I was looking forward to play new GTA 4 over Xmas. Brutal Balkan (Niko Beli\u0107) in New York<\/a>. Sounds like an interesting plot. :) And as it happens I have new reasonably priced laptop<\/a> at home with Nvidia 8400M GS and dual core 2.4 GHz cpu on which I just successfully finished playing awesome Fallout 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n To make long story short – GTA 4 PC port is BIG FAIL! I don’t care about Social Club or MS Live addons or SecuROM DRM which forces you to keep DVD in drive all the time… I care about not being able to play it at all. When game producers start producing games for future generations of PCs<\/em><\/strong> and they don’t implement any optimizations – you know that things in PC gaming world have gone horrible wrong. Initial GTA 4 minimum system requirements were looking good. But then, somewhere in between… R* decided to change requirements on the fly.<\/p>\n “Most users using current PC hardware as of December 2008 are advised to use medium graphics settings. Higher settings are provided for future generations of PCs with higher specifications than are currently widely available.”<\/em> – from Rockstars GTA 4 gfx setting guide<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I spent whole weekend trying to get the game running on my reasonably priced laptop and after I heard that my colleague with high end gaming rig had similar problems I decided to post something and maybe help somebody else (w\/ Nvidia and Vista).<\/p>\n GTA 4 Missing textures bug:<\/p>\n Slow performance on high end configurations, cannot change gfx setting:<\/p>\n That’s it. Have to find something else to do over the holidays. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was looking forward to play new GTA 4 over Xmas.
