GTA IV picture quality issue

LinusSwagTips
Go to solution Solved by Almercenary,

1.0.4.0 isn't the best patch in terms of stableness.  ICEnhancer is ported to EFLC patch so you could try that, just back it up.  Could also be your newish GPU that it can't handle.  With my 7970 I had to use " -norestrictions -nomemrestrict" ( in launch options)to actually get it to work.

As we all know by now GTA IV  may be thee worst port in history (GFWL, glitches, terrible graphical settings ect.) but this takes it too far i don't know  why my game has started doing this but it makes the game unplayable if anyone has suffered form this problem and fixed it i would appreciate the help!

What GPU are you using?

When i first installed my 780ti It locked the lowest settings and resolution in and would not let me adjust,

 

 the issue for me  was GTA IV does not support more than 2GB of VRAM Natively. 

System: 5930K, MSI X99 SLI PLUS, GTX 780Ti (SLI),  840 EVO, Fractal R4 (Full Custom Loop)  (IP)

Media Server/Perm Folder: i3 4130, CX500, 4 X WD Red 1TB, 60GB Adata SSD for boot, Node 304, ASrock Z87-E ITX, 8GB Kingston Value Ram

Do you have a disc? Or do you have it through Steam?

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
