Any ideas how well GTAIV will run on my system?
I've got a Phenom II X4 955 clocked at 3.6ghz, 4gb DDR2 800mhz and a radeon hd4850.
Ill be playing at 1680x1050.

well congrats
GTA IV: i just want to be able to play it. I know its not going to look really pretty or run at constant 60fps or whatever. But if i am able to play through the game at "steady" 30 with not-GODAWFUL graphics, im ok. I know ill get pop-up textures and shit, its ok.
I think I should be fine with GTA, looked on the 'tube and it seems an overclocked E8500 can run it on max settings at nice speeds, so medium should be ok I guess.
Are there any performance tweaks for GTA IV? That don't sacrifice looks that is, like for Crysis, some actually made the game look better while still giving you better framerates.

Hey guys, do you think a Macbook Pro 13" 2.2 GHZ can run GTA IV with 2 GB of ram and a Nvidia 9400M?

Yeah I always miss these GTAIV sales too because I LIVE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FUCKING WORLD.
At least leave that shit up for 12 or so hours ffs. Some people are sleeping when it goes on sale

My first attempt at making a terrible video. Web quality isn't that good (couldn't upload 720P or 1080P vids), but its pretty cool you can take videos in the first place and upload them. Up to 10 minutes as well. GTA4 isn't all full of brown...there is a lot of it but it also depends on where you are and what time it is. This is a night time view near Chinatown.

That's right after starting Playboy's Union mission.Mrbob said:
That's where I am.Well, except I stole a helicopter near the mission site, and got off at Happiness Island, and just out of nowhere, it went up to seven (edit: woops, it's actually six) stars, so now I've been trying to get away from them for like ten minutes but I can't outrun the helicopters or respawning army boats. ...I did get an achievement, though.

Sigh, saw Max Payne 2 on the frontpage for 2,50, clicked it, it was back to 10,00. Just too late.

The hell.....? Steam is telling me I've been playing GTA IV for 55 hours. I've probably been playing it for about 8. Weird.

I have almost that same setup (Dual Core w/9800gt) and the game runs fine.lutheran said:

So i'm an idiot, bought Dirt 2 and am really liking it so far. I also bought Dirt 1 without reading "Notice: Does not support Windows 7". Not sure why a 3 year old game doesn't support Win 7 but i guess i just wasted my money on that cause i don't see myself going down in Windows versions and i don't see Codemasters attempting to add support in the near future.

Pretty sure the game works fine, have you tried launching it?
Yeah, it was just something to do with Starforce and Codemasters removed it - http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1034763

You will be missing out on some phenomenal tracks if you skip Dirt 1. Honestly, so far I have felt kind of let down by the tracks in Dirt 2 compared to Dirt 1.

Dirt 1 works perfectly fine on Windows 7. I have fully completed the championship or whatever it's called on a Win7 install.

That sounds crazy...I'll have to go hit up the helipad!

Dirt works in Win 7 but if you have an 8 core cpu it will crash when you try to start a race.
To get around that you have to go to:
~~/steam/steamapps/common/dirt/system
and open "hardware_settings_restrictions.xml"
Then change "workermap8core" to "workermap4core"
then it will work.

Yes. It has some fantastic tracks. Quite a few that are better than anything in Dirt 2. And play it first so you don't miss the rewind feature.

Thanks for the info on Dirt 1 and Win 7. I haven't tried to launch it cause i just figured it didn't work. I'll actually play it now.

speculawyer is right, I looked it up. Now I realize why it was just out of nowhere. I must have gone into the last island's water territory. I could have kept going, but the boat was getting me nowhere, so I went looking for a helicopter... I was screwed as soon as I got on land. :lolspeculawyer said:

Nope, Just Cause 2 was £27 at pre-order, now £30.
Bioshock 2 was £27 with a copy of Bioshock at pre-order, or you could do the 4 pack which worked out at £22 each. Plus you could gift Bioshock if you already had it. It's now £40 as 2K are insane.

Saints Row 2 runs way crappier than GTAIV on the PC. I can't get more than 5fps out in the open in that game with normal settings, but I can at least get 20-30 in GTAIV.

Haven't played GTA4 on consoles much, so I don't know how compareable it is, but it seems to run well on my system
AMD Phenom 2 x3
ATI Radeon HD 4830 512 mb
4 gb RAM
Windows 7
I picked up Vice City and San Andreas. I was annoyed that they had Vice City on sale before I found out about the classics pack, otherwise I could have picked up GTA3, VC, and SA for the price I paid for just VC and SA. Still, I have so much GTA to play now that I doubt I'll miss it and I am enjoying Bully more than any of them.

Bully is a hoot. You gotta lock that Vsync or the tearing is terrible. The load times are awesome compared to the 360 version. And you really need a 360 controller to play it . . . the keyboard commands suck.Diomedeskun said:
I need a better system though, I'm playing on a laptop.

I've been playing Bully too (for the first time), and I'm enjoying it. Just beat Chapter 1 and started messing around in the city. I beat the crap out of the Boxing Club and then took some chick to the carnival.

Yeah I want ", and occasional DRM FAIL" added to the title somehow.
I am also getting some error saying it can't connect to the key server on Fuel.
I WANNA PLAY MY GAME DAMNAMIT!
