Okay, figured it out. (thanks for the help btw) Turns out if the resoulution is too high, it lags, and so on.

Yay, first post is a help question... I recently got a new computer, and loaded GTA IV from steam. however, when I drive at any speed, it lags for about a second and then shoots forward. Here's the diagnostic: (Well the start of it anyway, I'm too lazy to list the specs) BEGIN *SIGNED* LCPD First Response Issue Report Diagnostics Tool Version: 0.4.3 Operating system: Windows7 HomePremium (6.1.1.0 Build: 7601) Service Pack:Service Pack 1 System RAM (GB): 7.95 CPU cores: 4 NET Framework 4.0 installed: True Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable installed: True GTA IV - Installed: True GTA IV - Install folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV GTA IV - Version: 1, 0, 7, 0 GTA IV - Asi loader installed: True GTA IV - Asi loader: DSOUND GTA IV - Asi loader valid: True GTA IV - C++ ScriptHook installed: True GTA IV - C++ ScriptHook valid: True GTA IV - C++ ScriptHook version: 0, 5, 1, 0 GTA IV - ScriptHookDotNet installed: True GTA IV - ScriptHookDotNet valid: True Am I being stupid? Is it just that it's crap on some computers? do I need it in compatibility? etc., etc. The weird thing is, it's fine on my HP pavilion, admittedly with lower settings.
