GTA 4 NOT LOADING TEXTURES HELP

[Adrenaline_Junkie]

the game has worked fine on my old pc. I am using an alienware laptop which runs gta 5 high settings no problem. I wanted to play this old game, entered the 2 lines (-nomemrestrict -norestrictions) to bypass gta 4 2gb vram issue. But when i load the game everything is fine, then driiving down the street, things just stop loading, no buildings, blurry road texture, etc. Is there a fix to this?

Update.
(shown in video at end) In the graphics settings, it still shows that im using more memory then there is available,(displays in red instead of green) i turned the texture back to medium and things are loading. So i guess i have to figure out how to turn off the memory restriction. I did enter the norestriction lines but they are not helping for some reason.

The latest patch (from late 2016) made this workaround redundant, the game should now recognize the GPU's available VRAM correctly. So, if you did not downgrade the game from the latest patch, try it without these commandlines.

i downloaded the game few nights ago which was the most updated. but it didnt recognize my gpu properly and for some reason i was limited to 512 resource. I noticed that turning on shadow settings causes this.

I have the exact same issue. Have you somehow fixed it?

Add to commandline.txt line

-availablevidmem {N}

To find the exact number N run dxdiag and look for the "Display Memory" on Display tab
