Recommended Posts

Hello gtaforums community.

 

I recently upgraded to windows 7 64bit from vists 32bit, so i could use all 8gb ram. But, gta ran perficly fine before, but now it is lagging terribly and even the loading screen is lagging

 

Yes it is retail not illegaly downloaded

 

Specs:

 

Intel Core Xeon (4 cores, 8 when hyper threded) @ 3.7Ghz

8GB Corsair Dominator RAM

1.5GB Asus Direct CUII GTX 580

 

i can max out crysis 2 amazngly so this was strange.

 

What i have tried:

 

I have treid the commandline.txt and then changed the limit

I have tried turning of Windows Event Log

I have tried setting evrything to low

 

 

Nothing worked.

 

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Did you overclock? 3.7 Ghz seems a little high for a stock speed

GTA IV might not think it's stable. I ran into some issue overclocking as well. Remove the overclock and see what happens

Yeah, another thought came to mind - how much time has it passed since you played the game for the last time without any problems? It may be possible that due to overclock some components have started to give in.

I just dont think it could be that. it worked fine before when i had windows vista, even with the overclock. I have un overclocked the graphics card and that didnt help. Ill give the cpu a go tomorow when i have a bit more time.

 

thanks for the help

PacketOverload_x64bit

When you load from your savegame and you're standing inside your apartment, press ESC, go to options, change water quality to something "other" than what it is set to i.e.: Currently Set to High > Set it to "Very High" or "Medium"

The point the mkey is trying to make is that after overclocking, your parts might have started to wear down. It might have worn down to the point where your parts start to underperform. When troubleshooting, you need to use the process of elimination. Right now, we are trying to eliminate system instability as a cause, and we can only do that if you just try it out.

 

Another thing to try is to turn off hyperthreading. Some games don't like it when it's enabled
