[SOLVED] GTA 4 Loading Screen Freeze

[Deerby]

Alright, so I'm on Windows 10 and I downgraded to 1.0.7 for GTA 4 to use some mods. The only ones I installed were Simple Native Trainer and LCPDFR. I didn't like the strange performance problems on 1.0.7 so I uninstalled LCPDFR via the uninstall application, and deleted any remaining ASI loaders and mod dlls from the root of the GTA 4 folder. Then I validated game files to update the game. Everything starts up fine until I hit play, where the loading screen starts, and the time it would normally fade to black and say "Loading ---- *Mission Name*, it instead partially fades to black, and freezes there and I slightly see the character art in the background. If I'm in full screen I have to log off through ctrl+alt+del. I've tried commands related to video memory and I checked through the files for any leftover mod files and I can't get it to work.

[Update] Apparently the update changed how video memory restriction commands work, and entering -availablevidmem 4.0 makes it restrict memory to 4 MB instead of 4 GB, which makes the game unable to run. I had a commandline that I used for 1.0.7 that still had the old settings, which are no longer needed.

The command used to work from 0 to 100 as in how much % it should be able to use
