When you start the game, go into the options it display how much video memory you have to spare.

Since you have 6GB and I don't know for sure which game version you are using, confirm that you even need the command.

The latest version does not require a commandline for over 2GB graphics cards

-norestrictions -nomemrestrict

I'm on 1070 for mods. 202MB have been used out of 123MB. I can't adjust settings.

-norestrictions -nomemrestrict

After you type that in the game will let you change your settings to what ever you want even if u dont have the "Vram" shown. After you change ur settings and cross the "max cap" it will change to the right number.

As you can see, doe its showing me that I only have 3gb or v-ram I have 6 but as you can see, works perfectly fine with those command lines!

Reason why It shows 3 for me is because I am using one other command like

-availablevidmem (how much v-ram you want to allow the game)

if you want the text i have here you go ..

https://puu.sh/BAXKX/3328091171.txt

this you put in the gta iv directory in a text document called ''commandline.txt''

even if you have steam version i recommend doing it this way.

Good Luck

How long have you waited, the game takes ages for me to load, sometimes 1-2 mins I dont know why but that is how it goes.

Try whether Disabling Fullscreen Optimizations gets the game to run - https://steamcommunity.com/app/12210/discussions/0/1696043806571702924/

that didn't help :(

putting -norestructions -nomemrestrict -availablevidmem 30.0 in a commandline fixed the infininate loading screen, but now I can't change graphics settings
