KillaXxX Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 have 2gb dd2 u mean like -norestrictions -nomemrestrict -minspecaudio -novblank -viewdistance 40 -detailquality 40 -shadowdensity 5 -renderquality 1 -texturequality 1.... yup those commands i have 3 gb ram and this is my config: "D:\Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\LaunchGTAIV.exe" - norestriction -nomemrestrict -texturequality 2 -renderquality 4 -detailquality 30 -viewdistance 20 -shadowdensity 8 -width 1024 -height 768 -novblank you can try that if you want but you do have less ram than i do i also use cache boost program it deletes the cache system memory giving me more memory for gaming and such also up your virtual memory to the double amount of what you have clean up all your desktop shortcuts that you are not using , disable any programs that run on your background that you don't need while gaming , clean up your registry also , thats what i did to keep my system running great its a bit of trial and error but if you do some good maintenance on your system and if you notice that after all this the game still runs bad add another ram to your system also take into consideration what type of cpu you have if its good enough to run this crappy port or not.

alok1511 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 the game works fine. no issues with graphics, but the fps has dropped considerably. earlier when i tried to play the game without installing the update and on auto-config, the game was running better. now it has lots of lags (still haven't installed the update). any way of uninstalling the update? coz everytime i've tried the update, the graphics starts giving me the same problems. i will try the game first w/o the update and in normal mode with graphics set on high and then with update. will keep you posted. do lemme know if you get any solutions..
