REDUCE GAME LOADING TIME


Recommended Posts

Hi guys. I think ive found a way to make the game load faster. After you press start at the main screen the game loads, sometimes it took 2-3 mins to load.

 

The game now loads in around 30secs for me by doing this -

 

Load into the game to the main menu, click on start and the game will start loading. As soon as the character stills are displayed press the "home" button on the keyboard, it opens the games for windows live console. Just tap the console open and closed and for some reason it makes the game load almost immediently.

 

Hope this helps people out smile.gifsmile.gif

 

Edit:

 

If you can, post if it works or not. Im keen to see how many people it helps smile.gif

Why would it take 2-3minutes to load.

 

god dam defragment your sh*tty harddrive.

Not sure why it took that long. Seemed to me like the game was waiting for another program to do its thing before loading into the game. There would be NO HD ACTIVITY while waiting at the character screens. p.s the hard drive is defragmented and its in raid 0.

yea, I always wondered why we need those screens

there is NO HD activity untilI get the "loading: (whatever mission)

 

seems like there would be a way to to skip them..as it seems like blank filler for nothing.

Try using the -novblank commandline, my game loads miles faster using it.

The reason being is that during the flashscreens etc the FPS jumps to a massive 5000 or over and it wastes resourses trying to screw it back down to 60FPS.

With the -novblank command my game has loaded within two of the flashscreens, without it takes over a minute to load.

Have tired the command line suggestion but didn't make any difference for me. This trick is the only thing that makes the game load faster for me.

Another trick is installing GTAIV on WinXP instead of the f*cking Vista. Game will load in 30 secs or so. Loading times in-game will be shorter too.

Made the move from xp almost 2 years ago now. Both o/s have there flaws I supoose. Not sure these issues are completly related to o/s though, im sure it contributes. Micro$oft didnt make the game, rockstar did.

Nvidia...what you mean to do and how?

The Nvidia Control Panel. If you dont have it you will need to download it. Its pretty simple to use, you can force all types of settings in games. Unfortunately I cant walk you through it as I have an ATI currently. Google may be ur best friend in this circumstance.
