The new 8.12 driver from ati really steadied up things for me, i.e., getting about 10 fps more on average. I forgot to do a benchmark before the upgrade but I was monitoring through fraps. There still seems to be no AA in this game, but i'll try to ramp up the resolution as the game seems to run at the same fps regardless of what resolution you select.

Well, 8.12 completely fuxxx0ring up my system. Some kinda 'incompatible display adapter has been disabled' message
keeps coming up when I reboot, and sure enough, in the Device Manager, one of the 4870X2 adapters has a yellow
triangle with the exclamation mark in it, which denotes a driver problem.

Of course when I switched back to 8.10, no issues whatsoever. Apparently its not just me either. A quick check of the AMD.game forums showed that other X2 users are experiencing the same problem. So I guess I'll wait for 8.13.

• Added Commandline "-notimefix" which will help some users who are experiencing the fast/slow gameplay issue after patch 1 was applied.
• Fixed a bug that caused some users to experience endless looping audio effects after Patch 1 was applied.
• Benchmark was disabling sounds after Patch 1 was applied, this is now fixed.

CRASH FIXES:
• Unable to load game fixed - For some users, a DOS window would open and close immediately upon Game Launch, GTA IV would never launch.
• Hang on Initial Game Loading Screen fixed - Some users experienced Character Art Loading screens in an endless loop.
• Certain causes of the RESC10 error have been fixed (Alt-Tab, change resolution). If you experience an RESC10 error, you must restart.
• Certain Instances of the "GRAND THEFT AUTO IV has encountered a problem and needs to close" error have been fixed.

VIDEO EDITOR:
• Naming clips is now mandatory on Export

MULTIPLAYER:
• Legitimate players being kicked from Multiplayer matches has been fixed.

GENERAL ADDITIONS / FIXES:
• Wireless 360 controllers not functioning - Triggers were full on/off, fixed.
• In the Options menu accessed from the Title Screen a “Game” section has been added with the ability to turn Clip capture on/off.

one thing they failed to mention is that they added an anti-piracy 'bug' in the game, where the player is unable to access the computers at the TW@ internet cafes. as you might know, there's a mission early on in the game that requires Niko to use the computers to find a date. so with this patch installed, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GO ANY FURTHER IN THE STORY. people with legit copies shouldn't have a problem. guess us pirates will have to wait till they bring out a V1.0.2.0 crack before patching.

Sweet , did not actually think they woulda make a performance patch. But i already beat the game , had to use a few improvised fixes for the bugs encountered tho. Btw has anyone tried it and does it help performance?

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #68 on:** January 26, 2009, 02:46:49 AM »

Yip. I myself beat it yesterday morning. None of the fixes there seem to apply to me because I havent experienced any of those problems. WTF @ blocking tw@ internet access,

Pass!

Arcmanov · « **Reply #73 on:** January 26, 2009, 02:35:15 PM »

LOL @ blocking fictional internet access in a game. I know that mission, and thats real early in the game.

Clever Rockstar. Reaaaalllll clever.

woodyear99 · « **Reply #74 on:** January 26, 2009, 02:45:44 PM »

Did they put up a fake error message on the computer screens? lol

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #75 on:** January 26, 2009, 03:21:17 PM »

^^Excellent question. LOL

rassmatic · « **Reply #76 on:** January 26, 2009, 03:41:54 PM »

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #77 on:** January 26, 2009, 04:35:37 PM »

finally, a patch that slighty fixes the fps for me to play it, now that little hiccup in the internet cafe ... sigh... but the game runs good enough now for me to at least buy it original.. still could do with some more fps..lol

Notnice · « **Reply #78 on:** January 26, 2009, 06:36:22 PM »

The patch made things worst for me.

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #79 on:** January 26, 2009, 07:15:25 PM »

serious? well i'm not sure if it's a driver update or something, but game moves alot smoother than before, and this is all settings on high...

i did a test before, carried the res to 800 x 600, and set each graphical setting to its minimum. I got the same fps when i set the game at 1280 x 1024 with all settings on high, and view details etc to card's recommended.

this game, even though a quad core would help, is badly coded. I'm sure that is the echo of many gta4 pc gamers, i hope that they are working on a new patch to help the situation, but right now, my cash stays in my pocket until i see some more fps..lol.
