Bogdy_police Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hello, Since I got GTA IV, and installed it, I kept on having this problem; the shadows go crazy especially on buildings. My PC Specs: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ 2.60GHz Memory (RAM): 2.00 GB System Type: 32-bit Operating System ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO (Aprox. Total Memory: 1011 MB) Here's a small picture, hoping you can understand better what's going on: Here's another one: I surrounded on both the "crazy" shadows, with red. I also found a video on YouTube of someone who's got the same PC specs and the same error. Here: I really wish to enjoy this game fully, so please give a hand of help.

mkey82 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) You PC barely meets the specs, I suggest you don't bother yourself with such details. The game doesn't run well on low and that's that. Things you can try: an older patch version, like 1.0.4.0 and some other GPU driver version.

Bogdy_police Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 What do you mean? How can I fix those shadows? Because you're saying that I meet the recommended specs. Almost. Where can I download the 1.0.4.0. patch? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/468894-gta-iv-shadow-problem/#findComment-1060323614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girish Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 What do you mean? How can I fix those shadows? Because you're saying that I meet the recommended specs. Almost. No, he's saying that your system barely meets the minimum requirements. I don't think any patch is going to help. You should not bother with the shadows at all and turn them off instead if you expect to get a better performance out of the game.
