Rashen3695 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) I have been playing single-player max graphics ( everything at Very high ) Running smooth. BUT when i join my brother's server ( LAN ) it lags out when i load in and then kicks me saying " Your computer is running too slow " I can turn the graphics down to off or low and load in and it does the SAME thing. We bought the game for multiplayer ( we bought it from steam last year for 5 $ ) I've seen these problems on other threads like a year back but they never get a solution the thread just closes. Please help System Specs: Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.100427-1636) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Acer System Model: Veriton M410 BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.2GHz Memory: 2048MB RAM Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip type: GeForce 9600 GT DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC Display Memory: 512.0 MB Current Mode: 1440 x 900 (32 bit) (60Hz) Thanks.

mkey82 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Maxed out on a 9600+2.2GHz dual core? OK. This issue used to pop up when some people wanted to play online with guys who had much faster machines (afaik). What kind of PC does your brother use?

Rashen3695 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) I can't get the system specs seeing how his computer is passworded. But i can tell you that he has a dual core 2.6 GHz. He is using a 256mb g-card. OP Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 2gb ram. My and his computer are almost similar except his IS faster because we had a similar problem with Supreme commander:FA and i had to get a special program so i would be able to connect to his game so it wouldn't kick me. Thanks for the help Edited October 26, 2010 by Rashen3695 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkey82 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Not much more I can tell you about, to be honest. I know this stuff happens in such occasions and GFWL IS a piece of crap sorry ass platform. Hopefully someone else with more (some) multiplayer experience can give you some directions.

Kyle F Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) For one, I'd say to both of you, get a better Graphics Card, more RAM (Random Access Memory) and a faster Processor.. Your 2.2GHz just will not cut it. Not even my Dual Core 4600+ 2.4GHz is fast enough to run GTA IV properly...which is why I have a more powerful one now. <<[ System Specifications ]>> Machine Name: HiddenGamer Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Processor (6 CPUs), ~4.0GHz Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula Hard Drive(s): 1.5TB (Internal), 500GB (Internal), 500GB (External) Display: 1280x1024 Memory: 4096MB (4GB) (DDR3 Corsair Dominator) Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 3.5GB Edited October 26, 2010 by ItalianStalion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashen3695 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) Okay. I have seen people running gta 4 multiplayer just fine and their system specs are WAY lower than mine. Also if i create my own multiplayer game then it kicks me for " Your computer is running too slowly " Edited October 26, 2010 by Rashen3695 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle F Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Okay. I have seen people running gta 4 just fine and their system specs are WAY lower than mine. Also if i create my own multiplayer game then it kicks me for " Your computer is running too slowly ( Kicked by admin ) " GTA IV does not say "Kicked by Admin". Unless you joined someone's game and they have the Alexander Blade's Network Kicker. I suggest you and your friend get more RAM, a better Video Card and a new (more powerful CPU). 2.2GHz is not good enough for GTA IV...not even 2.4GHz is good enough, and that's the minimum specification Clock Speed for the game! I am guessing your motherboard is a Socket 939 because of the Dual Core X2 4200+. Upgrade your motherboard to an AM2/AM2+ or AM3. Or if you want Intel, go for the Socket 775 LGA motherboards. Intel Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo's are compatible with 775. Heck, even Intel Pentium's are. (NOTE: For some people Intel Pentium 4 is a heater. It can heat up fairly quickly from my own experience. My dads CPU has hit 110 degrees celcius and still works...and it's at like 70-80'C. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashen3695 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) Okay do you know any way just to play like on lowest settings with each other? Also, Sound problem when i load in loading screen music continues to play and "changing radio" noise plays whenever switching through radio stations, car screeching forever after hitting SPACE. Is there a fix to this problem? Edited October 26, 2010 by Rashen3695 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle F Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) 1. How and where did you get GTA IV from? (I want no lies. If it's purchased OK. If it's a torrent downloaded, then I give no help). This is very suspicious. GTA IV legit copy does not have sound issues. (from my experience anyway) Have you both updated your game to the latest 1.0.7.0 patch? Ifnot, please download the patch from here: http://support.rockstargames.com/help/rock...s/GTAIV_patch_7 EDIT: Also please go to www.SystemRequirementsLab.com and do a System Requirement test. http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/CYRI/intro.aspx Edited October 26, 2010 by ItalianStalion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashen3695 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 From steam about a year ago it was on sale for 10$ I would not steal a Grand Theft Auto game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider-Vice Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 If he says he's running smooth, whatever, let him say what he wants, now this topic is to solve his MULTIPLAYER problem, not his system if SP is okay. It might even be network lag.

Yes, but if he doesn't meet the requirements, he can't play online, can he.... Since his computer is "running to slowly" that indicates either, RAM, CPU or Graphics Card is incapable of running multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashen3695 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the help. Game is running fine thanks to the patch BUT the multiplayer is still messed up Edited October 26, 2010 by Rashen3695 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle F Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks for the help. Game is running fine thanks to the patch BUT the multiplayer is still messed up As I said, best option is to get an upgrade of the CPU and RAM. And perhaps Graphics Card.
