hey folks,
This problem is very unexplainable. Everywhere I go in LC, the buildings and roads and all that dissapere (They eventually pop back up). I'd show you guys some pics, but I can't seem to put them on paint.

help is appreciated.

Where have you got the game from? Do you have any mods installed? Has this bug happened from the beginning or it just happened out of the blue? Try using memrestrict. If that doesn't work, try installing the GTA IV Patch 1.0.7.0.

Also, to save a picture in Paint, simply Print Screen it and then paste it in Paint. I'm not sure but I suppose this is how it works.

Sometimes printscreen drops a black image, you can use fraps or some similar program instead.

If you have your picture on the desktop, go to imgur, click Computer, find, select and click your picture and click then Start upload. Wait until it's uploaded, then the link from the Direct Link filed is copy pasted on the forum between IMG tags to enable it. Like this:

Download this http://www.piriform.com/speccy and start the program. After it finishes collecting the data go to file > publish snapshot and paste the produced link here.

I hope you're not forcing too high settings. You should aim at medium.

Try using memrestrict.

The commandline helped the problem. Thanks. Now is there any way to reduce lagging and stuttering?

That system should run the game decently on medium, however no one can really guarantee a thing like that.

Lower the shadow quality and density settings, those are usually most taxing.
Which command line switches are you using?

The shadows were off. I never saw a shadow density. I'm using nomemrestrict and norestrictions for commandline swiches.

Those commands don't promote game stability. Use memrestrict.

The setting may be night shadows.
