Just wanted to let everyone know how I got my copy of GTA4 ingame.

 

Before:

After:

Now you will need opium_addict's GTA4 Modding Enabler, GTA4 - modding ability. Download

 

After you get that put it in your GTA4 Folder. Default C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\. Now we need to edit Stream.ini. Default C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\pc\Stream.ini.

 

Before:

 

virtual  204800physical	204800virtual_optimised	204800physical_optimised	204800

 

 

After:

 

virtual  51200physical	51200virtual_optimised	51200physical_optimised	51200

 

 

Hopefully I can find more tweaks. Before it crashed right at the screen shot I have a above after acouple of minutes at 2FPS. Now I can play for about 5 minutes at 8FPS. Hope this helps someone else.

Is there a way to mod that file to prevent the other weird texture glitches in the game?

It made the game run better, but it severely lowered the draw distance (which wouldn't be a big deal to me, actually, though...) and caused a lot of problems with the game streaming. Like things behind you would stay as you moved around causing unexpected dips in FPS and the road and buildings infront of you wouldn't appear for a long time.

 

Either way, it made the game run slightly faster briefly, before it became quite unstable. Interesting find at least.

Thanks for the feed back. It was just a way I got ingame and not recommend for people that aren't having problems getting it to run.

Gentlemen, update your nVIDIA graphics card drivers to most current beta drivers 180.70 to fix the "Before" problem.

Thanks. I updated to 180.70 for my brothers' 7800 GTX and it fixed the problem! Great!
