amount of car, ped and script mods, and also Call of Duty, but also watch films and use the internet. So basically is this right for me and the current price, bear in mind I wouldn't want to spend much more than £500-£600 and I am looking to buy end of next summe-rish, maybe Easter or even Christmas, but probably not before 2015. Thanks a lot. fbo194

Try putting the weaponinfo.xml in first, and then add your baton/nitestick, and see if that works.

Am going to add music to the RAFP if anyone is interested.

Okay I'll keep hunting!

Thankyou for your feedback, I did want to add some music but wasn't sure what would be right for these slideshows - any suggestions? And yes those Defenders are very nice!
