Title: IV:MP Textures and models not loading
Post by: Leon_Mokomaki on January 26, 2011, 06:53:33 pm: Yeah so in IV:MP When i turn the camera all the textures take forever to load and when im driving the road and buildings dont appear (Sometimes not at all)
Not using any mods.

But when i play the normal single player all the textures and models load instantly
And lowering the settings doesnt help

Athlon II x4 @ 3.1ghz
2GB 1333mhz RAM
9600 GT 512mb @ 1680x1050
Windows XP SP3

Post by: Neave on January 26, 2011, 08:48:19 pm: if youre driving faster than the texctures load, then its a problem with your hard drive speed, usable RAM, usable GPU power, or usable CPU power. or its all 4.

best way to fix that is to drop the view distance/generally lower all graphic settings a little bit.

And the dude saying. "turn down your resolution its bareley noticable"..
You think id use 1024x864 or something on a 22" monitor? Thats bullshit. I mean thanks for trying to help but dont give bad advice.

What does that command line do exactly?
Because after adding it, look at my Resources Available. Which was previously 495Mb
(http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq59/crayzie/P1276611.jpg)

And Leon, I have the exact same graphics card, this is how I have my settings, seems to work perfectly fine.
And heres my commandline settings.
Code: [Select]
-memrestrict 314572800 -noprecache -availablevidmem 5.0
That last line "-availablevidmem 5.0" is what Niko said, after adding it, for some reason I have a massive increase in Resources which before was 495MB like yours.

Post by: Leon_Mokomaki on January 27, 2011, 02:00:47 pm: That doesnt even help man. 495 = The 512mb availible video memory on your graphics card.
All the command does is takes off the restriction on GTA IV so that you can overload your graphics card which is pretty bad.

Post by: Leon_Mokomaki on January 27, 2011, 02:06:52 pm: Only reason your PC runs on higher settings is because 1440x900 has so many less pixels than 1680x1050
Title: Re: IV:MP Textures and models not loading
Post by: Norrage on January 27, 2011, 02:56:27 pm: Leon my resolution is 1600x900 and i play on 1024x864.. Else i lag like shit.

Your GPU and RAM is getting out-dated..processor might last fine for 1-2 years. :razz:

It does increase the resources.. although it doesn't increase performance, it kinda tricks your computer (or game) into thinking you have more memory than you do, worked for me when I had the same problem as Leon. (Note : I have Intel HD Graphics ((64MB)), and I made it go to about 360MB, which made the computer load more.) But, it's not the safest way, so if you're gonna use it, don't use more memory than what you initially had.

BTW, -memrestrict sometimes causes the problem that Leon has. And -noprecache... well noprecache is a charm :D

Post by: Neave on February 03, 2011, 08:24:59 pm: just for the record, your PC is not top of the line as much as you imply it is.
two years ago, it was mid-range for a game like GTA 4.

never thought i'd lock a topic over on this thread for provoking/rudeness..

Leon, you're on a free forum. and whatever help you receive, be thankful for. and don't call peoples advice "bullshit" and think adding a little smiley will make it ok.

dont criticize those who are trying to help. and mind your language.
