(yes, its pathetic, you think I dont know? I dont need anyone bitching to me about how poor I am, thanks.)
So, my computer is telling me that it is a MIRACLE if I get GTAiv running, ofcourse, me, a stubborn guy, decided to push the limits by screwing around with it as much as possible until I got an end product that I could play. This involved a commandline, a few tweaks involving Windows stuff, and you know, all that. Ofcourse, something HAD to have gone wrong, and it wasnt good. First, the game launched, then loaded through the character slideshow, but got stuck on the safehouse loading at the beginning. The loading bar starts going REALLY fast and in a beat with no bumps or skips to show loading. Eventually after that it crashed. I fixed that. Then, I launched it, and thought I had taken a huge step forward after GTA being broken for some time. In the meantime of me tweaking to launch GTA, I had accidently totally undid ALL the tweaks allowing me to play smoothly, so I couldnt even walk. Had to end that session and work from there. I decided to delete the Police mod I had installed, as well as the Carpack, they were both fairly large mods. That made it so that the game crashed before the first main menu, after the R's go through, its the "GTAIV.exe is not responding" everytime. I realized I was only on Patch 1.0.3.0 and Rockstar Games™ was all the way up to Patch 1.0.7.0. So I installed the Crack and Patch to fix it up, Razor1911. Of course, still broken. Now I have just decided that I hate dealing with this game and to reinstall it. So, I will start fresh, I will add graphics tweaks as my system is ridiculously slow. Then, install the new Patch then get it started.
On another note, this happened earlier, and I figured out it was a shortage of vram but I will explain. I was playing the game for a few months and one time after I joined (I believe I was screwing with mods) there was a HUGE textures and rendering error... everything had NO texture and everything from... lets say 5' away was invisible... except lights. That is what made me go on this buttsecks rampage and almost kill myself.
You have gotten far, time for the questions!
First off, what is there to do to make GTA go faster?
I have the launch options on Steam set to "-safemode -height 600 -width 800" so it runs a bit faster, but is changing the GTA launch options the same as adding commandline.txt?
Secondly, will reinstalling it totally clean up and delete all unnecessary files, leaving me with a fresh start?
Thank you, ANY TIPS, ARTICLES, PICTURES, ADVICE would be SO helpful. Thanks Fearless.
