Hmmm har testar stänga av catalyst ai (brukade hjälpa på min dator) men fungerar fortfarande inne.

Why does my game work fine to start with then starts stuttering ?

If when you start playing GTA 4 things are all hunky dory, you are getting nice frame rates and the bermuda triangle isn't eating your textures then after an unspecified amount of time (could be a few minutes or an hour or so) you start to notice stutter and textures missing. Then you have a memory leak (now don't rush out to get some pampers it isn't that kind of leak). A memory leak is :-QUOTE
a memory leak is a particular type of unintentional memory consumption by a computer program where the program fails to release memory when no longer needed. This condition is normally the result of a bug in a program that prevents it from freeing up memory that it no longer needs.

Anyway enough of the why's and more about the what can you do about it's. The simplest solution which might work for some is to just press alt and tab to go back to the windows desktop, then alt tab back into the game. When you alt tab you clear everything from your gpu memory. However obviously the problem is still there and the memory leak will happen again sooner or later.

A more permanent solution has been discovered by swsuk and it was pm'd to him from Rockstar Toronto. It is a relatively easy fix to do but you will need to know how to do the commandline.txt.
start Notepad up on your PC
you need to enter the following command depending on the texture quality you are using :-CODE
If you are using high textures then use this command "-memrestrict 629145600" (ignore the quotes)
If you are using medium textures then use this command "-memrestrict 314572800" (ignore the quotes)
If you are using low textures then use this command "-memrestrict 209715200" (ignore the quotes)

If you have done it correctly you should have a text file in notepad that looks like this :-CODE
-memrestrict 314572800

Now save it as a text file called "commandline.txt" (ignore the quotes) and save it into the main GTA 4 folder where you will find the files "GTAIV.exe" and "LaunchGTAIV.exe"
This fix has also been known to help users that suffer from the dreaded RESC10 error. Unfortunately this is not a "fix all" solution, it will work for some people but not for others. However if you are suffering from stuttering gameplay or the RESC10 error then give it a go, you won't hurt anything by trying.
