Going to install it and see how she plays.

It is a pain the arse to register a social club account.

18GB of HD Space!!!! Are you cereal? :shocked2:

Yes Sir. But hey it has unlimited installs. It is a pain to install in the beginning.
1. Must make a Rockstar Social Account.
2. Download the latest Windows Live.
3. Sign in to your Account with Rockstar.
And that is about it. I will discuss the performance expects a bit later. Kudos to the 150ml registration.

I believe you meant Aspects.

I'll wait to get this one as I already paid for this once for the 360.
-
Well if you already have it for the 360 then I probably wouldn't get it. That is if you want the 32 person multiplay, and the video editing function. And the 4 person co-op, but I think that is in the 360 version.
-
All but the video edit - which I do want. Oh I'll get it, just not in the normal ways.
-
I would wait a few weeks until someone creates a workaround. But I love it, it is taking some time to get used to but I am sure it will grow on me. And there is an interesting thing. Now my rig as seen on my signature is more then enough to run this game. But the thing is; is that GTA4 will only let me run it at 1680X1050 on medium graphics. The kicker is the view distance you can only have it up to a certain point and it informs you that it is unstable. Basically it is your graphics memory, so if you have 512MB of video ram like I do. It will only see the 512MB of ram. Regardless if you run Crossfire or SLI. I run Crossfire in this instance. I mean it looks pretty good and all just pisses me off I can't push it to its limits.
-
I didn't think using two 512mb cards in crossfire or SLI would double the usable video memory. I may be mistaken.

No you are correct. Basically crossfire allows the game to send each frame to a different card to speed the rendering. Each card does half of the work to show each frame.
-
Well I can run it at 1920X1200 now. Guess I had to restart the PC. Might have to do another defrag after it install about 18gb of stuff.
-
Another thing I noticed is that it uses about 3gb of ram while playing. I have 8GB in my system. And I have the G15 to only display CPU and RAM usage. So I look down at a glance and see that the system RAM is alittle more then halfway up.

Well I took a look at that. I mean I am not having any real issues like the game crashing or anything. It is just the performance is lackluster. The textures mainly, it takes time to load them all. The patch is in the works and of course has to await approval from microsoft.
-
"A lot of the settings when I was originally putting them in were based off of what I could actually squeeze into system memory and video memory. In some cases we're just seeing 2 GB video cards come out now. That'd be the only way to really get the absolute highest settings. You don't have to put the game at the highest settings to play it. It seems like a lot of people want to. When we were designing it it was with the intent of having future growth with the game. "
You know... Just in case you are trying to run it at higher settings.

I am glad I didn't buy this game. I played for about 10 minutes last night....not impressed at all. Controls are not the greatest, but I guess that's when having a controller really helps. The graphics were not up to par for a PC version of this game. I was playing at 1280 x 1024 on high rendering and medium textures and it was pretty smooth except for the mild hitching but it could and should look better on the PC than on the 360. I also did not like the BS you had to go through in order to just install the damn thing let alone play it. I will give it some more time to rub off on me but my first impressions are unimpressive.

did you install the new nvidia driver that was released for the game this past week???
-
Nope, but I will now. I didn't even know they released a new driver for this game.
-
He meant a video driver. Not the patch for the game. But for the first time it bricked my system tonight. I couldn't believe that, luckily I save often.
-
I know it's a driver that's why I said
I didn't even know they released a new driver for this game.
In reference to Dave saying nvidia released a new driver because of this game.
-
Well, Tibs and I tried to play a LAN game over Hamachi last night. We got to the point where we can see eachothers server running, but once it tries to connect, it just drops back to the server browser. If enough of us get this (legally or not), it would be a blast to play at lans!
-
Most definitely. I might also add that after we were done. I went back in after I closed hamachi to access my windows live account. Turns out it still read hamachi as the network adapter. So I had to get rid of the registry edit. And then it worked like a charm afterwards. And I did update my ATI drivers before we played, and I must say it is definitely getting better in the performance department.

Than it didn't brick did it? Bricking is thrown around way too much.
Started gaining popularity from PSP firmware days.
"A bricked PSP is one in which the firmware has been corrupted so that the PSP will no longer start up. It has, essentially, become a very nice-looking brick, suitable only for use as a paperweight. "
-
You can't ban the word "Bricking!"
:laugh:
-
So you must have meant definition number 5 (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bricking (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bricking)). As in, "While Tibs was having sex with his computer, it bricked a load onto his junk."
