Hey, I downloaded GTA iv (a game) on my mac book pro 2011 (i5, 500gb). My mac specs are higher than the games minimum specs to run the game, but whenever I run the game... It send an error
"TEXP70 - Unable to create depth render target - Please re-install DirectX and/or install the latest video card driver."
What do I do?!
Regards.
Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), i5 500gb
Grand Theft Auto IV is incompatible with OS X.
You're installing a Windows program, thus the "Direct X" reference.
GTA hasn't been supported on Mac's with OS X since 2004

If your running Windows in BootCamp or via virtual machine we can't assist with your Windows problems.
However we can tell you that you can't use the driver on the Mac as it has it's own, I think it's OpenGl.
If your in BootCamp, perhaps those in the BootCamp forum can assist with your driver issues.
We can't assist with your game problems neither. Sorry. 😟

But I believe it is, I mean, many ppl r running that game on their OS X. What going on?
They're running snow leopard in that video. You're on mountain lion.

There are versions of OS X, one is released about every 1-2 years.
The version there is 10.6 Snow Leopard, the last version of OS X that supported PPC processor based software, 10.6 had a compatability enviroment called Rosetta.
The later OS X versions of 10.7-10.8 and up are not longer supporting Rosetta and Grand Theft Auto decided to no longer release their game for the Mac/OS X platform.
This is a commong problem on Mac's and all I can suggest is you ask them to support us, but they likely will say the Mac doesn't sell enough machines to support the costs of making a version for us.
It's possible if GTA has support for OpenGL drivers, that it will run on Windows in BootCamp, which is basically booting the Mac into a seperate partition that has Windows installed.
Sorry your game doesn't work, perhaps you can return or exchange it, or sell it to a Windows user.
If you want to learn how to install Windows on your Mac you can do that if you can find a Windows 7 license, however I don't know how well it's going to run or any issues doing so.

In my opinon it's just best to get a Windows 7 3D gaming tower online and use that to play the game.
Mac's are not the ideal choice of 3D gamers like yourself, sorry. 😟
Help plz
