I will test once again if it freezes again I have to test some other version. Any ideas which? 180.70? |
Clean your drivers it helps. 
 Spoiler: | Easiest method below.
D/L Driver Cleaner Pro or Driver Sweeper and install it.
1) R/Click My Computer
2) Select Manage> Device Manager
3) Expand Display Adapter> R/Click NVIDIA GeForce xxxx/ATI Radeon xxxx
4) Select Uninstall> Confirm Device Removal> OK
5) Restart Computer
6) Enter Safe Mode..Tap F8 during Post
7) Once in Safe Mode> Run Driver Cleaner Pro or Driver Sweeper > Select nVidia (not nForceChipset/For ATI select ATI, ATI CCC, ATI WMD)> start Cleaning
 Do step 7 Twice with Driver Cleaner Pro - With Driver Sweeper do it once.
9) Restart Computer> Cancel out of New Found Hardware Wizard
10) Navigate to the Location of your Drivers and Install. |

Everytime I installed beta of anything, whether it be internet explorer, drivers, whatever - something else always was broken on it. End up always going back to final release. Now, I dont bother unless its something that I really need to work.

that's why they are beta
but there has never been a videocard driver that is equally stable for every card or revision
for some cards this might be more stable than for others, beta or not
there's practically no difference between stability of beta or final videocard driver releases - some just have the WHQL signature so the installer won't bitch about not having one

That game is awesome.
Nothing I will be playing for long, but great fun for those minutes you are waiting for your mates to join *putyourfavoriteonlinegameinhere* .
I wasn`t laughing while playing a game for a long time, but this one really lets me burst out in laughter from time to time.

Games for Windows Live plus a few custom checks supposedly makes trainers very difficult for this game based on a forum post on CheatHappens.

However the game must be "patched" to allow modified files which involves a few steps I posted about a few pages back but I'll post the link again.
http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=380102
(I didn't use the .bat file as that would make a copy of each file and instead edited the filelist.txt manually for each entry I wanted to modify.)
Make sure to do a back-up of each file you modify in case patches won't work with modified content or if the game starts acting weird after editing a particular file.
As far as the shaders go I suppose renaming the folders in the "\Grand Theft Auto IV\common\shaders" directory would work but I can't really recommend that method.
(At the very least I wouldn't recommend ATI shaders for NVIDIA cards and so on and I wouldn't use higher-end shaders with lower end cards.) |

MMm can u correct if i am wrong?
1) execute magic.bat
2) reemplace .pak from the "magic zip" to the original (make a backup first)
3) edit visualsettings.txt ->search for a line with the word bloom
4) save and run the game?

That should be correct, though I don't recommend using the .bat file as it would create a copy of most game files and you probably have no interest in editing more than a few of them.
Make a copy of files.txt and also a backup of (In the same folder as the EXE files are.) and open files.txt, alter the last line from files.txt to the copy (In my case it's named files_mod.txt)
Now copy and open visualsettings.dat (I just renamed the copy visualsettings_.dat) and change
misc.BloomIntensityClamp.HD 10
misc.BloomIntensityClamp.SD 10.00
to 0 in order to disable bloom though the performance gain from doing this varies depending on GPU power.
Finally open files.txt and change visualsettings.dat to visualsettings_.dat or whatever you renamed the backup to.
Game should start and allow you to modify any file as long as you repeat the above procedure.
Hope that explains it without needing to copy every file in the game folders. (Takes up space.)
EDIT: As a bonus do the same with and open loadingscreens_pc.dat and change the six first entries (From "legal screen" to "blank") and change duration to "1" to disable logo movies.
(Will just quickly flash by, menu still takes a while to load and a bit longer if you're also signed into the "Social Club" as it updates with various news and such.)
EDIT: Timecyc.dat in pc/data (Instead of common/data) also handles lighting depending on the time-of-day setting. (Not exactly easy to modify but very customizable.)

a quastion about ati drivers
Haven't had to update my ati drivers yet (new comp, always had nvidea cards)
So, I go to device manager, and run that driver program.
But what about the catalyst control center? Does it get uninstalled to? Or do I download only drivers from ati site and keep this ccc????
Dumb question I know, but wanna know this for sure

much better i think but something i dont get it
1) put an empty .pak file and make a copy from the original one
2) make a copy A and B from Files.txt
3) To Files txt modifed the last line To A
4) should A be empty and only may containg : per example
common\data\loadingscreens_pc_modificado.dat ?
5) Should delete in files.txt the line
common\data\loadingscreens_pc.dat ?
Thats is consfusing.
Because what i do is this
1) Just make 2 copies from files.txt
the first copy is Files_original.txt
the second copy is Files_mod.txt
2) To Files.txt I modified the last line to Files_mod.txt And Also Deleted the line common\data\loading_screens_pc.dat
3)To Files_mod.txt I deleted ALL THE LINES! and only i add the
common\data\loadingscreens_pc_modificado.dat
So basicly Files.txt make a chain to Files_Mod.txt to open the Blank Videos
But the games do not run :S so something is bad..

I missed the filelist.pak file in the archive so that's probably why it doesn't work as it's also one of the protected files.
As can be seen by this line in the files.txt file in the archive I uploaded.
pc\data\filelist_.pak
(Instead of using the original filelist.pak entry.)

1. Anyone has a clue about the fatal error zlib20? i can't find a proper solution for it, and its not listed on the "error codes" provided by rockstar. I think it only happens on vista64. According to rockstar forum replies by users reinstall doesn't fix it either.
2. Any way to enable/force AA to the game? doesn't seem to work from nvidia panel.
Other than that game runs fine with Q6600 @ 3.2ghz, 4gb ddr2, 8800ultra with 180.84, max settings @ 1680x1050, for 20mins that is till ctd.
The skies shall rain fire and the seas will become as blood.

Every time I'm given a vehicle on a chase mission, it handles like shit and drivers become suicidal and ram into me. Are R* doing this shit on purpose to increase difficulty? It's fucking bullshit.
