Posted: 05 Dec 2008, 16:06 Post subject: GTA IV released for PC |
|
|
It's here, it's here!
(and it requires a fucking nuclear engine to play it)
Quite a few of our SKC members have purchased it already. But setting up an online IV community will take a while i think.

No dedicated servers at this point. So it doesn't look like we'll able to host our very own SKC GTA IV server any time soon :/

Well, post your GFWL names in here anyway so we can maybe mess about in free mode together. Nothing more fun than tearing through Liberty City with other people alongside you.
My username is: SKC Matt88 (no surprises there)

Ill give it a month before you're bored and want an online community again
But no really, i will buy gtaIV just so i can put the retail box next to my gtasa
And it will be nice to play the 1player game properly with a mouse
So its gonna be same as console ennit? Hosting little 12player games?

I tryed multyplayer today too, and it was quite fun. Deathmatch was like samp tho with better sync and the possibility to turn on traffic and bots(ppl walking in the streets). Race was fun too. Turns are harder than in mta, but if you use the brakes more and use the right raceline through the turns it wont be that hard.
Some race screenies
The first turn in the map. It was a massacre

I look at those screen shots and see my computer running it like a slideshow before getting the message that I've been auto-kicked because it's running too slow...
This game is still a CPU hungry whore-slut, and I can't see why.

By the way, Sputs is an awesome helicopter pilot.

Ok i just spent from yesterday xmas day at midday to now trying to get this thing working, and i havent even loaded the fucking game up yet lolol
[If you have short patience i seriously reccommend you dont even try]
I had loads of problems, the first being my shitty dvd drive wouldnt read the disc [used disc laser cleaner about 20times], but it read it in the end and did install eventually, kept on doing that disc read error "cyclic redundancy check"
So now i have seem to have created 2 thingies, windows live game thingy is "SKCHumanTraffiC" and rockstar is "HumanTraffiC" and somehow it seems to have linked together using some kind of weird magic
So now i am ready to load GtaIV for the first time i think, wish me luck
If im not online for a while its because smoke poured from the back of my PC and created a fire

Ye, to fix the "blackness" you have to turn up the texture quality in either your ati or nvidia control panel.
