Hey mates,
I have some issues. Last night I loaded GTA IV up to play and everything loaded as normal except I had to update win Live and restart my pc. After that I loaded the game and everything loaded as fast as normal. But I noticed right off the bat there was a really bad stuttering in the gameplay. What was more odd is that it did not matter if I was in a room by myself in the game or in some really intense high speed chase. Unfortunately I let my friend borrow my other games and I didn't have a way to try anything else. However, I used my old hd to boot from which is what I was using before my vertex that I got a couple of weeks ago and it ran the game flawlessly. That can only lead me to believe that somehow my Vertex is causing this. Does that sound possible?
I tried to re-install nvidia drivers, and got an error saying that couldn't use 32bit installer on 64 bit system or something to that effect. It was (binary type I386). So after googling no solution to that problem other than doing a clean install, I proceed with what I think will be the most straight forward and easy approach.
To be sure, I did a clean install of vista64 on my Vertex. I let Vista do the align as opposed to doing it manually like last time because I was told that it will auto align with vista. I managed to save all of the driver install files in my old hd and plan on using those.
This just doesn't sound right and I hope is not a problem with the vertex. I have never used the trim program, or defragged since I got it but that has only been 2 weeks like I said. Also other programs such as office 07, Word, Media center and player all loaded just as fast as normal.
Last night I uninstalled the nvidia drivers, and gta iv. Re-installed nvidia drivers (latest from website which were newer than ones in my old hd) and installed gta iv. I skipped the live part incase the last update had something to do with it. The nvidia drivers loaded with no prob. Installed the latest patch for the game, but now then the game wouldn't even start and would take years to load. Kept getting fatal error right when the game should have loaded.
Long winded I know and I apologize. I have tried googling my problem and can't find any solution or reason as to why or what could have caused this. The only new hardware recently installed was the vertex. The game ran fine off of my old hd so that is why I think it could be, but I hope it's not, my vertex.
Have any of you vertex owners experienced anything like this before?
Thanks for any help in advance.
btw- I only had time to load vista before work this morning. I don't know if the problem is gone yet and will update when I get home and load all other drivers/games/etc.
