Disappointed

[Dkoy]

I went to the shop and got my copy yesterday, went home to play the game.

 

Unfortunately I had to waste my time creating accounts. Social Club? I don't give a ...., then I launched the game. Again, "log in", "create a MS live account" - NO, leave me alone. Ingame "Pop down" menu telling me to login to MS live gaming account all the time. What is all this? Why can't I just install - and play - like the good old days. Why all this account crap. It took forever. Chose one username for Social Club. Then I had to create another for MS live gaming, but the accountname was taken so I had to make up another. What a waste of time.

 

Finally I was ready to play the game. But then I saw a "slideshow". The worst FPS ever. I have an AMD64 X2 4600+, 4Gb ram, 8800 GTS 640Mb and two SATAII in raid 0. Even though it was a slide show. I changed every slider to the lowest possible % - but it didn't change a thing.

 

In fact, the previous versions of GTA looks much better that GTA IV with everything on low - and runs much smoother.

 

BIG Disappointment.

 

Sorry for my english, I am one of those European gamers who got the game a day after :-)

upgrading your cpu will do the trick. that or hope for a patch that will magically make the game depend more on the gpu than on the cpu.

I can smell a fire brewing. Better get your anti-flame suit on.

I felt exactly the same...

in rockstars defence, complaining about bad graphics on gta 4 when you have a processor that's like 2 years old it isn't really justified. but i can still see the frustration though because the game is still stupidly coded and put the load on the wrong hardware and show a completely random result for different users.

i think its a great game if u can play it on higest settings but on this moment there are to much bugs in it and i think its the heavyst game that is out on the moment but im dissapointed that i cant run it on highest settings with my 9600gt and that there are to much bugs in it i hope it get fixed soon but i think i need a grafical card with 1gb to play it on high or do i have it wrong?

that will definitely help but in order to get some playable fps with high settings you also need a pretty new gen processor.
