GTA 4 Help

[Nick]

Heya,

I got GTA IV just after Christmas and i planned to play it on the computer that i am using now, but i installed it around Christmas time and it is so laggy, most likely because of the RAM and the Graphics Card. Anyway my parents brought a new desktop for themselves, so they put the old laptop in the spare room so after about 6 months i pulled out gta 4 out to play it on that laptop which runs vista. I installed it but when i finish the installation, i will click on the icon and it tells me to launch the rockstar social club, so i click launch and it doesn't launch.. but it works fine on my Windows 7 computer.. any ideas?

Eugh I had/have this exact problem. Even if I try signing up it won't let me get past the rosckstar social pages and I have to play san andreas instead :'(

If anyone could help that'd be great ;)

Happened to me too. If you google this you'll notice loads of people having this problem. It was ported over to the pc badly. So unless you have a high end computer or don't mind playing on the lowest settings (even with the lowest settings, frames skip for me) you're ******.

ahah, i was playing it on my mum and dads desktop with 8 gb n still skipped :l

See man, I actually contacted rockstar and was complaining. On the box it says the requirements and my computer are higher than those requirements yet it still ***** up. Pretty sure they can get in trouble for telling you 'you need these specs' then you buy the game and it doesn't work.. not even playable

8GB Ram means nothing im on 16gb but i could still skip if i had a ****** GFX Card.
Best option is to get a better GFX Card.
