owering the gfx to look crap

[thastrogg]

which method are u refering to, lowering the gfx to look crap but solve problem, or the clean driver install?

CLEAN DRIVER DONT WORK FOR THE MOST PEOPLE...' Just because it worked for you doesnt mean it works for everybody...

 

The question is do you want to play with low that looks ok or....play the game with no textures?

[JaFuzz]

Hmm how do you play low? i dont care how it looks at the moment i just want to play the game lol

 

can always play again with the settings up when a fix is found for all this :s

 

So how do you lower the graphics lower lower or have i read wrong..

Does killing yourself, after all that other stuff, fix this permanently, or only until it happens again?

If so, I reckon that the cash will start depleting very fast...

[.G.dead.T.inside.A.]

I have exactly same problem as in the 1st screenshot, vehicles, people have textures rest is...umm...non existant   

Glad I found this 1, I'll give it a try and tell If it Works, fingers crossed (God Help pls ill be gud  )

 

edit: it WORKS... NOT.    I guess im stuck with that finely crafted GTAIV box, 2 lousy guides and a poster\map thingy my ASS.

try to set the resulotion to 800:600 (56) and then to 848: (60) and then kill yourself or load a save ..i recommend killing because then the hospital loads up and the streets

I tought it worked at 1st,hospital, streets and stuff loaded, but after i got to hardware store and 2 albanians supposed to show up, textures again started dissapearing, funny thing is whenever i load game in roman's place it seems everything is working, until i get out to the street just to find textures missing. Maybe Ill be able to play it after patch, or after 5 years when ill buy new pc.

Tested it. The textures actually started disappearing after I died. I then restarted the game, just started driving around and it still happened.

mess around with the resolution put it to lowest then to 800:600 (60) then to 800:600 (75) and then to 848:400 (60) and then to (75) and all textures should show up

 

Its something with the resolution that causes the textures to not show up...I recommend to give it a try and when your done kill yourself or load a save...

Mine is a bit different from yours. i had played with no problem for 4 days. all in game settings were at max and resslution was 1680x150 then yesterday after 4 or 5 hours of playing suddenly all textures but cars and lights had dissepeared and never came back. since then i have been searching all the forums hoping to find out what the problem might be and to find the solution but no luck so far

 

My specs are:

 

e8400 4.0 Ghz 9800gtx 4gb crucial ballistix tracer ram

Is it overheating and are you overclocking something?

try to not overclock...that might be the problem

[marinexx]

downclocked it to its default value but no chance still msiisng texture. i guess it might be rivatuner though i played the game quite a while without any problem with rivatuner installed on my system but then again some posts reported rivatuner might be the problem and i spent at least 2 hours messing around with rivatuner but nothing did help

Try this

 

 

Step 1) Go to “Add and Remove Programs” within the Control Panel. Scroll through the list of installed programs and look for any third-party driver performance tuners that may have been installed previously.

 

Step 1a) If you find any of these performance tuners open the application and reset driver values back to default. This is very important! Do not uninstall this program before you revert the changed values.

 

Step 1b) Now close the program and uninstall it.

 

Step 2) Go to “Add and Remove Programs” within the Control Panel. Scroll down the list of programs and remove any program with NVIDIA or ATI in the name.

 

Step 3) Reboot your machine.

 

Step 4) Download and install the latest drivers for your graphics card from one of the following locations: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us or http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html and save them to your computer.

 

Step 5) Run GTA IV

 

If your textures are still not loading in then you may have residual files from uninstalled drivers left on your machine. In order to fix the former, we recommend that you take the following steps:

 

Step 1) Find a reputable tool that is known to clean files leftover from driver tuners. You can search for these on the Internet.

 

Step 2) Uninstall your display drivers again.

 

Step 3) Reboot your machine. While booting up, hold F8 until prompted with the Windows Advanced Options menu. Choose to enter Safe Mode. (Newer computers may require you to press F8 multiple times before being prompted).

 

Step 4) Once in Safe Mode, setup the program found in Step 1 to search for display drivers. Run the appropriate cleaning option. Reopen the tool and make sure that no other display driver files are found.

 

Step 5) Install the latest drivers that you downloaded earlier.

 

Step 6) Reboot your machine and load Windows up normally.

 

Step 7) Play Grand Theft Auto IV.

Just reduce texture quality or resolution. Textures on high take alot of vram.

You mean the instructions in the first post? I tried them. It did fix the textures for a moment, but after driving a bit, the textures started to disappear. Also, the textures disappeared when I pressed escape.

Well i encountered that problem as well but after messing around with the resulotion exactly every texture came

 

mess around with the resolution put it to lowest then to 800:600 (60) then to 800:600 (75) and then to 848:400 (60) and then to (75) and all textures should show up

 

Its something with the resolution that causes the textures to not show up...I recommend to give it a try and when your done kill yourself or load a save...
