Re: Gta:iv

Many people have posted (on other sites) how slow the game seems to be, something that worked for me;

If you have a decent system, you just installed the game and the game is running a little laggy then try this.

• Right click the GTAIV Shortcut (not the Rockstar Games Social Club shortcut) - you can find the shortcut in the program files directory if you haven't got one on your desktop.
• Select Properties
• Select Compatibility
• Check 'Disable Visual Themes' and 'Disable Desktop Composition'
• Click Apply and start up the game.

I had an issue with fireworks some time ago and this seemed to work, tried it just now on the game and theres a noticable difference for me. Hope it works for you.

Re: Gta:iv

Only me again, excuse the double post ;

I think I may have found a temporary fox for the MMA10 error. Give it a go!

• Start GTA IV up and skip logging into Social Club.
• When the game is up and running, log into Games for windows (may not have to do that part tho).
• MINIMISE the game using Alt+Tab.
• Attempt to login to Social Network, retry until you have successfully logged in.
• MAXIMISE the game, start gameplay, bring up the mobile phone, select multiplayer and off you go.

HOPE this works for you guys, it did for me!

Re: Gta:iv

Now I don't know much about this Securom program or whatever it is.

But I guess it has something to do with how many times it can be installed?

If so, why not load it to an external hard drive. That way you can just plug and play into any computer?

I'm being serious here, because I'm in he process of looking for a decently priced external hard drive and was thinking about doing this.

Thoughts?

This method will not work since DRM knows all of your systems hardware IDs/Serials, etc. and knows when something has changed, in which you will normally have to reauthenticate.

DRM is not too much of a problem, if you run out of activations, you can normally call the publisher and have them authenticate you or clear the activation, similar to other desktop applications.

Re: Gta:iv

LOL, I read on the GTA forums that people who are running cracked versions of the game have to contend with Nico being constantly drunk

I'm still downloading unfortunately, 80% done.

EDIT: 88% now, damn Virgin Media and their throttling!

Beats DRM anyday? lol.

Re: Gta:iv

lol, well I'm sure the crackers will sort it out soon enough.
And it proves how useless SecuROM is if the game has been cracked already.

Nearly done, hopefully I'll be one of the lucky ones who doesn't have to go through thousands of tweaks to get the game working properly. :)

Re: Gta:iv
