[Solved] Stuck on loading screen after windows 10 update

[Bass]

I upgraded to windows 10 and everything else worked perfectly, except IVMP/GTA IV. I tried everything from commandlines to reinstalling the game, nothing worked.
However, only one thing worked, which is adding "-availablevidmem" in a shortcut.. But that only works on GTA IV and does not work on IVMP.
I suppose it's using onboard graphics.. Forcing nvidia does not work either.

Any ideas?

@Bass already tried with running it in compatibility mode ?

Yeah XP, Vista, 7 and 8, I suppose this isn't a compatibility issue either.

Without the -availablevidmem applied, when I navigate to graphics settings it tells me that I'm using 202 / 27 video memory.. What?

That's weird, looks like also Windows 8.1 had similiar issue, they've a fix for it (I'm not really sure it's gonna work for Windows 10) , try it if you want.

Eh i knew. Looks like someone else on steam support forums has posted for the same issue on Windows 10 @Bass

Solved!

I was messing around with commandline.txt, added "-availablevidmem 70.0" and it just worked.. Apparently for me only 70.0 worked.
