To me, this is how it should have been.

would you mind making a screenshot? The area below the railroad, in front of the first safehouse.

High shadows

Thanks a lot, definitively better. Did you face any performance hits?

Sorry, that was on high shadows. Yes the performance seems worse but the shadows look much better, which makes sense really. I don't see how you can have nice shadows like that and not take a performance hit.

Don't put words in my mouth; I am NOT praising R* in any way. I have been here since day 1 of GTAIV release and I also have/had crappy preformance. Though, after a week I found the sweet spot in my 'configuration' that worked. With each patch I tried new things and tried new 'configurations' that either improved preformance or the visuals of my game.

 

On top of that Boris: sure thing, you don't seem to have read my comment at all and/or only stare blind on the part where I say that I personally do not like most of your 'enhancements/features' that come with your 'mod/tool'.

 

I'm also amazed by the medium shadow quality. They looked f*cking crappy before. Had a quick test of the latest patch and it allows modified content (in singleplayer) without having to use any 'community made' tool. Though I doubt you'll be able to go online (haven't tried this out yet as of yet).

 

It also seems to 'auto configure' to higher settings than before...

When running a benchmark with this patch I get 27FPS (!) instead of 57 after that the game crashes to windows. sad.gif

 

system:

 

core I7

6gig Ram

Ati 4890

Vista X64

 

Perhaps reinstalling the game might help?

Custom mapping for keyboard controles, is broken since the patch. I edited the default keys, to my own key bindings. There were no keys left behind with the message: "???" I want to save my keys, the following message comes up: a critical key is missing. This can't be true. sad.gif I checked everything. I don't use any mods or so. Just installed the last patch over 1.0.0.5.

 

I can't use my own keys right now. whatsthat.gif

Same problem here, Cant change the keys anymore! Very annoying!

 

The phone is still gone, received some text messages though (cant read them ofcourse wink.gif)

fullmetal, you understand all of that and still can't understand where the "hate" is coming from?

 

1. some/most people like to install the game, maybe adjust the auto settings a bit and then play. And that's possible to do with 99% PC games out there. PC games, not shoddy ports.

2. for me personally fiddling for a week to find the sweet spot as you call it is perfectly acceptable. The problem is, that sweet spot changes every bloody day, not even on the weekly basis. Today the game runs great, tomorrow I get loads of stutter.

 

I hope your next argument will not be about the "error on the user end".

Okay, may be you right. I'm stopping development, thanks for opening my eyes.

I certainly hope you're not serious!?! Cause I fully enjoy everything that you've done to the game, I hope you do waaayyyy more!!!

The patch actually uninstalls RGSC. That's just the game launching the front end now. A lot better in my view. as the quote said, no separate applications, it's all done by the LaunchGTAIV.exe.

@grabber: but is not separate

omg savegames gone. I was using Xliveless and while theres no new version, I moved my saves to standart R* savegames folder, but that stupid game cant read it. Its ridiculous because I started my savegames with same GfWL account. suicidal.gif

Reposting because of all the chatter going on so people don't miss the screen shots. These are full screen shots when you click on the image one more time after cllicking the links. To me it is acting alot better though I still get a micro stutter every now and them. It is still allot better now. Enjoy,

 

 

I noticed that I'm floating here though now I look again...........................

I can alt+tab out just fine.. Probably from having the game modded previously, maybe... Just guessing here mind you now.. Performance is fine as well I'll add while I'm at it as you can see in my screen shots my FPS are where they should be for my setup..

Does anyone know if you can already buy the DLC, like, as add-ons (not like the retail versions) right now from GWFL in Europe? Cause the GFWL page only says one release date, the 13th, no seperate dates for NA and EU.

So... they have reworked the shadow system and i can presume that it is nothing like the old (WTF particle?) shadow.
