Are you a fan of GTA Four but find yourself frustrated with laggy gameplay and stuttering issues? Well, you’re in luck! In today’s video, we’ll dive into some simple but effective tweaks and configuration settings that can help you get rid of lag and enjoy a smoother gaming experience.
We’ll be discussing config files, command line tweaks, and more, all aimed at optimizing your gameplay in GTA Four.
So let’s not waste any time and get started on optimizing your gaming experience.
Identifying the Problem
Before we delve into the solutions, let’s take a moment to identify the issues we’re facing. In the video, the gameplay footage clearly shows lag and stuttering problems. Instead of a steady speed of around 50 to 60 frames per second (FPS), the game is mostly hovering below 60 FPS, resulting in a less-than-optimal gaming experience.
However, fear not, as we have some tricks up our sleeve to fix these issues and make your game run smoothly again.
Installing the GTA Four Fix File
To begin our optimization process, we’ll start with the configuration file, or the GTA Four fix file, as mentioned in the video.
This file holds the key to increasing FPS in the game and optimizing its performance.
Although it may seem a bit complicated at first, don’t panic! We won’t be messing with every setting in this file.
To install the fix file, follow these steps:
- Download and install the 7-Zip software application, which will allow you to extract the zip files containing the fix files.
- Extract the folders from the zip files.
- Copy the extracted folders named “Common” and “PC”.
- Paste these folders into the game directory.
- Ignore the command line text file in the config optimization zip file, as it may not be the best one for your GTA Four game.
Later in the video, the creator shares the best command line text file for optimizing your GTA Four game.
Optimizing with Command Line Text Files
In addition to the GTA Four fix file, the game also has command line text files and config files that you can tweak to further improve performance.
The video advises against using the command line text file found in the FPS boost fix file and recommends creating a new one instead.
Follow these steps to optimize your game using a new command line text file:
- In the GTA Four directory, right-click and select “New” and then “Text Document”.
- Rename the new text document as “command line”.
- Open the newly created “command line” text file.
- Save the command line text file in the GTA Four game directory.
- Type the specific code shown in the video into the text file.
- Save the file and exit.
- Open the game and check the FPS with the help of an FPS counting app.
If you don’t have an FPS checker software on your PC, you can find more details in the video’s description.
Finding the Right Balance
While these tweaks and configuration settings can significantly improve your gameplay experience in GTA Four, it’s important to note that finding the right balance between graphics and performance for your system is crucial. Every system is unique, and what works for one player may not work for another. Therefore, it’s important to experiment with the settings to find what works best for you.

Thankfully, with the simple and effective tweaks we’ve discussed in this article, you can optimize the game’s performance and enjoy smooth, lag-free gameplay.
