This is right, they are not added.

Ah, thanks guys - I feel a bit better now.

Hmm, now I'm wondering why not...

Create shortcut, edit the target and add -windowed

haha, its not that bad, i sold off my gaming rig so this laptop is all i have at the moment.

I havent had time to play this yet, will be tweaking with some more settings and freeing up some more room on the hard drive(ahem, nearly 100% completed Fallout 3) should be about to put it to 20fps i hope.

even with 20fps, i'd still kill myself

Regardless of performance issues I STILL LOVE THIS GAME !!! To anyone who's thinking should i or shouldn't I..... Always been a hit and miss with the other GTA games.. For instance Vice City was probably my most played game EVER... Never really got into San Andreas.. Too much driving around between missions.. GTAIV makes away with a lot of the frustrations i had with SA and cuts right to the chase... Highly recommended... Graphically it doesn't run any worse than the old series, its just our expectation have all increased...

Nice to have a break from the haters, amazing game

Running perfect, no glitches

WOW post your spec plz

, i got the game running perfect too but only on:
1024x768:60
4:3
medium
medium
0
1
1
1

(spec below)

i can up those a little bit, but it drops the fps slightly and it looks no better so i find those settings more efficient

Any way to solve this?

Van Diemen · 10 Dec 2008 at 17:38

I can get the game to run at a steady 55-60ish FPS, but I'm faced with the problem of random crashes without any error codes,

I'm loving the game it self, but this not working properly is getting very annoying now, I can live with a few bugs, but this is taking the we-we

Which crash though - was it the zlib20 one I keep getting?

I have this suspicion that the game is constantly de-compressing files on the fly and that it can lose the plot when you're travelling fast. This only seems to happen to me when I'm driving fast.

Just a theory...

Is that the weird reflection bug, you have to have your Mipmap Detail Level slider fully right (High Quality) to fix that, but if its doing that on that setting now, then bugger knows.

1. Kill the cops near the cars, take a car and drive, if you keep waiting more cops appear.
2. Walk into the club with no weapons in hand, listen into the conversation's to find out who the managers are, then start from the back room killing them off using the doorway as cover.

Yea, I think there's only about 10 -15 people in the club and only 5 or 6 attempt to stop/kill you.

Not sure about the bike idea, worth a try tho

, but when i did it I ran out killed 4 or 5 cops in the car park, stole a parked car and drove like a maniac.
