i repost/update this topic so everyone else can see my problem so please help me, i really need to fix this. asap.
i don't know if this a texture problem or graphical problem, but i really need to get rid of it.
i don't think the hd3200 graphic is a cause of this and i've updated the game and the driver itself.

so here is the problem. (screenshots)









the thing that helps me a little is i turn the definition option to OFF. it makes the problem less appeared.
as you can see the effects on the game are completely noised and transparent. i don't know why.

i know if its don't get fixed, i will stop playing of course. (seriously)

please let me know if you can help me with it.

gc drivers? i really don't know whats that for.

driver is the program that makes your hardware works . try to find which operating system is yours . then download appropriate driver here

i've updated all the things but its still there, and i've tried to change the options and put a visualIV mod on it but it didn't work.
is there any other solution for this ?

if you have mods installed , with Open IV rebuild all the img files in east folder in GTAIV/pc/data/map . also post all your specs

i don't have any mods installed i think, but the VisualIV is just a "performance fix" for the game.
i kinda hate modding on this game because it makes my pc laggy.

my specs is:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
AMD Turion x2 64 dual-core mobile processors
3gb of ram
Ati Radeon HD 3200 graphics (256mb, directx 11 installed, 1366x768 display)

i think your GC 256 Mo are the problem bud

seriously? i thought it was a missing textures or something else because other gamers with 256mb gc didn't have this problem.
i'm using patch 1.0.7.0 by the way, and i really hope this problem will be solved.

try with all settings on minimum , if it doesn't work then it's the card

Since you are on a laptop, there really is nothing you can do besides putting ALL settings(and resolution) at bare minimum and keeping the drivers up to date, as laptop cards cannot be upgraded since they are soldered in...Plus, being on a lower-end Dual Core processor doesn't make things to much better there...also, 3GB Ram is not really enough for gaming, as Windows 7 32-bit uses around 1.2GB to 1.4GB for the OS itself(meaning not much left for games)..I don't have my Windows 7 32-bit machine anymore, as I gave it to my girlfriend, but Here is proof on a Vista system.. with the same amount of Ram and about the same processor...and as you can see it uses around 1.4GB Ram without any open programs(7 uses around the same amount of RAM-as the 64-bit version uses about 2.14 GB of RAM as seen here...without any open programs(I have 6GB Ram on my 64-bit 7 laptop)....

oh well, i guess i need to buy a new laptop though, maybe next month.
it has an ati radeon hd7670m with amd quadcore a6 processor. its asus by the way.
my laptop is really old though, the model is released in 2009 i think. its really old.

Well, IF you had a 64-bit OS and more RAM(that is where the 64-bit OS comes in, for the Ram support over 4GB), you could use the memrestrict commandline to force the game to use some system ram as vram to increase performance a little bit(works great for me)...but, seeing how you only have 3GB, that would not work for you right now, as the game needs at least 2GB Ram to run(for Windows Vista and 7 according to the system requirements)...

That would be a fairly cheap work around for now, until you can get a better system...Plus, IF you installed Windows 7 yourself(and judging by the specs, I take it your PC originally came with either XP OR Vista and you upgraded?)-If so, you should have the install disc still for the OS, so you can just do a clean install and install the 64-bit OS instead of the 32-bit...I know the disc comes with the option for 32-bit OR 64-bit installs, as on my old Vista laptop I got the free Windows 7 update when it came out(thanks to the promotion HP had going on at the time), and it asked me which one I wanted to install-I only chose the 32-bit version cause it didn't require a clean install meaning I was able to keep my settings and files in tact still..."food for thought" lol

okay, my system are Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit and its eat about 1gb+ (on the task manager) it kinda surprised me though.
no programs or other opened but it still eat my memory. and also the memstrict part, is it "-nomemrestrict"?
and also does this problem depends on my graphics card / processors or what?
