also try the "commandline.txt"
make a new .TXT and name it " Commandline.txt "
then copy and paste the following into it exactly how it is


-norestriction
-nomemrestrict
-availablevidmem "1.1"
-percentvidmem "100"


put the .txt into the main directory of GTA IV where the GTAIV.exe is found
and then run the game as normal this already should help performance a great deal on any pc

percentvidmem "100"
the 100 is 100% of video memory to be used

availablevidmem "1.1"

the 1.1 is how much video memory can be used
example if it says 1.0 GTA can use the full G/card memory
if you set it at 2.0 GTA will think you have double
ie. if you have a 512mb card and set it 2.0 GTA will think you have 1024mb available
so it is best to set it to 1.1 as setting it to high can slow the game down

the other settings in the file are just to take away the limitations and allow GTA
to use all of the RAM instead of letting windows steal half of it
and the other setting there will allow you to set the graphics in the game
higher than normally allowed
..this is only usefull if you have a super pc but otherwise all the settings
combined will make gta run smoother .....
simply put the Commandline.txt file into your GTA IV main directory

can confirm this works

I dont like this cause it makes some objects invisible and some objects like trees are lower detailed and you cant drive in them and you cant jump from a ramp with car it is lower detailed and you just miss it

For me it says. not enough space on disk, but I have a ton of free space!
Any clue?
