Well as you all maybe know, i bought GTA IV. It can run on my Laptop so i decided to buy it. Here are my specs:

Processor: Intel(R) Code(TM) i3 CPU M350
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Graphic card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470
Memory Graphic card: 2736MB RAM
Screen: 1600x900 32 bit


But, i am having some problems..

My GTA IV lags like shit when driving and walking etc.. I have set everything on the lowest settings but it is still lagging..
Now i heard something with patches, so i tried to install the patch 1.0.7.0, but now GTA IV is not starting at all.. I get the command prompt with GrandtheftautoIV.exe, but it just closes after some seconds, and nothing happens.

Anyone knows a solution on this? I will be really thankfull to you! :)

well that Fact that it is a Laptop can have a big Role itself i had laptop to never get rid of the lag . but i will try to give some advices and tips.

Lets start with the problem that u cant run it

* If u Bought it on steam, uninstall and install again,Dont install the Update 1.0.7.0 it does it itselfs

* Make sure u got social Club Running correct

* Use this client http://files.iv-multiplayer.co.uk/beta/downloads.php?f=IVMP-0.1-Beta-1-T4-R4.zip

* And make sure if u not using steam that u install The Game First then the update and last the client.

* u can try RightClick And Run as Administrator if the Computer Firewall Blocking it somehow

* Alot of People having this Problem so did i but got Solved with the new update patch 1.0.7.0

* If ur using Linux u need the Linux client

* also ur windows can have a big part solving this problem use google.com to read about some know errors

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now To the part Of ur Lag

* First of all the main problem is u playin on laptop since the game wasent even Builded by Rstar crew for Pc only for consoles so i dont think a laptop got big Chance but well ur specs seams great.

*set it to low settings and turn down the draw distance.

*when u are ingame go in display settings turn off 'Hand Brake cam'

*turn off the video capture.

* Disable Vsync

* theese are somethings u can do But as i sated before 'Laptop' =(

*make sure u got ur latest Cpu and Graphic drivers correct intalled

^ Tand. Also, lappy getting quite warm? i3s are very cool but paired with an awful laptop cooling design and a graphics card on the same exhaust it could be overheating. Once it reaches around 85 odd degrees it's normal to see a significant performance decrease.

If the lag only occurs when you try to move around, then try disabling the Windows Event Log service.

A HD 5470 is 10 times (literally ) worse than a GTX 260.
Idiot.
