Grand Theft Auto 4: Episodes From Liberty City (Includes The Lost And Damned & The Ballad Of Gay Tony)

On GTA 4 I do the benchmark test with 1920x1200 reso, most details on high except for shadows, water reflections, lighting which are low (as I dont notice the difference but notice big performance difference within all games) and I get 58 average fps with vertical sync on, I then try and play lost and damned and wow drops allover the place and couldn't be bothered to even attempt to play it.
I have a decent pc a gtx 295 graphic card, 8gb ddr corsair dominator 1066mhz, quadcore 9650 at 3.8ghz., really is a poorly optimized game, I can run every other game maxxed out to the hill with no worries.
As for the 2 campaigns I can say they are ok as played on xbox 360 bit short, gay tony being much better than lost and damned.

Bought this game last week and ouch my computer hated it.
I have a up to date PC, running the latest drivers and software,
DDR3 Ram, 8GB of it.
All requirements met really.

But wow, i installed lost and dammed and played this first, got into the game, setup the settings for my computer (normally maxed out), got into game and LAGG jees, never seen so much lagg, cut scenes, moving and shooting just all slow motion.

So i lowered the settings to the lowest possible, no change, all so slow. Thinking it was a install problem i installed Ballad of tony, same thing, unsure why this is happening because my PC runs GTA4 original just fine... Interesting Rockstar.... Needs patching or something.

Id only recommend this to users who own a up to date top notch PC running at least 8 GB or more RAM. Needs Processor speed and it eats your PC :(

Thanks for reading.

Before I start my PC spec is:-
i7 920 2.66ghz
6gb ddr3
GTX260 896mb
2 Velicraptors in raid

For those of you having problems even though you have good spec pc's gta 4 is all about your graphics card. It knows how much memory your card has and even though I can have several apps running a the same time and my cpu doesn't flinch I can only run gta around 3/4 of its potential. Why? cause I only have 896mb of video memory. Perhaps when I get a gtx480 with 2gb things will be different. I could have 32gb of system memory but gta would still run the same.
The Game. TLATD is rubbish! I found it boring and dull. The bike handled like a cow and it was over before I started to get into it.
The Ballard of Gay Tony however is super duper wow wow wow wow.
New cars, new weapons, altimeter and sub missions coming out its ears. Yes Luis accent is very annoying and the drug war missions are all the same but the night club scene is fab, the missions are brill and it just makes the whole gta genre worth it. Its legend and in my mind its the highest praise I can give.

Hello everyone!
I played this game on ps3, and it is very funny!!
I would like to ask a question about this pc version and I apologize if it's not the right section, but I've not found another way...
Is the game multilanguage? If so, what languages are there?
Thank you very much!

this game is quality im playing on a ati 5870 and the graphics are excellent, it has a excellent story line and is good value for money as it has 2 games. its taking me ages to complete as there are loads of extra missions u can do. would def recommend this!
