@SyphonPayne , that video you posted does not look very smooth to me-I noticed several times where the game stutters/lags-and in the beginning where you started the mission, it did not show you touching the mission start point-that lagged over. Also, since I saw NO cutscenes for the mission, I take it you have an illegal game? Also, another thing that does not make it believable, is you failed to show your settings in the video...However, since there was so much stuttering/lagging in the video, I can tell you had the settings too high for the specs.? Just a heads up.

What are you talking about? If it's lagging for you, then your comp can't play YouTube vids. There is NO lag in that video, I verified it on several machines. Notice that you are the only one claiming that it is not smooth? As for the "mission start point that lagged over," I assume you are talking about the hotdog stand glitch. Old news buddy, happens a lot. As for no cutscenes, perhaps you've never heard of the left mouse button? Yeah. Clicking that button skips cutscenes. If you look farther into the video, hell half of the video is cutscenes. Did you not see that I was signed into LIVE via GFWL? How many people with illegal copies can do that?

I didn't show the settings because I already stated what my settings are. If you think that my rig can't handle this game, you're either a troll or just ignorant.

Well, it would have been more believable to show the settings, as anyone can post what they want, but unless it is backed up by proof, it is not really believable, imo. Obviously that second part is proven wrong, as a moderator has said otherwise on that one-

You're right, it IS NOT lagging for me, as it is not my video, that was your video of your game...No offence..

QUOTE

Yes, I know you can skip cutscenes, however, when doing a video, it is best to leave it in, so it does not look suspicious and like you edited the contents/video itself...Just a friendly heads up.

QUOTE

As a Certified Law Enforcement Officer, you never can tell/put anything past what people can do now a days, so all options are open until proven otherwise.

That is not a certified glitch, as I have been playing the game on the PS3 and 360 and PC since release, and have never experienced such a glitch-also, it is not in the Pinned topic that covers that kind of stuff, so it is not a glitch-just on your end evidently?

[SyphonPayne]

I already told you, didn't put in the settings because I already said what they were. I said everything maxed out except the sliders. Traffic slider maxed. Anyone who plays GTA IV PC and watches that video can believe it. It's not like I could pass off low settings as high. Hell, next time I get a chance, I'll record a vid of the settings, but really, trolls aren't worth my time, so I may or may not do it.

I don't care how knowledgeable some random moderator claimed you to be, doesn't mean you know everything.

What I'm saying is your YouTube VIDEO PLAYBACK is LAGGING if you're seeing lag. My computers (and everyone else in this thread for that matter) are playing the video without lag.

Best to leave it in? Notice the video is titled GTA IV GAMEPLAY? Not GTA IV CUTSCENES. As I said, at least half of the video is cutscenes, so once again you're wrong and just won't admit it.

More like Certified Troll (then again a lot of cops get the job to troll.)

LEARN TO GOOGLE. You don't even have to type in GTA IV. Just google HOTDOG STAND GLITCH. There will be plenty of GTA IV videos for you to view that have that glitch. Also, for someone that plays Xbox 360, hell in another topic you were claiming that the XBOX LIVE MARKETPLACE is warez. Notsureiftrollorjuststupid.jpg.

But, if you leave out the cutscenes, it makes it look like you altered/edited the video, which kills your credibility.

My video playback is not lagging-My Video card is full HD(1080P)-well, 2 out of 4 are, so that is not a problem...I use all 3 OS's-I have an XP Home and an XP Pro machine, A Vista machine, and a Windows 7 PC, so I have proven that part on every current OS...

Also, for glitches and stuff like it, I don't really consider Youtube videos to be very reliable and accurate sources of info/proof...I trust the Pinned topics here more, as those are Pinned by the Mods/admins for a reason, and that is cause they were proven to be accurate sources of information...

I admit, I am still learning about IV/EFLC, as Most of my knowledge is in the III, VC, SA, LCS, and VCS sections. However, that is called learning-when you have to ask questions to get information...google does not always give you the answer-a lot of times you get a bunch of stuff that does not pertain to what you are looking for...

[SyphonPayne]

Whatever, DOWNLOADING GAMES on XBOX LIVE MARKETPLACE is NOT illegal, and anyone that has played on an Xbox 360 knows that. So where's your proof of your claims? Two can play this game.

It is OBVIOUS that I am skipping the cutscenes by just clicking the mouse. I can't help it you don't know what you're looking at.

You haven't proven anything about anything, just like I haven't proven anything according to you. So we might as well just call it quits.

So you finally admit, you are learning and in fact do not know what you are talking about when it comes to IV. What you're doing is not "learning," it is claiming that I am lying by not "proving" every little mundane detail about everything. I posted the video to show people how it runs on my rig and at what settings I use. I wasn't trying to prove anything. IF you need proof, just click my signature, I can almost guarantee you that my rig is far more powerful than yours, unless you can prove otherwise, and if you can't then it is clear that you do not know what you are talking about, therefore this will be my final response to your trolling.

I'm sorry radioman, but your making yourself look like a fool saying this.
Where did you notice lagg? That video is as smooth as smooth can be

And the scene with Faustin, Roman, Dimitri and Niko is a cutscene and the one with Niko and Roman (in the dumpster --> "Don't be ridiculous, you're being paranoid!" - Niko Bellic) is one too

Why can't you accept the fact that his machine is just so powerful that it can play IV that high?
Sure, it might have lagged one or two times, but that's IV - lagg is inevitable in this game

Ahh... A breath of fresh air... A fellow Sandy Bridge user that knows what he's talking about.

Considering FRAPS takes a lot of horsepower alone, and GTA IV needs an infinite amount, anyone that says it's not smooth is just hatin' . On top of that, YouTube limits the framerate to 30fps. It just doesn't do justice to this rig .

[Exxon]

Haha, indeed!
And Fraps takes quite some horsepower too, yeah

But I'll record some footage of IV running over here tomorrow.
And, especially for you, Radioman, I'll show graphical settings, I won't skip cutsenes and I might even show a picture that proves that my copy is legal

[radioman]

QUOTE

It wasn't the lag, per say, it was the amount of stuttering the game had...I have an Intel I5 and the game very rarely stutters...So, that shows that specs are not everything-lol

I reckon that would depend on the settings used, as I have used Fraps, and with IV and EFLC, I lose maybe 5fps at most..I have NO FPS drops on III, VC, and SA while recording with Fraps...I used those as examples, as they were created by the same company(Rockstar Games)...Just curious.

Yeah well, until you prove anything, I'll just listen to everyone else (except you) that's telling me that it's smooth, just like my own eyes tell me that the video is smooth. Yes, YouTube being limited to 30FPS makes it not look quite as good as it does in person, but everyone (but you) can tell that it is running great, at max settings (except sliders, traffic slider maxed.)

All you have to do is click my signature, and you'll see my rig specs, perfectly capable of running 40-60fps at near-max settings in GTA IV. CPU-Z validation is what people that actually know how to use a computer use to validate their computer specs and prove that they have what they say they have, and to prove that they are running at the frequency they say they are (in my case, 4.3GHz.) So again, perhaps you should learn a little more about it all before trying to tell people that they're lying.

Thanks cornflakes4u . I'm not trying to start an argument/competition here, and this topic has pretty much been derailed by radioman, but I just found it ridiculous that this guy is coming in here and telling me that my game is running poorly and that it's illegal when it's obvious that neither are true. Then he says that a relatively common glitch that occurred in the beginning of my video means that there's something wrong with my system and that it somehow proves that I am running an illegal copy, even though you can see plain as day that it signed into Live and a simple Google search tells you that the hotdog stand glitch happens to a lot of people.

Then he goes on to say that he's not trying to be a know-it-all all the while TELLING me how I should make my video when I never asked for suggestions .

Anyway, I know I shouldn't fall for troll bait, just sometimes I can't help it.

Not sure if OP is still reading this (derailed) thread but he asked me how much a similar build to mine would cost. I'll use more budget-friendly parts than what I have in my machine.

That's great. So you're knowledgeable on GTA VC mods, supposedly. Wonderful. That doesn't automatically mean that you know what you're talking about when it comes to GTA IV or computers. Awesome.

Who cares if they were also created by Rockstar? They're old. You might as well say that you "have NO FPS drops" in GTA1. Yes, on my rig FRAPS has a negligible effect on GTA IV, but my point was it's still quite a feat to be able to record GTA IV at near-max settings without much impact.

What you don't seem to realise is that people make topics here in search of accurate help - not misinformation. You deliver misinformation more often than not and yet constantly feel the need to contradict posts made by people that actually know what they're talking about. It's incredibly frustrating. If you are not sure about something, you should make your own topic about it and stop hijacking threads with your own personal curiosity, because it doesn't help.

Also, I like how you sneakily edited out the last bit of that sentence in an effort to make your advice seem more credible in this section:

QUOTE

Seriously---- Radioman is probably the most knowledgeable member who is active in the VC section....

And for the reference, Fraps makes games stutter on most systems whether you notice it or not (it records into separate 4.18gb parts, so every time it splits a small drop in framerate is almost inevitable i.e. every minute or so at 1080p60). I find it very hard to believe your laptop is capable of filming using Fraps with little to no difference in framerate or smoothness considering it can only just handle the game without it. Even more so when I add that you're probably gaming and filming from the same slow notebook harddrive. So yet again, you're spewing apparent crap because you obviously haven't looked into it close enough/don't properly understand.

People are only rude to you because you (seemingly unintentionally) make it much more difficult to help people out here, and you come off as a know it all.

Also, I like how you sneakily edited out the last bit of that sentence in an effort to make your advice seem more credible in this section: QUOTE Seriously---- Radioman is probably the most knowledgeable member who is active in the VC section....

Radioman, you bastard!

And for the reference, Fraps makes games stutter on most systems whether you notice it or not

You're completely right about that, see my signature?
That's how I play. Just recorded a video of IV and I noticed way more lagg there, as I barely have any lagg when playing.
And then keep in mind, I'm using HD textures, few car mods and RealityIV

Just claiming my topic back again.. for a moment

Eaxxon:

I was just looking at the specs of your PC in your sig, with those setting you've posted is that pretty good?

And how much would such a rig cost, I have a case and a HDD already lol but that's it at the moment lol....

The machine that I have is very powerful and can play this game at those settings with that framerate
Maxing it out (except the night shadows, though those don't really count qua performance at day) gives me about 25 - 35 fps

And where do you come from?
I live in Holland and this rig cost me about €950
So yeah, for that price it's pretty damn good!
