Hey all, as we have a few avid GTA 4 players here just wondered if anyone else had come across this issue.
I lose all sound in game and once the sound has gone every cut scene just semi freezes. What is random is if something in the scene isnt a major factor in the dialogue it doesnt freeze. For example waves in the sea still move, birds still move about etc but the actually scene doesnt do anything. It wont allow me to skip through the scene either which is dam annoying.
Im probably about halfway through the story line now and this has been doing it since day 1, but started off at 30 mins+ before it did it, now im lucky if I can pick up a misson before it happens. The actual game (although minus sound) plays fine, I can drive about, kill people, ya know, the normal GTA things to do just cant complete any missions.
Once the sound has gone I have to ctrl, alt delete to close the program as it just goes to black screen if i choose exit. I dont lose sound of anything else at the same time (if im listening to music for example the tunes carry on) so its GTA related rather than a hardware issue.
I have tried reinstalling a few times and get exactly the same thing, and have tried on a few different game versions with the same results.
Its getting annoying now as wanted to play through the game and get as many achievements as possible, then mod it up, as it stands I am going to be lucky to even get through the first play through.
Every other game I have installed and played is fine, so def just GTA related, hoping one of you guys may be able to help. Tried a google of the issue and although get a load of posts related to game freezing, none of which seem similar to my problem.
At least the game was only a few notes if it isnt fixable
