What is laughable is Rockstar's Video Troublshooting, which seems to focus on turning off background services via CTRL+ALT+DEL. Turning the texture and detail settings to medium helped a little, but it doesn't seem to be an issue with hardware but rather the game loading certain elements.Īnother thing that is annoying is that it fails to recognize my 2 GPU's and only reports 1 gig of video ram present. I even turned the resolution down to 1280x800, which upped the frame rates to 60 in some instances, but still had little difference in the low, debilitating dips in frame rates at other spots. Even the opening sequence can't run smoothly without sputtering. (this is not 2 different 4870's in crossfire, but the $500 single card)Īt 1900x1200, with autoconfigure settings, game sputters with frame rates dropping down to 6 and 7 fps at moments, then at other moments, hovers around 23-32 fps. I built my rig, running Vista 64bit on an Intel Q9450 O.C.ed to 3.2 ghz, have Corsair dominator DDR2 1066mhz, Biostar T-Power I45 mobo, 300 gig Raptor Hard drive, and a Radeon 4870 x2 w/ 2GB of GDDR5 ram.
I understand that building games around future hardware specs is not uncommon in PC gaming, but if I built an expensive rig that can play Crysis on high, I'd be pretty peeved if I was forced to settle for medium in GTA IV. Users complaining that they can't adjust certain graphical settings or run the game well on high-end PCs, however, seem to be left in the dust, document states "the higher settings are provided for future generations of PCs with higher specifications than are currently widely available."
Users claim that textures are missing in-game, the game regularly crashes at the main menu and during play, and the consumers quickly discovered and compiled their own fixes.
Widespread reports of multiple game-breaking bugs have troubled the release of GTA IV on PC. "We are aware that a small number of fans are having problems running GTA IV on their PC's and we would like to assure them we are working to help solve these as quickly as possible," Rockstar said in a technical support, via their regularly updated FAQs page and through tech support hotlines.
