Better City Textures Lag

[Toni_Ryan]

Hello everyone! First post in this huge, and I mean HUGE, forum. Anyways, I'm having a little trouble with the Better City Textures Mod. Yeah, yeah I know its 7GB and all...you need alot of VRAM but anyways, the startup is alright until I start the game and you know, the artist renders show up, then it says "Loading...Photo Shoot" or for me, "Loading...Story Complete". Yeah, yeah I GET STUCK HERE . Literally, stuck here. I read on a post somewhere which says to turn off VSync cos it sorta frees VRAM. All it did was this: When the Loading thing is shown in the bottom right, some light flashes across the words. Yeah the only thing turning off VSync did was making that light go faster . Like 0.5 seconds for one flash of light to go all the way across. I have GTA IV 1.0.7.0, ENB 0.081 SORA, Visual IV 1.7.1 and Realizm IV 6.2 installed. These are my specs:

 

Screen res: 1024x768 (60 Hz)

Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz with 320GB HDD

2GB RAM

Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT with 1267MB VRAM

DirectX 11

 

My Game settings are medium-high And i usually get a steady 35-48 FPS.

Please help!

Ill give 16 for help !

upgrade to windows 7 ulimate 32 bit

That has nothing to do with the lag.

 

 

The problem is your processor upgrade to an i7 to get the best gaming performance,ram you need 4 GB and OS you need to upgrade to 64 bit for it to use them because 32 bit only uses 2 GB my friend not sure about video card since im not an Nvidia guy.

 

you can check my specs on my sig this pc i use plays IV without lag.

I don't think my PC is the problem cos when the problem starts (which it ALWAYS does), I can quit the game without lag. I can press Ctrl + Alt + Del and quit it without freezing.
