Textures barely rendering at all

Hey,

So I bought the pack with GTA IV, LaD and BoGT off of steam and when I try running any of them, textures such as buildings and the floor don't load. The only thing I can see is my character, some vehicles and lamp posts. Already tried patching the game with version 1.0.2.0, 1.0.4.0 ( both of which rendered the game unplayable showing a message that Social Club should be running) and 1.0.7.0, this last one returned the game to its original state.

 

My notebook is a LG 5430 with:

-Windows 7 64x

-4GB ram

-Video Card:Intel HD 3000 Graphics

- Processor Intel Core i5-2410M 2.3 GHz

- Memory of 320 GB

 

As far as I'm aware these specs should be more than enough to run the game without any problem, but when I the textures get messed up like I previously mentioned and I am unable to change any graphic settings with the indicator that shows the resource usage says that it's using 202/56 MB available alongside a message that says I should reduce the settings to run the game optimally. It doesn't lag at all but I simply cannot play the game since it's impossible to see what's happening. No mods were installed, again, it's a legitimate copy bought off of steam.

 

I wasn't able to take screenshots so here is another post with images that show a similar problem to mine (especially the last 2 images)

Video Card:Intel HD 3000 Graphics

 

There is your problem..you have an Intel Video card-which is NOT supported by the game...on top of that, it is Integrated-meaning it has Shared vram(shared with the system ram), plus I have yet to see a Intel card have more than 128MB of Dedicated vram(this is what games use)...and IV REQUIRES at LEAST 256MB of Dedicated vram...

 

On top of all that, you have a laptop, which laptop cards are lower power than there desktop counterparts...

 

You cannot even upgrade, as laptop cards cannot be upgraded...

 

Good news is: There is a Liberty City GTA you can play just fine-that is GTA III....Also, VC and SA will run great too...But NOT IV and EFLC ones..

dude, lol i have intel hd graphics 3000 on HP Pavilion G6 and my GTA IV runs smoothly at low and medium settings. It really depends on your processor and ram that does FPS. I had this issue before your best bet is to do a fresh reinstall of game then make a whole new commandline.txt

 

1. Delete all filoes manually from GTA IV main directory

 

2. Open your gta iv install setup and select repair.

 

3. Once reinstalled / repaired create a text document and call it commandline.

 

4. Add the following parameters to your commandline then save it and put it in your main directory.

 

 

 

-width 640 -height 400 -texturequality 2 -shadowquality 0 -waterquality 0 -availablevidmem 100 -percentvidmem 100 -viewdistance 0 -detailquality 0 -novblank -noprecache

  1. Where did you get your game from?

Are you using any mods, cracks or trainers?

Do you have the latest version of the game?

Have you tried re-installing the game?

Have you manually removed games's installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86) or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\) before installing the game again?

Have you tried launching the game in different compatibility modes or as administrator (RMB on games's .exe --> Properties --> Compatibility)?

Have you tried deleting your game's settings file (click here to see how)?

-i just bought it in a small shack, its kinda cheap and has 4 cds

-my gta 4 has no serials so its just cracked in order to play

We can't help you unless you have a legit version of the game. Legal version most likely won't have the problem you having.
