[Topic Ufficiale] Grand Theft Auto IV

due novità: la prima che la patch dovrebbe uscire il 17-18 dicembre..
la seconda che ho trovato un modo per migliorare le performance ma è tutto da testare...

Spoiler:

Ok so here is my clever tweak -

Since even modest graphics cards can run decent texture levels with even 256mb of memory, even a basic machine can run medium textures (possibly even high) with NO peformance hit.
However since the game refuses to let you choose your own settings you have to 'spend' memory to get the medium textures.

This means you have to have less draw distance or lower resolution, which really kills the experience. However i found a cunning way to get medium textures by fiddling the settings.


You need to set the game options initially to medium or high textures, and not worry about resolution and your view distance. Just set them as low as you can so you can spend all your memory on getting the textures as high as your machine will allow.
A 512mb card might be able to get high textures since you can spend over 512... so try it and dont forget to use fraps to check your frame rates before and after.

Now you have the game set at your desired texture level, start a game (making sure to restart GTA 4 if necessary to load new textures) then once in game go to the graphics menu and [Solo gli utenti registrati possono vedere questo collegamento. ] the textures to LOW!

The game will 'refund' you back the memory you spent on textures, but the textures wont revert back until you restart the game. This means you can now increase your resolution to a nice [Solo gli utenti registrati possono vedere questo collegamento. ] level, and then add view distance (i recommend certainly NO LESS than 10 or it really looks screwed up).

If you check with fraps you will see no detectable decrease in frame rate, but you now have decent textures along with your original resolution and view distance combination.

in poche parole:
-fai partire il gioco e metti le texture al massimo, ma tutto il resto al minimo, soprattutto la risoluzione!
-riavvia il gioco
-ora metti le texture so low, aumenta gli altri parametri compresa la risoluzione e gioca senza riavviare

questo dovrebbe liberare la memoria ma la qualità rimane sempre buona. sono un po' scettico e cmq domani proverò. provate anche voi e ditemi...

stay tuned!!
