It's not the laptop's fault. GTA4 is apparently poorly optimized, and has issues with GPUs with over 2GBs! Here's a link to a support page with a work-around: http://support.rockstargames.com/entries/20069778-issues-with-gta-iv-showing-video-cards-with-over-2...
I am very happy to hear that, wil definetly try that when i have the time.
But do you know anything about the other games ive experienced problems with? I will do more in deapth research on individual games once i have tested out my game library to find out what works and what doesnt.
I have new games that ive tested.
Runs normally:
GTA 3, run through steam.
Portal 2, run through steam.
Skyrim, run through steam.
Flatout 2, run through steam.
Games with issues:
GTA vice city, run through steam, mouse buttons do not work.
GTA episodes from liberty city, run through steam, same issues as gta 4 (wich is understandable).
Flatout ultimate carnage, run through steam, would not even start up (although this was also the case on my other computers).
It's still a fairly high ratio on wich games have issues, and i feel the need to point out that my 2 lower spec, but still fairly new (less than 6 months old) HP laptops do not have these issues. I planned on replacing the 2 HP's with a powerfull Asus since i heard that asus would be a much better choice, and since my old desktop was mostly asus, and it ran flawlesly for 8 years till i retired it, but instead it became a choice i am now beginning to regret.
