i recently downloaded gta IV off steam (yes the game has been out a long time) but whenever i try to launch grand theft auto IV, i get the error (https://support.steampowered.com/attachment_tickets.php?do=imgpopup&id=2881296), and it will not let me play, i get into rockstar login (https://support.steampowered.com/attachment_tickets.php?do=imgpopup&id=2881300), but no further, i have restarted my computer, and turned it off and back on the error keeps happening. any info would help
pc specs
processor: amd athalon a10
motherboard: asrock fm2a75m-dgs
ram: ripjaw 2x4gb sticks
memory: 1tb western digital and a 250gb from an old computer
no graphics its an a10 processor its integrated
Post real pics, please. Not your steam tickets, lol.
Are you sure thats your GPU? Athlon chips dont come with integrated graphics.
yes i am positive thats my processor i built the computer myself not that long ago
chances are its unsupported hardware as the a10 is brand new and gta 4 struggled to work on known configurations never mind unknown...
if you have a gfx card from an old build i suggest you try it and disable the onchip gpu.
this should convince the game you have a quad core and enough gfx to run the game.
thats not to say the 7760d or what ever is inside the cpu isnt strong enough. it may be its just not being seen by the game as a legitimate gfx output device.
this is an educated guess only because you havent given the error you got. look in your evnt logs in ctrl panel/admin tools, event view. just dig down the apps section till you find the errors for gta 4.
This is the case with my 7950. If a GPU has more than 2GB of ram, it will see it as having none, and wont allow you to play without a modification.
the error reads GTA IV FATAL ERROR: D3D Error - Please re-boot your system
Thats a direct X problem, then.
i do not seeing as the old computer was a 2002 computer
you can try installing/re-installing it
i purchsed it off steam will i be able to do this
Yes, Direct X should show up in your add/remove programs list.
Reinstall Direct X, reinstall .Net frameworks, reinstall Visual C++ redistibutables, etc.
it might be the game rejecting the intergrated graphics. GTA is very picky.
Hey is sli supported on gta iv.
