Texture problems? Try this.

 

I found out that the latest 180.70 Forceware drivers seems to give texture problems after 10 - 20 mins of gameplay.

 

Use 180.60 Forceware which seems to work nice.

 

If you have any texture problems like from the beginning of the game or after 10 - 20 mins of gameplay try this.

 

- Remove your NVIDIA or ATI Drivers from control panel first.

- Go to Safe Mode

- Run Guru3D'S Driver Sweeper to clean out AGEIA / NVIDIA / ATI stuff

- (Optional) If you have Driver Cleaner.NET also use this one to clean out AGEIA / NVIDIA / ATI stuff

- Uninstall Rivatuner which seems to give texture problems also

- Run Crap Cleaner (Ccleaner.com) to remove remaining files and registry entries.

- Install 180.60 Forceware Drivers or the proper ATI Drivers.

- Boot Windows XP/Vista in Normal mode and the game should work now.

 

Let me know if this works for you guys. remember to exactly follow these steps, especially the safe mode part.

Hello man, I got that bug too, And i am re-installing GTA now. I will come back with a reply when it's done. But are you sure that rivertuner makes bugs too? Because i am overclocking my grafic card with that (as i only got a 8500GT).

I can confirm that this works, my buddy was having the same problem yesterday and this fixed it. Just gotta make sure you run driver sweeper in safe mode or it won't work.

Well i can confirm that when using Rivatuner you get instant texture problems in GTA4.

 

My method should work. I also emailed Rockstar Support about this.

Got this reply back.
