The Horror Is Alive Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I just bought the game impusively on a "f*ck it, might as well" sort of basis. My specs: 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo T9300 4GB RAM 512MB ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3650 I just popped in Disc 2 after exactly 25 minutes of installing the first disc (my HDD is 5400RPM). Another 25 minutes to go, peoples! Wish me the best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geedoo Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 GLHF! Now just download the "No peds,No traffic" mod+carspawner. Then you would get some decent fps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horror Is Alive Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well, now I've got the Live account, I just need the Social Club account I've installed the patch with a manual download, so no problems there. I'll be putting EVERY setting on low first, then posting my benchmark results here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahm3dS Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Good Luck!! I guess u'll get 20-25 fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahm3dS Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 on lowest setting: 30-35 fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron123 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 with my guide you may get extra 10-15 fps, I got my results in sig with them and filmed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horror Is Alive Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 30FPS is good enough for me! Oops, something went wrong with the Live account creation. Oh well. My internet has been shaped in my on-peak time so I'll just wait for off-peak before signing up. Social Club still tracks your stats, right? Anyway, I'm gonna start the game now! *deep breath* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedoo Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 HD video guide made by on how to make the game run smoother; Well, good luck. Lets hope you get atleast 30 fps, should be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlingShotUK Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Defo check out the performance guide which was linked above.. Also, first thing to do is going into the 'Game' option menu and disable clip capture if you aren't ready to play with that yet (well worth it though). It does help smoothness a lot..

Lutra78 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I wonder how high the chances are to play the game without ANY problems, including technical issues, registration and copy protection. I know about a dozen people who play GTA4 on PC personally - and no one was able to say that he had no problems. Personally it took me 3 days to play the game smooth in midrange settings, now I'm really satisfied with it, but that can't be the way it should be, never. So I think the realistic chances are around 5% and that's record breaking. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
