It telling you how many resources it requires is pretty awesome. More games should do that.Darklord said:
1.5GB GPU? Wow. 1GB cards are fairly rare. More than that is insane.
Haha seriously? Wow, is that cars-covering-street-space-percentage?? Because when I'm blitzing around in LC, the city is very densely populated with cars except in industrial areas..FuKuy said:Try lowering traffic density.... 360 and PS3 versions had density set to 30.

I didn't even know this was out. Will there be mods? If so, a good year complete w/ patches etc. will do this port justice.
No!infinityBCRT said:It telling you how many resources it requires is pretty awesome. More games should do that.
Don't listen to this man. There were some awesome car mods for all 3D GTAs.Dabanton said:Most of the mods with the exception of MTA and SA:MP were appalling.
so don't expect much on that front.
Personally I'll be waiting for when they manage to get 100+ players in the MP mode.

True.Dabanton said:Which were rubbish.
I assume theres no demo either? So they'll probably see an even larger number of people downloading the game than usual to see how it runs.Lich_King said:And then they will blame piracy for sales...

FPS gained (1280x1024):
Low: 40-60 FPS, no drops at all
Highest: 15-25 FPS, not really playable. It may seem smooth in the video, but it was really hard to play.

Windows XP SP3
Core 2 Duo 8400 @ 3.0GHz
3.25GB RAM
Radeon HD4870 1GB

Just recalling some quotes from the GTAIV PC announcement thread.. :lol

can one of you guys that already have the game (and are using a decent rig) try these settings:

Did they? This is an interesting twist.HurricaneJesus said:Is this all from pirated copies, or do some of you actually own the game?
R* said that pirated copies would not run properly. I still expect it to get hacked, but it could be the cause of this.

oh ok, I guess there's another thread?Zenith said:the people who posted the first screens and news of poor performance also posted photos of themselves with the game.

What a dick move. I love it.HurricaneJesus said:R* said that pirated copies would not run properly. I still expect it to get hacked, but it could be the cause of this.
Dear lord, I hope not. They tried to do this for Titan Quest and it backfired.HurricaneJesus said:Is this all from pirated copies, or do some of you actually own the game?

Rockstar also warned that pirated versions would not function properly:
Aside from the fact that warez are a great place to pick up a Trojan or key logger, using a cracked copy of GTA IV PC will result in varying changes to the game experience. These can range from comical to game-progress-halting changes.
I'm still weary of buying Titan Quest because people saying it's a buggy shitfest still lingers in the back of my head.Fragamemnon said:This is like the worst idea ever. Crippling the performance in a game this way just makes sure that your game gets flamed by the "hardware enthusiast" crowd and is labeled as "unoptimized" or is a "terrible port" at internet speed, scaring away the other actual gamers who would buy your game.
Titan Quest did this and Ironlore specifically mentioned that it was a very, very bad decision in retrospect.
