Grand Theft Auto 4

Hey guys, I just installed and ran this on the default settings it gave me, and it ran like a dog and crashed!

I've cranked the settings down quite a bit and performance is better but graphics obviously worse which doesnt seem right as my top spec PC is brand new from OCUK (£1500)

Anyone else having similiar frame rate issues?

What's the spec? Must be good for that price!
 
tbh I think R* can't be bothered too much with pc any more, I mean look @ the release of bully, that was a very very buggy mess, and now GTA IV ported quite badly...

It's a shame because now because it's a ported pos it's going to sell badly, which means they're going to claim pc gaming is dieing which is a self furfilling prophecy :(
 
I own it, don't worry. Any links to forums about this issue? Can't find info on it. Not happy so far!

I wasn't insinuating you "got" it :p Just saying that everyone who has the game one way or another is experiencing the same issues as those who bought it. The last 10 odd pages here talk about the FPS issues. There are on known fixes as of yet.
 
Well, it being dark introduces more lighting objects which in most engines would mean the fps would drop, so you might get away with it. Still, looks gash :(
 
do you think they may of coded it no to work properly until 24hrs after activation, after then its been released all over the world
that way, if u tried to crack it within 24hrs and did you would have a poor performing game ?

just a thought

lets just all wait....get the game if you have it on order.....see what its like yourself instead of reading what other people say..........thats what im doing

looks like they didnt learn from that crappy gta 3 port they did years ago.
I can hounestly say i wont be paying for this crap, but will be trying it just to lol.
Tbh i was never that impressed with this on the consoles i saw it on, very blocky graphics in areas and horrid boring plain grey feel. Also it didnt have the charm the older games had, the silly cartoonish theams.
Nothing came close to vice city.

Not an impossible theory. Pretty sure there was a game where if you downloaded it and used a particular crack made by devs to catch you out, the performance slowly deteriorated. Could just have been my imagination though :D
 
I have this rig:

Ultima OC HD 4870 X2" Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz @ 3.30GHz+ Quad Core DDR2 System

And I'm about to run the game in low to see if it is playable, no I am not kidding. Found other forums and apparently the performance issue is widespread!
