x_orange90_x Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) i've tried all the other methods of fixing the texture issues in this game. none of them worked, and my main problem is my system memory.. i only have 1gb. but i wont bore you with such details.. here is what worked for me and if you stop and think about it, it should work for everyone else. this tool will optimize the way applications use your RAM, and it will even clear the RAM that is used even after a program has been closed. so, even if you think this wont work for you, try it anyway. you have nothing to lose and it will most likely work. firstly, grab some sort of memory management/optimization tool. there are free versions, trial versions, and paid versions. i only tested one and it worked 100% for me. the one i used was Systweak CacheBoost there is a fully functional 30-day trial availible Here install the program and start it up. it will automatically do what it needs and u can monitor the usage of your RAM and Cache by double clicking the meter in the taskbar. there are advanced settings for enthusiests, and basic settings for the beginners. now when you fire up your game and load your save, you should see all your textures and everything should be loaded. NOTE: it may run slower than before, so just go into the Settings for CacheBooster and set them to what you want. it may have just been because i only have 1gb of RAM. this program truely fixed my problem and i am almost certain it will fix your too. if it dont, you havnt lost anything. give it a try and let me know if it fixes anything for you! EDIT: here are some more tweaks CacheBoost Tweaks Step 1: http://i37.tinypic.com/4tx15x.png Step 2: http://i38.tinypic.com/2a7bjt1.png Step 3: http://i34.tinypic.com/2lwxh5t.png Step 4: http://i34.tinypic.com/2n9jhur.png or u can always try the free alternative (less resource intensive): http://minimem.kerkia.net/ Edited December 10, 2008 by x_orange90_x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawk52501 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Thanks for this info..have been playing without a hitch for a couple of hours now, fps is still not as high as anticipated but atleast the graphics arent screing up anymore Windows XP Professional X64 SP2 Core2Duo E6750 @2.8ghz 2gigs DDR2-667mhz XFX Geforce 7900GS 256mb PCI-e x16 Creative X-fi Xtremgamer Audio 250GB 7200RPM HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelic Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 i can also confirm this working. This plus some commandline switches got my game going at around 20fps stable. But lets be realistic, 1gb is NOT ENOUGH for this game no matter what optimizer do you install. Specs: Intel c2d 2.1ghz E4400 1gb 800mhz fanless 8600GT 256 576/700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanceLongstiff Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Do you guys know just how cheap ram is nowadays? In the UK, you can get 3 or 4gb of 800mhz DDR2 for the same price as GTA IV, I'm not kidding. If you've got more important stuff to spend your cash on fair enough, but I thought I'd let you know.

ganjam0n Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 people please bare in mind you are not fixing the problem, mearly patching it up with a soggy band aid, the problem with this game and its textures sure seems to be directly related to memory, and how gta is proccessing it. see this post which kind of ties in with this memory issue. http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=381443&st=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cacolukia Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Works, man! It repaired my "after 15-20 minutes lag! I haVE 2 Gigs of RAM. I had the all-known bug that you play 20 minutes with acceptable framerate and after filling the memory resources (with textures maybe) there is a big 1-2 seconds lag and it ruins the missions. The superfetch - off option just crashed my grafics and nothing more and I was forced to turn if on. And now, my man, this program actually repairs the memory leakage. The graphics a grappy like always, but the 2 gigs never fill to the top and I never had these giants 1-2 second cuts when driving at high speeds. THANK YOU MAN! YOU'RE GENETICALLY SUPERIOR, BRO!
