GTA IV for PC (official)

Well if it's worth anything I've scoured the web and read countless stories, replies, and comments stating that the game runs poorly. I've only come across a couple of thread posts stating that the game runs well. Anyway, I hope Rockstar is working on a patch.

Yeah but still doesn't prove anything, happens with almost every game out there, a slew of people having bad performance - This just suffers from it to a bigger extend, but who are we to tell the statement "Small numbers" is incorrect?

And how many exactly would post on the forums the game is running great? Classic example of the unsatisfied people having a louder voice than the satisfied people.

Not saying there isn't any problems with the game, even Rockstar acknowledges it but a few people on some forums is no way a solid statistic when you are missing 10 other pieces of the puzzle.

people dont have to just use the forums, there are tech support numbers when i spoke with R* yesterday in the UK i was on hold for a good 20 mins and when i spoke to the guy they where swamped with calls, just because it runs fine for you it all well and good, but for the rest of us, we feel like we are being taken for a ride.

Well mine runs ok to be honest, I run it at 1360 768 on medium detail and high render quality. Not sure what fps im getting but it is definitely smooth enough. It could run much better though, and I don't think it currently looks better than the console versions. I'm glad that Rockstar have acknowledged the problem and are working on it. Im sure that with a patch from Rockstar and new drivers from ATI/Nvidia we will see this game running much better.

True, but think of it this way: What are the chances that all those people, with varying degrees of hardware and software, are experiencing issues with GTA IV? I'm not saying that there are 'X' number of people experiencing problems. It's the fact that issues are coming up across the board, regardless of what hardware you use.

Anyway, I recently ran the benchmark and got 22.05 fps. In my mind, that's absolutely pathetic with the hardware I have. Seriously, how the hell can a Core2Duo E6750 and HD 4870 pull 22 fps @ 1680x1050 in GTA IV? It doesn't make any sense to me. :/

well ive just been on the phone to R* for the past 40 mins troubleshooting and the guy who i spoke with confirmed my system 'should' be able to play this game at around 40fps, we spent 40 mins testing various items and ways but whatever setting i was running it was always around 20-22fps.

It's frustrating, I tell ya. The most we can do now is wait for a patch and enjoy the game as it is right now. I won't play any of the missions until Rockstar fixes the performance issues. I want to enjoy the game at its best.

i was playing for 2 hours or so, doing missions and then out of nowhere it crashes with error resc10

I got a blue screen of death after playing for couple of hours...

Hmm, this game is fun but needs some serious bug polishing.

To play at my native resolution (1650x1050), I literally have to turned down everything to it's lowest setting. That is ridiculous...

Oh god I was hoping to play with my 2400XT.

Yikes! I hope that doesn't happen to me.

Don't you mean 1680x1050? :p I hear you though. I had to turn down some settings too.

Oh god I was hoping to play with my 2400XT.

Don't even dream about it. I get 31 fps @ 1680x1050 with an HD 4870.

I believe this has been mentioned before but hitting 'p' enables some sort of filter. It adds motion blur and a pseudo-depth of field effect (i.e. background blurring).

ReSC10 = Out of video memory

To anyone getting the error its not your fault, im getting the same crash even with a 2GB 4870x2, the game is broken.

Um...Is There The Slightest Chance That HD3450 Will Be Able To Run This Game At All?

Running the game at 1280*1024, medium detail settings. FPS at 43.

Specs: Intel E6750, 2GB RAM, 8800GT 512MB
