Return of GTA IV textures. Return of GTA IV textures GTA 4 textures with automatic installation
Good day. So I decided to write my first short article with a solution to a problem in GTA 4, which is quite common among users, namely a solution to the problem with “available memory” in the game. It occurs on certain components. Especially often for those who have built-in graphics and a video card. Okay, let's get started.
The essence of the problem is that for some reason the game sees 124MB of memory, as a result of which the game does not have enough space to store objects and the population of the city. As a result, with such a problem, people can observe the following: the game does not start, or it loads endlessly or starts, but without textures and almost without the population of the city. In general, such a “beautiful” picture is observed.
There is a solution to this problem and it is simple. For some reason, there is little information on this topic on the Internet, and if there is, it is very crazy and incorrect. This is the main reason why I created this article, summarizing and testing all the information received
So, to get rid of the problem, create a text document in the folder with the installed game called commandline. You only need to enter one command into it – availablevidmem * . Where * is a number that is selected individually. It is a simple multiplier, like when overclocking a processor. By increasing the multiplier, the processor frequency therefore increases. So it is here. You have 124 MB of memory available in the game settings - use this amount as a starting point. If you need 1 GB, then simply set the multiplier to 8 (-availablevidmem 8). 124*8= 992 MB. That's it. Launch the game and enjoy. Here's a photo after the fix.
Here's a comparison of the first photo and the second. I hope everything is clear here?
By the way, this is what the text document looks like.
There are 2 more interesting commands that you can enter, but they are of no use, and in some moments it gets even worse. They are written into the same text document in any order.
Here they are:
1)-norestrictions
The command removes the memory limit set by the game ITSELF. This parameter is located in the game graphics settings "memory available". The essence of the command is that you can bypass the built-in memory limiter by setting ultra settings even with 500 MB (When your game sees little memory, it does not allow you to set the settings, due to which the available space is exceeded).Sometimes unusual things happen with this command. If you have 124 MB of memory available, there will be no textures, but at high settings I don’t know. I don’t know. The command is completely useless. There is no point in entering it when it is possible to increase the multiplier and it does NOT solve problems with launching and partially with textures.
2)-nomemrestrict
The command removes the memory limit. As a result, the game does not delete the cache during the game, because of this, computers with 4 GB or less may have problems with a lack of RAM. The game will start freezing after 2 hours. This command needs to be erased if you have 4 GB or less of RAM. The impact on productivity is contradictory. With a small amount of RAM (4 GB or less) there will be a negative effect, and with a large amount of RAM 6 GB or more there will be almost no positive effect. So entering this command is also useless. By the way, it also does not solve the problem with startup and textures. Based on monitoring alone, the game consumes as much as 5GB of RAM. With the command disabled, it eats up 3,600MB and friezes with 4GB of RAM disappear.
By the way, my system:
Windows 10 (1607) LTSB
Processor N4200
Video card gt 920MX (GDDR5)
I checked it on other systems as well. The behavior is similar everywhere.
1) The main thing you need to install mods is a program Spark IV (Download/Mirror) or Asi Loader(Download / Mirror)
We'll start the instructions by installing mods using Spark IV
[Your_Disk]GTAIV/pc/models/cdimages/vehicles.img
4) Now we just need to replace the files with those that you downloaded. For example, here's what I have
If we only have one file, then only that one needs to be changed. We have the file turismo.wft in the archive (pay attention to the file extension, don’t confuse it) I only need this one. This is done like this:
- click on turismo.wft in Spark IV
— In the window that appears, look for the file from the archive with the downloaded car
- Let's open it
— Click “Rebuild (a window pops up)
- That's it, close the program. We go into GTA IV and look for the car on which the mod was installed
Replace clothes or skin of a character or weapon, just like cars. The only thing is that you will have to edit other files. For example, for clothes or replacing the main character entirely:
— “...Rockstar Games/ Grand Theft Auto IV/pc/models/cdimages/playerped.rpf"
And to replace a character:
— “...Rockstar Games/GTA IV/pc/models/cdimages/componentpeds.img”
To replace weapons:
- “...Rockstar Games/GTA IV/pc/models/cdimages/weapons.img”
Instructions for installing mods using Asi Loader
1. Copy the file " dsound.dll" to the main game folder
2. Install the .Asi mod in the game folder.
Almost all owners of the game Grand Theft Auto IV there is a problem with textures, all due to the fact that Rockstar Games introduced restrictions on graphics settings, thereby forcing players to buy modern video cards. Since buying video cards is not affordable for everyone, a way was found to get around this problem, with the help file commandline.txt
commandline.txt
To file commandline.txt need to enter
-noprecache
-novblank
-availablevidmem 2
-availablevidmem is exactly the point that makes the game think that you have a larger video card
instead of the value 2, you can substitute another value, the interval from 2 to 7, after these manipulations the game shows me all the textures, the only negative is now I have 15fps, but this is a matter of overclocking, which is worth discussing in the appropriate topic.DimonVideo DimonVideo
Return of GTA IV textures
- Almost all owners of the game Grand Theft Auto IV have a problem with textures, all because Rockstar Games introduced restrictions on graphics settings, thereby forcing players to buy modern video cards. Since not everyone can afford the purchase of video cards, a way was found to get around this problem using a file commandline.txt.This file allows you to unlock graphics settings if you do not have enough memory on your video card and the game prohibits you from moving the slider further, in addition, they say that this file allows you to improve performance and increase FPS (frames per second). But alas, a problem arises: textures disappear (Houses, roads...). A solution was found for GeForce video cards by updating drivers, the same method is available for owners of ATI Radeon video cards, but alas, it does not help everyone.
So, let me begin. I am the owner of GTA IV (patched), a computer with an ATI Radeon X1950Pro video card, an E2140 processor and 2gb of RAM, since playing at low settings does not suit me, and no one has found a way to return textures to me I knew I started look for information.
So, we still need the same file commandline.txt,I tricked the game and made it so that now it considers my video card not 256mb, but 512
To file commandline.txt need to enter
