GTA4 Freezes at unloaded part of maps

[EdwardHeartsU]

Okay guys so recently I've been having problems with GTA4; mostly minor crashing problems concerning mods but now that I've uninstalled all the mods I still notice that my game still crashes when I drive/walk into certain areas of the map. That being said, the part(s) of the map that I crash at is not loaded properly (i.e. rough textures, pixelated and unclear). It's been a realy problem as it hampers my mission completions. I've tried reinstalling the game but it still doesn't seem to work. And before you ask, it is a legitimate copy, but pre-owned.

The mods might not have been uninstalled properly. Have you tried reinstalling the game and deleting all files from the Settings folder?
