Can't speak for GTA4 (not played it yet) Jragghen Send a noteboard - 30/04/2010 06:13:18 PM
EMPIRE: TOTAL WAR and GRAND THEFT AUTO IV are very flaky on PC. Both games have had patches released which help a lot, but there's still issues with both games running like crap on really good, really powerful machines for no real reason. Of course, they run perfectly fine on other machines, so it's a bit random which result you'll get.

Personally, I'd consider GTA4 on console instead and maybe pick up NAPOLEON: TOTAL WAR (which is very similar to EMPIRE, and far more stable).


But Total War's issues seem to be due to lots of enormous textures having to be loaded.

Since I made my upgrade to an SSD, I plopped it onto that drive and it's been running swimmingly.

PC will always allow you increased complexity. LadyLorraine - 29/04/2010 02:23:56 AM 384 Views
Only if the game includes greater complexity in a PC version. lord-of-shadow - 01/05/2010 06:49:12 AM 357 Views

I agree - GTA IV is frustratingly unoptimized on the PC. *NM* Zalis - 12/05/2010 08:38:17 PM 398 Views
If you get Steam-based multi-player games, feel free to look me up on there. Zalis - 12/05/2010 08:39:59 PM 382 Views
